The noticeable thing is the disappearance of the percentage of dark markets, which means that most users do not have sufficient experience to use dark web networks or more complex technologies.
If they are normal people and don't have shady activities and sources of income, coins, they don't have to consider using dark markets.

It's not because of technical complexity but also risk of using dark markets too. However, if the coin source is dark, dark markets can be their first consideration and bring their coins to the light without mixing is not priority.

Difficult to answer because we don't have those figures.

What we do know is that 2.7% of fiat GDP is involved in money laundering, whereas 0.24% of crypto transaction volume is illicit. So even when adjusted for volumes, fiat is over 10x "dirtier" than bitcoin.
The comparison presents a fact that cryptocurrency market is a favorite attacking target of governments and related parties. They want to shut it down or reduce its size so they tried to do as many attacks as possible. Even they have to distort facts to support their attacking attempts.

That is why having more options to deposit in a casino is a good thing in my opinion.   Not only they are giving the existing player more option but also there is a possibility of attracting new users from the community of the added cryptocurrency.  I also agree that it is annoying for a small time gambler to have his funds eaten by a larger transaction fee when withdrawing.  Having the suggested cryptocurrency is a huge savings for us.
The casino must consider lot of factors before adding a new cryptocurrency on their platform.

The security of that blockchain, decentralization or centralization of it, risk to see blockchain rollbacks or attacks, hacks and so on. Adding a new cryptocurrency is not difficult in deployment technically. However, considering about security and potential impacts on the platform, its treasury as well as users is more difficult.

Because after you add a new cryptocurrency, you must have its in treasury, hot wallet to proceed and make payouts for users when they request. Cheaper transaction fee then withdrawal fee are attractive for users but as blockchain users, they must know the basics and risk from altcoin blockchains as well.

There is nothing wrong with their strikers because during the match whether it Gakpo, Salah or Nunez cannot gets many opportunities to scoring goals and i think the most problem in this match is their midfielders which lack of creativities
In golden time of Salah, Mane and Firmino, the trio can self create opportunities. Their current trio have yet understood each other well enough and their connections are worse than the previous trio so that they are unable to self create enough chances. It is impacted by poor performance of Liverpool midfielders with limited contribution for their attacking.

Quote
first 15 minutes looks terrible for Liverpool that their defender has did too many mistakes and i have been notice Matip has performing poor in this match that he has make own goal and 3rd goals from Wolves is pure from perfect counter attack that Liverpool players aren't ready and lose to focus and this is indeed difficult situations from Liverpool that 3 times in a row lose from away matches makes their position down to 10th
The defense system is so poor performing in this season and are responsible for general bad result of Liverpool. However, it is not unfair if saying all bad results are from their defense. Midfield and attacking players are responsible for it too and in this season, they have problems in all areas, no exception for defense, midfield or attacking area.

I agree to this that casino will take time to develop their reputation and signature campaigns may not mean that they will gain a lot of gamblers visiting and playing at their site instantly.

However, with extensive signature promotions people will know about the site and may be curious to see what the site offers.
Signature campaign or any promotion must be big and long lasting enough to have effects for companies. Having one of two things (big and long lasting) is not enough and a good promotion campaign must have both.

Running a big promotion but only last 1 or 2 weeks is not helpful but running a long lasting campaign will be more helpful. Because people will be exposed more to the company and their products so that there will be bigger chance they visit and create their accounts to use services.

Quote
Secondly, the promotions do not mean that everyone who see the signature will deposit at the site.  Even if only a few people signup and play at the gambling sites after getting hundreds of ads impressions, we may consider it a good one.
About deposit, companies must run their promotion campaigns at the same time of kind of bonus, give away events. It will turn people from only be attractive, got excited to actually make deposits and experience the company service.
1346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 04, 2023, 10:48:33 AM
Roma have lost their last two games. First they lost to Napoli in the league, then they lost to Cremonese in the cup and were eliminated from the cup. Napoli is the leader and plays the best football. Therefore, it can be considered normal for Roma to lose that match. But the team they were eliminated in the cup was a very weak opponent. That must have demoralized them.
Only a defeat in Coppa Italia is a surprising result but I see that defeat is a good one for Roma. They will no longer have to overthink about unimportant matches. It helps them to focus on Serie A and Europa League only and by that concentration, they will have better chance to achieve a good position in Serie A top four or winning Europa League. They have never won Europa League and with Mourinho, they can think about that title.

