They give you the $400 as a base amount and then another amount in reloads that are based on your recent wagering stats.. I got more or less $4 reloads for 28 days.  Wink

Can someone ask Eddie & Steve & Mikey ....if they can somehow post the weekend Discord link in the Telegram notification for the "Weekly" announcement. They put the Dlive link on there, so why can they not put the Discord link in there to? (Some people miss the post in the Dlive Chat in the beginning of the Stream)  Sad
Yes, a lot of chatters in the live chat were asking for discord but I guess they have a !discord commend to get the link. Not a bad idea to post the discord invite link via the weekly boost, actually a good idea!

As for the bonus, it's $200 for platinum 1 and double it each time for around platinum 5 and as Kakmakr said, there is a gameplay bonus attached with it each time and new reload amounts. The reload is basically based on your wager amount mainly while the gameplay bonus is nothing but some % of your total loss in reaching from the last VIP level to the current one. Now they have even adjusted weekly boost and offer extra bonus if you had a bad week so I like that change although most people were complaining they got smaller boost compared to previous weeks.
1322  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin drops to $8k on: May 28, 2022, 09:01:50 PM
Lets assume Guggenheim's Minerd speculation on bitcoin having an ultimate bottom of $8k if it hits $30k referencing the "[U.S. Federal Reserve] being restrictive.”, Currently bitcoin price is below $28k and from the look of things this speculation might and might not be accurate but what if bitcoin price falls to this very dip.

I am asking what will you sell to buy more bitcoin if this speculation ever happens or will you choose to  sell off all your bitcoin due to FUD.
If Bitcoin crashes down to $8k I would be a bit worried because it means that someone is controlling the market and has some massive pockets because crashing such a gigantic market needs an insane amount of funds.

Realistically, I don't think the price will come down as much and at least we would see it dropping down to $20k and then prepare for a bull run and we have seen in past bull runs can outperform any bear runs and corrections.

Let's be positive and hope for the best, no one wants BTC to go down to $8k unless you have a short position open in trading Wink.
1323  Economy / Speculation / Re: First In Bitcoin History (or did it ever happen?) on: May 28, 2022, 02:39:59 PM
nine candles in a row is the worst thing to happen to the bitcoin price right now but I hope there will be a change in the market next week and if we look at 1 hour time there are more green candles than red but this still shows the red candle seems to be stronger
It depends on whether you are a buyer or a seller, because the former do not mind that this trend continues so that they can accumulate even more BTC at the lowest possible price. The problem for the little man is that he doesn't have the extra money to invest in anything because he has fallen victim to inflation that has diminished the value of his money - and unfortunately Bitcoin hasn't helped him if he invested during the bull run hoping the price would reach at least $100k.

Change for the better next week? If you don't know about some super good news that isn't yet publicly known, don't hope for better than what we have now - it's much more likely to expect an even bigger drop, but it's a reality and you shouldn't make a tragedy out of it.
This is the thing about the candles and checking the charts. I agree that we do not have any information regarding what's going to happen, but many people forget that. Sure we have "some" understanding about what's going to happen, but that doesn't mean that it is 100% going to happen right now. This means that we are going to just live in a world where everything is uncertain and unknown.

However, the long term is fine because we believe that it is going to be a fine period and we are going to just buy as much as we can and focus on that as much as we can. That's not too bad neither because if the long term is up, whatever could happen meanwhile.
1324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Old Casino Keep Up Without Support Here In Bitcointalk Or Signature Campaign on: May 28, 2022, 01:25:01 PM
Can an old casino that's very active here in Bitcointalk, through support, forum advertising, and signature campaign, suddenly pull the plug and stop doing all these things can still keep and still maintain its position in the market.

A case study is Bitvest and 777Coin we know that Lightlord was sick and now he is well and comes back from time to time but not doing the same thing they're doing for many years.
You already gave out two examples and that is bitvest and 777coin so yes it is highly possible. Not only that two casinos but there's even more and they are bitsler, bitdice, wolfbet and windice. Some casinos pull the plug but after a very long time, they are once again spotted on the service section running a fresh signature campaign.

