1281  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What are the best coin in 2020? on: August 19, 2020, 07:14:03 AM
Bitcoin.

Absolutely! Bitcoin is the best, for so many years, i will still trust bitcoin above all.

It is not that bad to invest in other coins, you just need to look for an alternative coin where you can earn profit, just like DEX and ETH, while bitcoin is stable and has no movement in the market.

But when it comes to prioritizing your assets, focus on bitcoin because its potential to give you a huge amount of profit is there. Never waste the opportunity to own some, if you are looking for the best coin in 2020, 2021, 2022, and so on and so forth, then engage in bitcoin, and it should be followed by other potential altcoins.
1282  Economy / Economics / Re: Are people losing faith from centralized organizations? on: August 19, 2020, 06:44:26 AM
In my country many people withdraw their funds due to need money from this pandemic, not due to losing faith on centralized exchanges. Because they need to feed their family every day even though it's hard to find a job, and some people already got retrenchment.

Most of the people nowadays are having some trouble with their funds that's why they are pushed to their limit and their savings are getting withdrew out of their banks. This pandemic is unexpected and no one is prepared that this will hit humanity and affect the economy so hard. That's why people are keeping their money on their own instead of keeping it in their banks, so that it is much easier to manipulate and control.

Bitcoin still not get massive adoption yet due to volatility and high-risk investment.

We all know that, but this is the season where it could become more popular because during quarantine, we are into the use of social media and internet more. So probably, bitcoin will somehow become more popular and increase the people who are willing to engage to it.

The reason is clear, because all the centralized organizations are getting controlled by the governments and usually by some corrupted people they take advantage of the price manipulation and get famous and rich every day, also call themselves banks. Decentralized organization will help the privacy and in the other hand will help the security and economy by avoiding the price manipulation and abusing the governments and centralized traditional banks.

But as they collect taxes from us, government officials are not responsible in spending the money of its people. Most of them are corrupting our money and think of their own benefits only.

That's why during this pandemic, it is not guaranteed to let other people handle our money.
1283  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What has bitcoin done for you? on: August 19, 2020, 06:00:25 AM
It’s made my life, given me opportunities & a level of wealth I daren’t dream possible. I will never forget what bitcoin has done for me & will be forever grateful.

I do not regret engaging in cryptocurrency and focused on it because I learned a lot from it.

It is true that bitcoin can really change someone's life, especially if you are really into it. I focused on my bitcoin as an asset and it makes me grow more as an individual when it comes to investments.

If you have sometime to explore bitcoin and cryptocurrency then you must not waste your time. There are a lot of opportunities there, cryptocurrency is a complex thing and if you want to secure your future, invest to it once you understand how it works. I must say that it is really worth it and it made my life become less hassle, pleasant, and great.
1284  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Need advice/ sent a crypto to wrong address on Coinbase. on: August 18, 2020, 04:28:37 AM
Say goodbye to your money and never do the same mistake again.

Always double check the addresses so that you are certain about it and you will not experience this inconvenience.

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible so don't expect that they will send it back to you. Try to use another exchange where you are comfortable in using it to prevent these mistakes. Coinbase is not the only platform that you can use, Binance is there to help you out with trusted quality wallet that will help you in BTC transactions.
1285  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How good is TradeStation to buy and sell bitcoin? on: August 18, 2020, 03:55:21 AM
I've never heard about TradeStation but Coinbase has already some years in crypto market . You can go with coinbase but check their fees per transaction

As I visited their platform, you will see that they are determined to be in a mainstream just like the Coinbase, Binance, and etc.

It is considered as a safe exchange, so if you are willing to try their platform, seek more information and read reviews about it first. Don't just engage and invest in their platform, but still in contrast with Coinbase, i'd still prefer to use coinbase in a long run. It is tried and tested for so many years since 2012 but it takes a lot of time for Coinbase to become noticed.

So maybe, Tradestation needs a lot of more time to prove its efficiency as an exchange, let us observe its improvements so that it can be in lined with those who are in a mainstream exchange.
1286  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Someone booked a hotel using bitcoin on: August 18, 2020, 03:20:01 AM
Obviously we would pay for a hotel with bitcoin. We would pay for anything we can with bitcoin that is the point. I am really glad that an international hotel place is an embracing crypto. I hope many more follow.
What I hope for the most is when a token is used to pay for services and rooms within the hotel. Using its very own crypto. Then even users who do not stay at the hotel may buy the crypto as an investment and instead of cashing out they can use some of the investment for a nice hotel visit.