Quote
Now they will play with Empoli to rise again in the league. They have won their last 6 matches, they are undefeated in the last 14 matches against Empoli. Today Empoli will look for a surprise. They will try to use Roma's low morale to their advantage. I'm not sure how successful they can be, maybe a draw would happen. I would definitely not bet on a Roma win for 1.29 odds in this match.
Empoli will have a very big task because Mourinho and Roma don't want to waste points in Serie A and get falling further behind some competitors in top four. I really think that Roma will get 3 points from Empoli and continue their race.
1347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: February 04, 2023, 10:40:55 AM
I don't think so. I understand you were putting MU is a bit weaker compared with barcelona. Barcelona itself was seeing la liga is far more important rather than europa league. Even laporta itself was feeling disappointed after barcelona goes to the europa league.
Manchester United are weaker than Barcelona but if they are weaker, it is a little bit only. Do you think Manchester City are weaker than Barcelona? They are stronger than both Barcelona and Manchester United.

If Manchester United can beat Manchester City in Manchester Derby, they can beat Barcelona in Europa League. We should know results are not come from math but by using this example, I want to say Manchester United have chance to beat Barcelona, just have chance. Beating Barcelona or not, we will only know after their two matches complete.

Quote
Im thinking about barcelona will always be playing with the main squad in any of competitions. Dembele was getting injury. Dembele will not be playing against MU.
I think that barcelona will not even thinking to use non main squad for the upcoming match in la liga. It's better for barcelona to keep 5 points gap rather than become even closer with madrid.
Maybe they don't have confidence that they can win with a B-team and they try to use their main squad anytime they can. It is difference between good and world-class clubs in their substitution player resource. Without good substitution players, a club can not be competitive enough in all matches and in all competitions during a very long season.

With all the strength possessed by Chelsea at this time, we can say Graham Potter will instruct all players to appear all out in order to get full points and be a worthy revenge for Fulham.
As you have said, Fulham are not a strong team in defense considering they have conceded 14 goals in away games so far.
They only bought some new players at very expensive cost but those players can not help them immediately because they just came to Stamford Bridge. Be realistic that those players can have better contributions for Chelsea after a few weeks but it is better for them after a long summer with months of training in Chelsea.

Initially they are players who are over valued and secondly they would have under perform because lack of adaption time in a new club and a new league. Chelsea don't actually become much stronger with those newcomers but with weakness and bad home-away form from Fullham, Chelsea will be able to win this match at their home stadium.
1349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: February 03, 2023, 11:06:35 AM
It is common knowledge that the two teams that will compete want to bring home the Champions League trophy. Let's see what Paris Saint Germain does to do that, yes they bring a lot of star players into the squad just to make them win this Champions League trophy. The task is not easy, even though they already have a star-studded squad they still have difficulty realizing what their dreams are. Let's see if they will be able to pull it off this season, or as usual end up empty-handed.
They are not lack of money, they have a lot of money but they have yet used it most efficiently. Buying too many attacking players and tried to use them in a very aggressive attacking squad but in defense, they did not have enough good players for those positions. So with lack of support for defense from attacking star players, their system is already weak in defense. With lack of world-class defensive players, the weakness becomes more serious which damages PSG power in general and reduce their chance in Champions League.