There are some that tries bounty campaigns this time. Maybe they think that sig camp are only focused on this forum but bounty campaigns have lots of coverage. After pulling the plug it is expected that the traffic from the casinos are also going to decrease, that is because no new visitors can see and visit their sites.

Are you owner this gambling site? Then why there are no any social media handler for this site as like twitter or telegram channel, i didn’t find in the site. You have to buy copper membership then make a new ANN thread because it seems very unprofessional. Even i see no respond in the support, lol.
My guess is he isn't the owner but he is just a player of this site because if he is the true owner, he will design this ann thread nicely and also he will post the necessary links. It is important because we will know the updates of the sites and by checking those links we will have an idea if the site is trusted or not. What he only post there is a telegram handle.

Not sure if which support you are talking to, that is not responding, but I assume it's the support in their main site. You can still try searching that telegram handle and you can ask some questions there directly. You can extend your patience, you know it's also normal for most gambling sites to have a support like that.

Hi at least 3-4 years.
Hope you enjoy the re-freshed product!

Steve.
Sportsbet.io
I just wanted to take a look and maybe wager on a few of them. I have to say it is a bit laggy, and the shape is a bit bad, like it has swiping right forever because there are tons of them, how about making it box by box and go down instead of up?

Like have 4 boxes on a list, then go down another 4 boxes and so forth instead of going right constantly for hundreds of races? That bad look plus the laggy situation made me go back to football, not that there are any left that matter, but I checked it out, then did my daily NBA one as well, that is just how it is to be fair. All in all I believe that horse situation doesn't look good enough to attract people.
1327  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tether (USDT) - Backed by Air and Words on: May 27, 2022, 09:34:22 PM
USDT will become the biggest scam in crypto history, bigger than XRP by 5-fold. The day of reckoning will arrive soon enough. Maybe a few more years before this speculative prophecy comes to fruition.
This is why i were leaving USDT for BUSD. I don't know why people are still using this non transparent stable token. Even UST that was being transparent can be destroyed easilly but in my opinion when people realized about the truth and massive sell will be happening like UST even USDT was not a algorithmic stable token. Last week i have seen the price of USDT was also dropping. This stable token was not viable anymore to be used for the daily interaction with the market.
The worst thing may come when public will know about the truth of USDT reserve
Last week's drop in USDT's price was due to the UST crash effect affecting USDT. The death of UST has been warned by many on twitter but very few people care about it, UST is an algorithmically stable coin unlike USDT is a stablecoin backed by USD. Therefore, they should not be compared with each other. I see USDT and BUSD are the same they don't have too much difference, if you find a better USDC or DAI than BUSD.
Algo and the Tether company based are different type of situations. In one of them it was basically the algo that kept it going on and when people figured out that it wasn't perfect and it went down and it wasn't designed properly, it crashed to hell and it will never recover.

The problem there is the fact that you are still giving money to the team so that they would keep it level, when they couldn't, it dropped and we learned that the algo was a miscalculation. Right now the similar thing could be said about Tether as well because that is based on a company and everyone trust the company to go on forever but the reality is that they could screw up as well.

By winning these contests you receive 0.50 mbtc in each table... it is very very easy for someone to play this amount in the meantime so it is not a real advantage that you can exploit.
it's probably a bug in the system but as mentioned I don't think it provides any kind of tangible advantage to the player who wins the contest nor any disadvantage compared to the other players participating
It is still "something", that should be the thing that you should focus on. I personally do not believe that people would ever complain about "free" money, just do what you normally do and in return you will be getting something in return and you will be profiting from it as well.

I know that it is not going to be something that would be beneficial for you in the sense that if you are gambling somewhere else, you wouldn't stop gambling there and start gambling here just because there is a small reward. However, if you are already gambling here then it could be a great thing that you could end up keep on gambling and be happy about the extra.

if you believe there is still a decline then leave funds to buy at the lowest price in your opinion, but buying now is a wise thing because you still get the best price from the bear market this week because next week I hope the green candle will start to dominate
You are right, because the price just decreased down to a level where people can buy and wait for the price to move higher before they can sell to make profit. I believe you will not miss this opportunity to invest because many people are very busy to invest more money on bitcoin because the price will soon change positive to allow people to make profit from their investment.
Correction! It's, where most people think they can now afford to buy but that was only on their head, what I mean is that a price decline can only be an illusion but the truth is that people can buy on any amounts because most of these people won't still buy a whole bitcoin but what are they buying are just sats or satoshis, and they are doing the act called sat stacking.