A bitcoin-minded person will really help our community to grow, because they will notice that bitcoin has a lot of benefits especially in digital transactions.

This is just a simple way of bitcoin adoption, did you heard about those leaders who are sending bitcoin as a gift?

That's a very wholesome news, we need more of this kind of support and adoption, bitcoin is not only about store of value, source of profit, but it can be also more on a tool for transactions. But it still depends on the country you are in, some don't really legalized crypto and some legalized it. We should not always keep bitcoin, but instead tell them that it does really exist.
1287  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you lost money on Bitcoin you either bought in the red or you didn't hodl on: August 18, 2020, 02:46:09 AM
Bitcoin gives money to those who have the bitcoin spirit and vision. Not many people bought during the deep of 2018 and 2019 and those who bought to hodl are now smiling. Is about passion for what you believe in.

Not all the time, some people who are determined to make a lot of transaction, sometimes they are the one who suffered the most. Patience and timing is always necessary and as soon as possible, don't always trade, don't always buy and sell if you are happy because it might affect your assets and decision making.

But still, it is about your prediction, it is about your critical thinking skills and good decision making that will make you successful.
1288  Other / Politics & Society / Re: social distancing ? covid on: August 17, 2020, 12:16:53 PM
You know, even in our country, it's just the same,

Even if we are facing the pandemic, most people don't care about it. They don't care for everyone and even in their family. Most people still continue to do unnecessary activities just to enjoy themselves because they are bored inside their homes.

People are not really scared of Covid-19, they are belittling this virus that's why they still have confidence to go outside and violate rules.

They are not the one who are experiencing it, but if they get the virus, they will blame the government. People and the government should work together to handle and eliminate this virus properly.

Discipline and patience is what we need, if we are scared and feared about the virus, we will not go outside and lessen the risk of getting the disease. We should strictly follow those safety protocols of wearing PPEs, social distancing, and staying at home. If we don't do that, there's no progress in the number of cases, it will constantly increase, so it is our call.

We should think about the damage and effect that it could bring in the economy and into our lives.
1289  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Getting scared is useful! on: August 17, 2020, 11:46:25 AM
Your fear should not eat your confidence in manipulating your coins because it might bring a negativities to your mindset.

Try to deal with that and become optimistic and confident. You should start with your privacy and security, after that, you should seek more information about how coins will make you grow.

Here in this forum, like what the OP have listed, you can visit and spend time reading some information there. That will help you to become aware about those scammers and how they more and work. In order to avoid that, there are wallets that are guaranteed to be safe and keep you out of scams. Just be patient and spend some time doing a lot of research because that will be your foundation in cryptocurrency industry.
1290  Other / Meta / Re: Is your Bitcointalk password strong enough? on: August 17, 2020, 05:21:06 AM
I will never used a random word that generated by that app. It will be very convenient to memorized or save it to a notepad for forum account purposes only. I typically using the standard password which minimum 10 characters with at least 1 number, capital letter and symbol. It will took too much time for a hacker to brute force that type password and no one will ever attempt to put some effort on hacking an active forum account. This strong password are suggested to those that has been offline for a long period of time because they are the common target of hackers.

But this password generator was very useful for exchange account password. I will definitely used it to mine. Thank you! Cheesy

Security should be one of our priority when making an account and it is not that hard to make a strong one.

I also used 10 characters because I'm confident and comfortable with that and I made a password that is easy to remember for myself.

I'm always active so it is less likely for a hacker to invade my account and privacy. This thread can really enlighten someone with the risks of getting hacked to prevent themselves to become a victim. Using this password generator is somehow effective and safe but as soon as possible, take care of your account.

I already tried it and I'm satisfied and confident.
1291  Economy / Economics / Re: Bangladesh Government Comparing Gaming with Gambling and Cryptocurrency on: August 17, 2020, 04:10:50 AM
What kind of fucktards are running this country who can't distinguish video game websites from gambling websites ??

It is not that hard to differentiate gambling websites from gaming websites.

The difference is that in gambling websites, they are risking their money to earn more and lose more money. While in video game websites, gamers just want to improve their quality of playing that's why they purchase extra features to enjoy the game better. That's a very different platforms, and hopefully, Bangladesh government will study more about it before making decisions like that.

