1221  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BabyDoge Coin To The Moon!!!? on: April 21, 2022, 10:53:26 AM
Well then I hope more and more people fall for this, and fall for it hard. Not that I would wish everyone to go bankrupt from a pure gamble that only enriches the project owners but I'm more and more thinking now people need to suffer first to learn their lessons in crypto.

Plus, if we see what happened after ICO and defi hypes, the market crashed but recovered. Maybe it's good to get max attention and investments in these scams and then see the recovery after that!
The sad part about your wish is that there is likely a better scenario for crypto in that situation. These people who fall for these type of things usually end up with getting something much worse in the long run, and that ends up with something even worse for the crypto. However, when they fall for stuff like babydoge, then the owners of that project take that money, and I am sure they cash some of it out and do some personal stuff and buy something for themselves but keep most of the money in crypto and do much better investments with it.

So all in all, in the long run it is much better for people to actually give their money to someone who knows better what to do with it.
1222  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any altcoin to be millionere by holding up to 5 years from now ? on: April 20, 2022, 09:53:32 PM
always oriented to the existence of a pump on a large scale. I think it's hard to predict. whether we are determined to choose a new altcoin in the hope that there will be a pump, I think it is a risky thing. In the long term, I think choosing a top altcoin will give our funds peace of mind, maybe the increase will not be like the altcoin hype, but of course it will multiply our profits above the current inflation. and many big investors are oriented to the safety of their funds, that's the kind of thinking we should emulate
Instead of waiting for it to be pumped, just wait for it to get higher value. Whenever I invest into something, I am not planning on making money by that project getting a hyped pump, instead I wait for it to get higher value because of improvements.

This means that if you are investing, then you would be saying "I believe this project will be much better and will be liked by a lot more people in the future" and that is a more long term approach. If you are expecting a pump and dump that means you do not trust that project and it is sad situation and doubt it would be working at all. Sure there could be a couple situations but I doubt it would work.
1223  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your expectation on: April 20, 2022, 07:45:49 PM
It's obvious by now, we don't need to wait till countries legalized them. Ever since we reaches all time high in 2017, there are a lot of them who required KYC, exchanges etc because governments are forcing everyone and making it a mandatory. So I guess this is now the basic but necessary part of countries accepting bitcoin. No more anonymity as they are going to give up in exchange of acceptance from countries and legalization.
It is really a good feeling that I am easily doing whatever I want with crypto in my nation. It wasn't really easy to get it going back in the day, it was good but not great so it took me a while to feel this way. Back in the day in my nation we had gray area situation, it wasn't illegal and nobody made it illegal, but nobody made it legal neither so it was always a bit of an issue.

I hoped that it would do better and eventually it did, right now it is fully legal and nobody questions what I do with it, I can basically earn it, spend it, trade it or whatever else. This wasn't something I really expected many years ago, so the fact that it is finally here makes me feel so happy.
1224  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC in the Eye of the Storm, According to Glassnode Co-Founders – Here's why ! on: April 20, 2022, 06:09:33 AM
The co-founders of leading analytics firm Glassnode are warning Bitcoin traders that the current macroeconomic backdrop could ignite another sell-off event for BTC.

Having such experience isn't something new, this is not the first time bitcoin price is dropping and not the first time it will be as well rising, so why creating FUD? i see that most people that got freaked about an event of price speculation on bitcoin either have zero or little knowledge about how the whole thing works, well this is social media and anyone can come out with a claim base on his myopic sight of approach when it comes to bitcoin.
I believe I have been here long enough to know that every single time bitcoin goes down there will be some FUD and every time it goes up there will be some FOMO, I can't really know for sure why but it has always happened that way. I understand that it is not going to be simple for most people to accept this fact but it is just the truth.

For some reason, people just look at the current situation and see that there could be a chance that bitcoin could crash even more, and the other people think that we are on the verge of a new breakout as well. Nobody says "maybe it will just stay here for a while", no idea why they do that at all.