If what you are saying is true that lots of people are investing now then why the price are still on the same level? The price should be at 60k now for Jesus sake but maybe it was true that people are not buying now because they believe that more dumps are still going to occur.
1330  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Should I buy BTC or DCA other coins? on: May 26, 2022, 01:28:12 PM
Since prices are down, I am going to spend some money for shopping. Not a lot, just what I can spend.
Now the question is, should I buy BTC (currently I don't have any BTC) or should I do DCA for ETH, SOL or DOT?
Now the reason I am asking this question is I have some of ETH, SOL and DOT, and I still consider that my ETH and DOT average prices are little bit higher, so DCAing would be nice option. But then, given that the I am little concerned what might happen to SOL and DOT in this phase of the market. Anyway, thanks. 
I think that dca is for everything. I always saw a thread or a reply about dca'ing btc, maybe dca is really an effective way to make a profit? When you do dca, I think you are also doing an act of buying so this two can be pretty much the same. If you don't want to put your eggs at one basket then you are free to diversify it with other altcoins.

It's only strange that you prioritize altcoins over btc because you bought them first but didn't you know that altcoins are only following the movements of btc? That is why btc must be the priority of all crypto investors. But I can't do much anything about it because it has been done already and since you have altcoins, that should be enough but you can now focus more on btc.
1331  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tips for good trading on: May 26, 2022, 01:04:39 PM
and what needs to be emphasized is the greedy nature that always permeates every human being, therefore we must be able to control it
therefore, every trader should make a plan that they make from scratch. Don't be too greedy to get big profits in trading. The importance of experience in trading must of course be considered to minimize the risk of loss.

traders have to manage and limit the assets that we can trade. Many traders cannot control their emotions when they lose. and choose to put in too much which will shackle more money. the trader must know when he is satisfied with the profit as well as the loss he can bear.
We can copy an existing plan or strategy for others and we can just do a modification based on our own taste or preference but I think you are right that it's always better to create our original plan from scratch. This can make us a better trader than relying partially on the plan of others.

Being greedy is not right but I think being greedy is the only way to make loads of profits but that is if they are also lucky however if they made a profit, chances are is that they can still use all of this money to make more money because they are greedy anyway. This is where the importance of planning comes because when we have a plan, we will follow it and we will ignore our emotions if ever we lose or even when winning.
1332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Mantra After, while playing And Before You Gamble on: May 26, 2022, 11:48:06 AM
well maybe this is some kind of ritual which is nice enough to increase your suggestion but things like this don't really get lucky there.
I personally always say a few words but it's random like I will win and the like that builds confidence in myself but this is not used as a benchmark because it's just a habit
Yeah, we don't know either because we don't use her way.
It could be that he is used to saying such mantra so that if he doesn't read them, he will feel insecure about gambling.
If you are also used to saying words like that, you need to remember that gambling depends on luck and it's not an indicator always to be lucky and win.
So we will not expect too much after reading a mantra, we will always win.
You don't play the way the op plays and yet you can still be able to win in gambling, right? That only shows that gambling really is depending on luck and not because of any other things like mantra, however I remember that there are some practices like what the Chinese communities are doing, I think it's called feng sui which is said to attract luck though I don't really know if that is different from the mantra.

When you attract luck, maybe you can also increase your chances of winning in gambling? Not really sure though but maybe it's only a business because the Chinese are selling some artifacts in which you can use for the said ritual.
1333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Session That Lingers On Or Keep Staying On your Mind on: May 26, 2022, 10:55:35 AM
I think it is a sub-conscious thing your cerebral cortex does to process the experience. So, we humans are built to experience Anger and frustration and also to process and to absorb shock to our systems.