Probably, they do lack of information about how cryptocurrency regulates, about how it works in the market.

Those of us who have credit, debit, prepaid cards originated in Bangladesh, we're basically fucked. Today I tried to buy a game from steam and saw my card isn't working.

That's a huge disadvantage for you and to your community, even the crypto community who are relying in the use of their assets.

Addressing their mistakes and ignorance should be enlighten by the community.
1292  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Germany Continues Shutting All Unlicensed Bitcoin ATMs on: August 17, 2020, 03:27:44 AM
Another wrong use of bitcoin adoption that can affect the whole bitcoin community.

This can worsen the bitcoin adoption and make it slower for us to achieve it. They have the opportunity to make more bitcoin ATMs and make it operate properly but the case is not like that. Germany just did their thing here, all of the crypto-related activities should be done legally so that there will be no problem with us using bitcoin.

The owner should comply with the papers, verify it and make it into a licensed bitcoin ATM so that they can have more customers.

Guidelines, rules, and regulations must be observed first and not all countries are given an opportunity to build a Bitcoin ATM, so as much as possible they should follow the laws to avoid struggles like this.
1293  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Clicking Google Ads can lead you to huge looses - Uniswap customers on: August 16, 2020, 01:03:04 PM
Google is not filtering ads that comes along the way, they automate approving of those ads and these scammers are good in using keywords to manipulate where the ads are coming, I ignore those ads coming from popular sites like Coinmarketcap because scammers are very active in the game of deception, they are good in cloning sites and they are good in marketing them.

Those aren't detected by google that's why they looks like a legit link, ads, or offer.

We all know that google is very popular and that's why scammers used it as a tool to fool people with their sketchy ads.

They are using some effective marketing strategy to attract people and lure them. They are using "EASY MONEY", "FREE GIVEAWAYS", "DOUBLE YOUR COINS", and etc., so be aware with that Google Ads. Huge losses in an assets are not a joke, it is not that easy to grow your assets so if you can be aware and observe the platforms that you are using. Avoid clicking any links from google or any sites, and avoid downloading suspicious softwares.
1294  Economy / Economics / Re: Lithuania President gifted crypto to Estonian President. on: August 16, 2020, 12:33:45 PM
If this connection really continues to affect more world leaders, bitcoin community will celebrate!

This is a unique gifts between two Presidents and what we need right now is adoption, and this is a sign for it.

I think their next step should be making transactions with the use of bitcoin, or making the economy grow with the use of cryptocurrencies. Hopefully, all of the presidents are knowledgeable about the benefits and importance of bitcoin in our economy and community. Still there are a lot of people who are thinking that bitcoin is a fraud, which is not.

Categories Of Betting Systems

- Positive Progression Betting: This is the most popular betting system purely because gamblers don’t need to have a big bankroll to start the casino game. With the positive progression betting technique, gamblers progressively increase their bets after each win and progressively decrease their bets with each loss.
The theory behind the positive progression betting technique is that you have the greatest opportunity to maximize your profits when you are experiencing a winning streak at the casino game. Additionally, if you are experiencing a losing streak, employing a positive progression betting method will help you to minimize your losses. Positive Progression Betting is a relatively harmless betting technique that offers the opportunity to strike it rich when you are enjoying a winning streak. Always remember that you are not guaranteed a winning streak and should not expect one when playing at the casino.

This Positive Progression Betting is somehow much better than Negative Progression betting. This only applicable if you're lucky on that day, because the momentum for you in winning a betting is there. If this is utilize properly in an actual game, this can really make you have a big winnings and minimize losses. This feels like you will just wait for a proper timing on when to bet with a huge amount and bet in a small amount, just like good decision making.

- Negative Progression Betting: This is a more risky betting system, purely because gamblers require a bigger bankroll at the beginning and a strong will to put this system into practice. With the negative progression betting technique, gamblers progressively increase their bets after each loss with a hopeful expectation of recovering their losses with a single winning bet. Gamblers also decrease their bets when they experience a win.
The theory behind the negative progression betting technique is that even though you have lost the last wager, you are destined to win in the near future. And when that win eventually comes, you would have covered up your losses and made a handsome profit in the process. As enticing as this strategy sounds, it is not suggested for gamblers as it may encourage a risky downward spiral in your casino experience.