I do believe that the problem is not about who did the stream and how well they did the stream and what the rewards were or anything like that. The problem is that if you say eddie will be there, then eddie is not there, that upsets people. Not like he has to be, I mean if you said Dusan and Uros will be there, and then they were, that’s fine as well. People just feel like they were tricked, even though it’s not a big deal, people still want to be certain that they are not getting fooled by getting these questions and all.

I am pretty sure that we got a great stream, couldn't watch it all, had to leave, but at the end of the day if you say Eddie will come and he doesn't, that may upset a few people.
I understand that there could be some disappointment but people could get busy and that could result with them not being available time to time. If this was something that we got tickets and went to see a concert and last minute we realize there is someone else instead of the person we paid tickets for, then I would totally understand.

However stream is a free thing and not only it's free, it also pays you if you are lucky and watching. This is why I believe that there is nothing too big to be disappointed about. I personally believe that we could be focusing a bit more on the payment and rewards and gifts they distribute more than who did the stream.
1226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 19, 2022, 07:02:16 PM
Inter Millan will host Seria A title leaders AC Milan at home today; the game will be a tough one because there are only two points separating these two giants; a win from a home team will give the leading chance with one point, so AC Millan will need to be very strong and play well in order to maintain their position. I predicted a tie in the match. Your thoughts???
Dude... it is the cup game. Nobody will earn any points from this game, it is just a cup game, and whoever wins will go to finals to have a chance to win the cup, and the one who lose will go back home without a cup, no three points or anything like that. I get the mistake though, happens when we do not really check things and in a brain freeze moment, I have done it millions of times before.

I believe that whoever wins tonight, will have a lower chance at the league title though. Anyone who loses this game will have a lot more desire and fire to win the league to make up for it, and anyone who wins the title will be able to say they at least got something so will be more relaxed.
1227  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty is taking another direction on: April 19, 2022, 02:02:35 PM
So, it's your problem and we can do nothing for that for sure. You must pick the project that you think that would be profitable for you and it's not use who must pick a bounty for you. If you're wrongly picking the bounty campaign like that and i would not be surprised if you will be getting the small reward like that. That's non something new in the crypto but the only suggestion that i can suggest it for you if you must play quantity over quality as you have been participating into the social media campaign.
We can't say "go pick this project" basically, but we could try to tell everyone what type investment they should make, like how to pick a decent bounty. This means that if you tell them how to pick a decent bounty, you do not have to say which bounty they have to pick. It is a bit kind of like "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for his life" type of deal.

I personally never pick anything that is done by the team for example, always go for high level bounty managers. If that is decided, I check what type of requirements because a legit place will ask for more since they are paying more, or basically even paying.
1228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not profitable anymore, Altcoins like Avalanche / Algorand etc. are on: April 18, 2022, 09:45:22 PM
Usually, the crypto community invests in the crypto that has great technology but is dirt cheap. The goal of almost every major project is to make a profit. With new technology, we are able to make more money and gain more benefits. Certainly, new technologies are attractive to the community, but Bitcoin technology and its standard are far superior to all other alternative coins. That is our belief and an unquestionable truth. We are witnessing the beginning of new technologies, many don't realize it yet, but it might be possible.
The goal of new project to make a profit is a bit of a problem though. I mean I can see that there are too many projects which have creators who ask for money so that they would keep on working on it. Did Satoshi asked for money to build bitcoin? I mean these should not be really a problem for people to handle, it is not our job to pay them to build something. Build it with your own money, have some yourself, if you are good then it will worth something and you could sell it if you want to, or keep it.

But, to ask us to pay them to build a project is the biggest problem. All those new technologies are paid by us basically, we are the R/D funding they need, which makes no sense to me.
1229  Economy / Economics / Re: Gold , Silver Or Crypto? on: April 18, 2022, 09:00:34 PM
Gold is more trusted than silver by people worldwide, so it's no surprise the precious metal has greater demand over any other precious metal on the market. Crypto is relatively new to the world, with little backing behind it. Prices are widely volatile these days, making crypto quite challenging as a serious long-term investment. Only Bitcoin can be considered the best choice among all the other cryptocurrencies on the market due to its deflationary design. Which asset to invest into is entirely up to you. As long as you don't invest more money than what you can't afford to lose, you will have nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts Grin
I would say that ETH doesn't look too bad neither. I mean it is like silver to gold, and eth to bitcoin are the same things I am not saying that it is a bad idea, it just doesn't mean that we should be considering bitcoin as the only one. Obviously, if you consider BTC to be most trustworthy then you will be mostly right, and if you want to invest only into bitcoin and nothing else then it is not a bad idea neither.