When you gamble your brain releases dopamine, the feel-good neurotransmitter that makes you feel excited. The brain will also process that feeling to analyze it, because your body are craving for more of that "feel-good" drug.  Roll Eyes

So we "re-play" the event to try are replicate the feeling that was associated with it, when we felt it the first time. (or whenever it happens)  Roll Eyes
Cool. This sounds like im on a science class Cheesy but anyway it is almost impossible to repeat the same act, that is why the best that we can do is to reminisce it on our heads. This is not bad as long as it does not interfere the important things on our life like eating, sleeping, and doing our jobs. I already know about the dopamine thing and gambling is one the activity that causes it, I think that is because there is a reward involved. We can double, triple our money in gambling. That is why we do our best to play the game and if we lose, we will try again.

Those type of sessions only happens to me when the sports or tournaments i'm following have their schedules aligned coincidentally and at the same time, I get greedy by betting on more than three games per day. That feeling of desperation when you're on a win or losing streak is one of the worst experiences as it can easily get out of hand if you suddenly give in. The tough part is to control that feeling over and over since there's a possibility that it happens again in your upcoming sessions.
For me I only feel desperate when I lose. It makes me won't stop until I finally revenge what did I lose on that day but you already know what will be the outcome. Yes, I mostly fail. Winning on the other hand is the one that makes me feel contented.
1334  Economy / Economics / Re: If inflation is rising, why isn't crypto more valuable now? on: May 26, 2022, 07:48:25 AM
Asking a general question on why crypto isn't rising amid the inflation on major fiat currencies hope you know most crypto are shit coin. It will be more better if you narrowed your sampling method on Bitcoin alone at least that way you can evaluate with good statistical proof how much Bitcoin has grown in the past 4 years.Not to mention how  Bitcoin grew from $1 to $68k in a space of 14 years. Gold and other valuables has been since time memorial with steady centralized price manipulation yet Bitcoin still stands above $30k. Diversified portfolio could be the only way to satisfy your quest
Majority of those that would ask such question are just those who are coming in newly into the market and are expecting to get rich quick. Someone who has been here for years and seen the price of bitcoin go from where it was back then to what it is now wouldn’t be here asking such a question.

I was here since 2014 and I saw how low the price of bitcoin was then and I always appreciate how far that it has gone, because even the today’s lowest of $20k price range is a big difference to what I saw then, and it did benefit a lot of us. It will still do in the future.
1335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Still Supporting And Playing On Newly Launch Casinos on: May 25, 2022, 08:20:07 AM
As long as they can find a good gambling place, they might be able to invest there but this is a new casino we don't know if they can last long or not. Maybe if the casino can last a long time, it will be our luck because we can find the right casino. But if not, then it is our fault for investing in a new casino. I suggest not investing in advance if it is a new casino as they still need to develop the system and maintain it and work to earn the trust of its users. After they can be stable and get a good reputation, we can try to invest with them but don't use a lot of money because it is very risky.
There are newly opened casinos and they are the ones that seeks for investors or partnerships, I think these are the ones that are very risky. For a new casino, they must not totally depend on the funds of other people but they should allocate most of their money to build a fully functional site. That must be the time that they can offer bankroll investment.

For us that is willing to invest on them, we can research first if they can be trusted and then maybe start only with tiny amounts. There are also new casinos but the owners or the team are not new at all, but they are already built an old casino. The reason why they created a new one is only for expansion. I think this one can be easily trusted.
1336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any changes experienced within body - Gambling??? on: May 25, 2022, 05:48:47 AM
We are the same, but I am not addicted to gambling, so I think it has no effect on me. I just noticed sometimes that spending money on gambling makes me fearful and also, if I was spending on something (not really important), my mind is always saying that this is cheaper than what I lost in gambling. This is really my attitude now and my wife also noticed it. Unlike before, I am really doubtful about spending any money on something not important. 
It's normal to experience a fear when gambling because we know that the chance to lose is high and maybe you deposit money that for you is already big enough. I can see that your attitude have also change and that only starts by the time you discovered and play gambling?