All i can say about this betting system is that most of the time, it can multiply your losses. This is never effective, it will just recover your losses but it is guaranteed a loss every time people do this.
1296  Economy / Economics / Re: COVID19 VACCINE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH? on: August 16, 2020, 08:59:18 AM
If that happens and after we got injected with that vaccine, we really don't know its side effect.

Probably it can affect our daily living even our health, like what you've said, we need more time to test the effectiveness of the vaccine for Covid-19. If this vaccine was found not effective for a long run then it can worsen our situation in this Covid-19 pandemic. This can also increase our inconvenience when it comes to operating businesses again.
Economic recovery is possible if people cooperated with the government to lessen the rate of transmission of this disease.

It really do need more time before we come back to our normal living, soon, this Covid-19 will just become a normal disease just like AIDS, HIV, and etc.

1297  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Covid-19 and Bitcoin on: August 16, 2020, 08:28:49 AM
Coronavirus has made us stay home for months now, Bitcoin's price rised while most stocks crashed. Bitcoin's price rise probably has something to do with Coronavirus, People are staying home, buying things online to avoid contact with other people. My question is are more people being initiated to Bitcoin and are Bitcoins scams more frequent because of covid-19?

People are spending a lot of time in their houses and surfing the internet all night and day.

It is more likely that they are exploring where they can make profits while staying at home and probably some of them will learn how to engage with cryptocurrency.

With that, as business are not allowed to operate, this bitcoin will become profitable for them if they invested their time to it. Bitcoin's complexity is not always easy to understand that's why as soon as possible, as this quarantine can take more of our days and months, we should grab the opportunity to benefit from it.

Bitcoins scams do happen because scammers are intelligent and they know that people will engage more on digital currencies such as bitcoin. That's the downside of manipulating bitcoin as your asset, that's why we need to become aware about scams.
1298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker Gameplays and Strategies on: August 15, 2020, 04:27:30 PM
When you are interested in playing poker, first of all, you will spend your time reading and watching a lot of videos about for you to learn.

And once you have an idea about it, that's the time where you can ask those things that you don't understand in a poker game. You should build your own foundation and don't rely on us, because at the end of the day, you are the one who will control your strategies and do a good decision making in the game.

But as most of the people said, bad luck is your number one enemy and followed by greed.

Strategies should depend on you, and you need to deal with the actual game so that you how it actually works and played. If we give you some advice then you will not really understand it very well.
You need practice and experience in poker to make it helpful and profitable for you.

Practice having a poker face no matter what happens, don't let your opponent read your facial expression.
1299  Economy / Economics / Re: China is winning the Economy Wars on: August 15, 2020, 03:27:39 PM
China is always one step ahead of US and Europe.

Although China, US and Europe, have almost the same land mass, you can't deny that China have the most number of population around the world.

With that, their manpower when it comes to manufacturing is really strong that's why their production of goods and products are really massive compared to other country. Chinese labor is their masterpiece that's why their economy is stable and growing.

To my opinion reason for that is their mentality and very different culture, social and political system. It's not the one they should be especialy proud of but obviously it works. They have a very strict defined strategy they follow and they don't care much about human rights and freedom. No matter all the progress and economuc success I don't think this will end well.

When it comes to mentality or mindset, China really prioritize money above else. Being a business-minded person is normal to them, so it is more likely that China is certain to win this economic wars. Their approach towards businesses are really focused on their own success and growth, that's the reason why most of the countries do have a Chinatown.
1300  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to make old people understand Bitcoin? on: August 15, 2020, 02:56:31 PM
I'm looking for the easiest way to make old people understand Bitcoin more thoroughly. I want to let the elderly know about the "Bitcoin revolution", yet I find it quite challenging to explain it to them in a way they can understand how it all works.

If you happen to know of a way to make old people understand Bitcoin easily, please let me know. Any suggestions or recommendations will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Smiley

Old people are probably not that into the use new technologies and that's for sure.

If you want to introduce bitcoin with them, you should start with its relevance and importance to them.

It is not that easy to do that especially that bitcoin is so complex to understand and handle.

No matter how you work so hard to explain it to them, if you don't find the things that interests them and relate it to bitcoin, then it will probably not work. You should always focus on what makes them interested to something such as gambling, betting, and etc., and use it as a tool to catch their attention and become fascinated about bitcoin's importance, uses, and benefits.