Certainly better than some people who have only doge investments lol. However, do not be afraid of alts neither, even though there are tens of thousands of bad ones, there are a few ones, maybe like a dozen of them which are nice as well.
1230  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's preventing bitcoin from worldwide adoption? on: April 18, 2022, 08:41:47 PM
For a currency to be globally adopted, it has to be backed by a government. The problem is that Bitcoin doesn't have any government to back it up. It is just a bunch of computer code. This lack of government support is the reason why some countries are banning Bitcoins. Another issue is that it is not easy to use. This is because of the fact that the Bitcoin network is a peer to peer network. Each transaction is verified by a computer called a miner. This consumes a lot of processing power.
I do not think that we need governmental help. I mean it would be great if it happens but we do not "need" it, it is good to have and nothing more. There are also some governments that back it up as well, so it is not really that much of a big deal, it is going to be something special when big nations back it up and the price will go up and that's understandable, the adoption will go through the roof when that happens.

So, you are sort of right but it is not a "must" that's what I want to say. Obviously if we do not get any backing at all, just regular laws, like exactly like this, no bans or anything then we could still reach to a global adoption level over course of many years anyway, it will just take longer.
1231  Economy / Economics / Re: When Will This War End? on: April 18, 2022, 07:28:25 PM
The only way for these killings to stop is a ceasefire or making peace. Russia hasn't achieved their objectives yet, so I don't see any possibility of a csasfire right now. Same goes for peace, Russia wants to fight for the east of Ukraine and the Ukrainians will not give up any land. At the moment an end of the war seems very unlikely to me.

Western countries have already done a lot for Ukraine, there are large weapon deliveries for Ukraine from all around the world. It seems now that Ukraine is fighting with much more modern weapons than Russia. And without these weapons Ukraine probably wouldn't be able to hold against Russia. So the only option the West has is to increase sanctions and increase weapon deliveries.

The longer the war the harder it will be for Putin, if he can't show any victories. Taking more land in the east would give him a stronger hand in the negotiations. I don't see any quick ending of the war. This could likely go on for the next months.
I can understand Ukrainians, they are getting attacked and another nation wants a piece of land from them and that is why they are trying to not stop it. However, I do not get Russia, you tried, you failed, you could try again and fail again and you could keep trying until you succeed but do they really think that it worths it?

I mean tens of thousands of dead, with billions in lost equipment and whatever they have, all for just piece of land, plus all the future money lost because now people will be looking for alternative ways to live without needing energy from them as well. They lost so much just to win so little, makes no sense to me at all.

So far I haven't used mirror sites, I didn't need to... I agree with you guys that people should be very careful with these things, it's easy to disguise a scam with the help of a mirror site, in a very obvious way!

But I'm interested in something else, if someone can't access the original site and doesn't use a VPN, they can use a mirror site! Right? So are all providers available on mirror sites for all of us? Or there are also restrictions? I use VPN to play some providers (slots), but these mirror sites look like a better way for playing those providers, of course, if it's possible.
There is absolutely no difference between the original website and the mirror websites. Whatever you are capable of doing on this website, you are capable of doing in any other mirror as well. I would still suggest using the original, don't know why and I can't give you a proper reason for it.