Well, if that is the case then you better stop gambling now even if you say that you are not addicted because you are still spending money even for some times. If you stop gambling, you will also start to value your money and won't spend it on unnecessary things even if they only cost cheap. It's only amazing that gambling cant only have an effect to our bodies but it can also affect our attitude.
1337  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you buying the dip? on: May 24, 2022, 09:10:56 AM
Every traders want to buy form the dip because the if you purchase form the dip you can make better profit. But for dip you may have to wait for long time which is a very difficult task as a trader. I think it is better to buy from a dip by analyzing as well as understanding. One thing is also known to everyone that buying dip is not a easy task.
Yes, it's essential for every traders to buy at the dip because when the price dips, it will usually followed by some pump and traders can then trade the coin immediately but for investors, it can be fine for them to buy even not in a dip because they can hodl the coin for a much longer time.

If you are waiting for a major dip then it's true that you will need to wait a little longer but if you are only after at a regular dip or a minor dip then that is going to be easy but nowadays, it's pretty easy for the market to dip. Traders are in favour now over the long term investors. Buying at the dip is not easy if you don't know what coins to choose or if you don't have any money at all.
1338  Economy / Speculation / Re: Between $24K and $27K on: May 23, 2022, 06:54:12 AM
Strongly agree. There's so many things happening in the world right now even with the pandemic slowly being controlled.
Economy will surely react to it as our governments spent too much money just to keep it under control. We are not even in the phase of recovery, we are paying the debts and this will last long.
I think this is also why we won't see a higher demand in the months to come. Prices of necessities are going high and small investors need money so they will withdrew their assets and a part of it is Bitcoin. I won't expect another big pump in the next months to come or even before the year ends.
I think that the situation is going back to normal. The pandemic is not tight as before. One of the proofs is, schools are slowly doing face to face classes but that's great if governments spends a lot of money for the sake of the public. It shows that they care too much for their people, not unlike to others out there who are selfish and corrupt.

People need money, now that prices of the goods are rising but it's only sad that the moment they do this, the price of most cryptos are still in dumped. These poor people can only get less money out of their crypto assets, but I guess that is better than nothing at all. People needs to budget tightly so that they won't touch their precious cryptos more often.
1339  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Does Luna( Terra) worth to invest? on: May 23, 2022, 05:09:44 AM
Luna is pumping up these days. Some people claim that Luna will be the next Solana. But some people claim that Luna doesn’t worth to invest because it’s overpriced. So, it will crash soon.
I have a question to ask. Does Luna worth to invest?
If this was asked before then yes terra luna was still worth it even if it's overpriced and I think few moments later luna has literally surpassed solana but shit have happened to luna last time. As of now, terra luna is not considered to be a worthy investment anymore and once again solana reclaimed its position.

People that said that terra luna is not worth it to invest can be said to be lucky and unlucky at the same time because like I said earlier, luna have pump dramatically last few months ago. I think the moment they saw that they are regretting too much but eventually they feel a relief and say that they are right with their predictions.
1340  Economy / Economics / Re: Using plants as a savings account on: May 22, 2022, 08:24:42 PM
This is actually not a bad idea. Too bad though, not a lot of people are willing to put in the effort for these type of things. Because let's face it, taking care of plants isn't easy and requires tons of time and work. It isn't something you can just decide on a whim without a plan. Not to mention the basic knowledge required to nurture plants since every plant is different form the other having different needs to survive let alone grow well. This is why I really respect farmers that has acres of lands filled with a wide variety of plants. These people are amazing and something that the world cannot afford to lose.
Not bad but it's a very good idea. We already saw one sample of the op on how much a plant can cost. Imagine if you grow the plant well? Not only that but if the inflation hikes more or if there is a shortage in food? (as what the OP said) Which is expected.

I think the demand for plants are also going to skyrocket so more money will be poured for you. For us guys we think it's hard or we think we are lazy to do this type of work but what about women? Our wives, girlfriends, sisters? We can recommend it to them but we are only the ones that will provide capital for them to get started. The profit will be made is of course will be shared to the both of you.