However, I just feel like it is a much better situation to keep using the original website if you could, only if you have no other choice you could use the mirrored website. In my mind, mirror website is the place where you could join, then ask support why you can't use the original and nothing more, it is not even a place to keep on gambling but to solve your issue with the original.
1233  Economy / Economics / Re: Passive income : Bank interest vs staking on: April 17, 2022, 09:52:38 PM
Do people here put a ton of money staking stablecoins in sites like nexo, celsius, gemini etc?
Staking in my opinion is more promising than internest banks, and for almost a year I have been actively staking with several major coins such as BNB, MATIC, Stable coins and so on, and for stable coins I use for staking altcoins and from the list is Celsius, besides that I also use for staking new altcoins because it provides a large APR up to more than 100%.
I agree that staking could be bringing more money but it also makes sense, why? Because when you are staking in many different coins, you are actually creating that coin, when you put money in the bank they give you money that they do not have at that moment but calculate that they would, so they use your money to go out there and earn money and come back and give some of it to you.

In staking it is not like that, like for example Cake staking means you are creating those coins, just like miners use equipment to mine bitcoin, you use your cake to create more cake. This is easier and the return makes sense because of it, BNB or stable ones are a bit more closer to banks.
1234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: No condition is permanent in crypto on: April 17, 2022, 09:38:06 PM
No price movement will go on forever, it is not sustainable, people will take profit when the price goes up a lot, and people will buy a lot when it goes down enough. This causes the situation to become a bit easier to handle. I am not saying that we shouldn't be focusing on making zero money or something like that, of course you could make money from the volatility, just do not be afraid of it.

There are too many people who see the volatility and think that they can't make money or it will crash, or its too scary. If you learn to live with it, then you could be earning so much more from crypto and you will be earning a decent income even with the ups and downs.
It does take a while before people could make some sort of profit. I mean they will need to learn a way to make some sort of profit that will end up being a bit more risky. I am not saying that we shouldn't really focus on making some profit at first when we are starting out, but we shouldn't be shocked if we fail to do that.

Just focus on learning the volatility, keeping your emotions at bay, and that type of deal and study how to make some sort profit. That is why I have to learn how to trade first, learn how to keep our emotions in check and so forth and then start trading. It is both easy, but also not easy enough to do it without ever doing anything and suddenly start.
1235  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shiba dump coming? on: April 17, 2022, 09:14:08 PM
Whatever that is telling you deep down that the whales are buying ShibaInu because they expected a Robinhood listing, then you should be asking yourself how they ever got to know that Robinhood is going to be listing SHIB on their exchange?

It’s not like Robinhood was making the announcement that they were going to list this coin on their exchange, and also no one also expected that short increase that happened, it just happened and it was for a short term and we don’t know if it would go further or not. And also I can’t tell you that the whales are going to dumping on the market, we don’t know nobody’s next move.
We could be considering a few people who are in the inside could have a network with those people? I am not saying that "any" whale could get it, but if you are robinhood and if you have a board of directors, some high level executives, like CEO or CFO or whatever, these people have rich friends as well I am sure of it.

When asked "what are you guys working on these days" they may have said "we will be adding shibainu soon" as a regular talking point, not like some "buy some shiba, we will add that and you could get rich" type of deal. Do you ever ask your friends what they work on? It’s the same thing. So those friends they have, who are rich, may have bought some.

I dont like this kind of bonuses as well, not because of the wagering requirement but because of the random time and small reward. Usually bonus drop in telegram is worth around $5 for verified members, but surprisingly such bonus is always fully claimed in few minutes only. Today there will be another stream by Eddie, am I right? I think he will talk about Easter bonus more today, anyone can watch the stream especially for those who are curious and waiting for the Easter bonus.
Yes the prize is smaller but sometimes the wagering requirements become a barrier when wagered $13k but needed was $20k
if i can choose i prefer bonus via email it will be bigger. I never watch eddie live streaming anymore because i don't know what i can get is just a waste of time I prefer to wait for information from other users or email.
It is just a way that others participate. I mean it is not stake that does this, it's the gamblers in stake that does it right? It means that sometimes it's stake that requires a high amount but at the same time gamblers do provide that and get it which tells stake that the amount is not bad.

If nobody reached those levels, or very few people did, then stake would lower it, but they could even increase it at this point because they keep getting richer and richer people meaning if they had 50k requirement they would have still gotten some people. This results with them thinking maybe it is not a bad idea at all. This is just me though, maybe I am wrong, I do not know how much they get from these.
1237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin market, what to expect in this season on: April 17, 2022, 03:30:34 PM
The recent volatility of the cryptocurrency market and the hype surrounding its trends make many people feel that altcoins move too quickly. I feel this is quite normal considering that we should also look at the fact that the cryptocurrency market is still small compared to the traditional financial markets before it. Although in recent years, with changes and development, it is still a place for many people to take advantage or take advantage of the opportunity to make money, I see the problem in each person when knowledge as well as background If we don't have enough financial resources, it is always easy to make mistakes and receive losses with altcoins.
The thing is, when you are talking about altcoins there are levels to it, when you talk about top 20 that is different, when you are talking about something between 100th and 200th then we are talking about something else, when we are talking about 500th to 1000th then we talk about something else.

This is why we talk about volatility in different lengths and waves, bitcoin may not have a huge volatility, but some top 20 coins have big ones, some 100th to 200th level ones have much bigger for sure, some 500th to 1000th ones have like insane levels, be down 80% one day, be up 500% another day, hence why it matters. This is why volatility is different.
1238  Economy / Gambling / Re: Another New Rule On Gambling Adverts Ban Celebrities and Sports Stars on: April 17, 2022, 12:18:24 PM
I think its the influence of the celebrities that they are trying to lessen the effect. Kids will always learn gambling from peers no matter how we prevent that from happening, eventually they'd find their way to wager something but its still good to have such law. Fans do buy what the celebrities promote.
We often see fans doing what celebrities do regardless of whether it's good or bad.
Besides the curiosity factor, fans see it's something cool if they can follow their idols so we can see a lot of different cases of fans trying to follow their idols.
But kids who often see celebrities plastered on a lot of media or advertisements will get the influence and effect and if it's about gambling, they can ask their peers.
It can have a bad effect because their peers do not necessarily know what they want, so children need the help of their parents or older people.
I agree. If your peers are gambling then there will be a chance that you will gamble as well, especially when you are a kid, that is the sort of way you get into "bad" things. Not that gambling is bad, but when you are 13 years old, you shouldn't do that for sure, when you are 33, nobody will care. However, celebs actually promoting is still bad, it is worse than peers.

I mean when your parents tell you that gambling is bad, and it is your peers who do it, you could actually say "maybe my peers could be wrong", but when it is a celeb that does the same thing you could say "how would my parents know, this huge celeb does it! it must be right!" and that is the scary part.
1239  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 17, 2022, 05:26:37 AM
there is still a process for that but if you look at the experience that has happened it could be like City bought in 2008 Sheikh Mansour and PSG bought by Nasser Al-Khelaifi I think now Newcastle are just waiting for that time if they are their new owners now want it then it can happen.
Now they are the richest club with the encouragement of the new owners and with their money anything would be possible now.
But indeed it's not Instant need at least some time for that
I agree that Newcastle will be having some sort of process before they could become a big team, at least 2-3 seasons. But "big team" is a questionable thing in premier league. Like they could at least be in the European competition levels next season easily. Maybe not UCL because that is the first 4 teams, but they could work for europa, or at the very least conference if they could (don't even know if British teams go there).

So, I would say that they would be basically top 7 team next season and becoming a "relegating this season" levels to "going to Europe this year" in just 1.5 seasons is a big success enough. After that the sky is the limit for them. I still do not support the takeover though.
1240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 16, 2022, 08:10:18 PM
Juventus did loss the chances of chasing the since they lost at home to Inter Milan.
They didn't play too well against Cagliari but they eventually turned winner's, winning two one in the process.
They have to continue Winning if they must qualify for the top four next season.
A good game in the first half will make them win the second half, I hope Vlahovic score's.
I am not saying that it was impossible for Juventus to become third if they beat Inter, but it was never guaranteed neither. With the game lost it is obvious that they are fourth now, and will probably stay there but if they are good enough and deserve it, they could still be third as well beating Napoli to that spot.

Inter on the other hand looks like they could actually win the whole league. If they do the double this year, after winning the league last year, that is going to be three important cups in 2 years and that is going to mean something financially as well and they could build a team not only to dominate the league which they could, but also win something in Europe as well.