Many attacking star players can help a club have some big and nice wins but can not help a club to win trophies. Real Madrid and Galaticos 1.0 is an example of failure after Makelele was sold to Chelsea.
1350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: February 03, 2023, 10:56:37 AM
Yes, I know about the disallowed goal because Rudiger had fouled before scoring. But even though the difference in position is very large between these two teams, I had doubts that Real Madrid would have trouble scoring goals. However, all of that was answered when within 5 minutes of the second half they managed to score 2 quick goals and secure the victory at the same time.
There was a foul before that goal and caused it was rejected by the referee after taking VAR signal. However, the player made that foul is not Rudiger but Benzema who even got a yellow card with that situation.

In the match, Benzema missed one good key pass from Modric but he created two assists to Asensio and Vini Jr. as well as at least one key pass which was wasted by his team-mate too. The back heel of Benzema reminds me about a back heel from Guti to Benzema about 10 years ago.

1351  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum’s Shanghai upgrade is set for March 2023! Is this HODL or DUMP? on: February 02, 2023, 11:07:57 AM
Ethereum's upcoming upgrade, Shanghai, is said to happen on March 2023.
Did you see how Ethereum performed after the last upgrade The Merge?

I believe that Ethereum won't go ahead of Bitcoin and make its new all time high before Bitcoin can make its new all time high that is above $69,000. Ethereum as one of altcoins must follow Bitcoin in big bull runs and we will have to wait for Bitcoin bull run first.

Bitcoin won't make its new all time high before its next halving so let's be realistic about Ethereum performance after Shanghai upgrade.
1352  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Remains at Critical Level of Buyers And Sellers on: February 02, 2023, 10:58:52 AM
On the hourly chart, bitcoin/USDT is trading at an important level. There are high chances of a breakdown and it could touch the nearest support at $22,600 for this week. Conversely, the $24,000 level was a major selling area.
Please skip all of these and focus on a better thing with long term vision. Your life will be more easily if you buy and hold your bitcoin a few years like 4 to 8 years and if best 12 years. 12 years mean about 3 full cycles that are more than enough for you to enjoy very big bull runs after 3 big block reward halvings.

If you hold your bitcoins like 4 years, you can start in middle of a big bull run and exit at a middle of a bear market. If you hold it for 12 years, you will have no chance to exit in middle of bear market at lower price than your entry price.

Buy and hold means doing that with your own fund, not borrow money from anyone or from any exchange (in Margin, Leverage or Future trading).

So I will make this simple. I am a long time VIP member with over $500,000 in bets on duelbits .
Recently when I was playing  on their site they did something very close to scamming so I told them that I thought they where scamming there customer and was closing my account . Before I closed my account I had a small balance left and wanted ti withdrawal . As I did this it was not much just 10.46$ they said they were going to keep my money and demanded kyc. Now this s after I have bet over 10k a week fir the last year . They got angry I called them out and then decided to demand kyc knowing I am closing my account after I withdrawal this small 10$ withdrawal.
Why did you try to continue to bet with $10.46 when your account was under Duelbits investigation already?
How did you make the $10.46 to $10k?

Do you smell something fishy here, not offend you but sorry, I have to ask these questions. You changed from want to withdraw $10.46 to bet and make it to $10k and want to withdraw $10k. If Duelbits already investigated your account when you submit a withdrawal request for $10.46, they will do the same for $10k.

I believe they have solid reasons to investigate your account when it has only $10.46 not $10k after that.

Anyway, let's wait for their representative reply about your case here or in support ticket.

They have that as an objective from quite some time now,they are fighting many years to win the Champions League yet they are being eliminated year after year from a different team from another major league,like Spain and England most of the cases.
In quality, they are not worse than any big club in Europe from Spain, England, Italy or Germany but their weak defense is so harmful for their chance to take the trophy.

Quote
They sure have great quality players like having for me the best midfielder and attacker like Messi and Neymar and these names only are scary enough to scare any opponent yet in the Champions League it is not working.
A weakest area of PSG squad is their defensive system especially their defenders. They also need strong defensive midfielders who can reduce pressure and risk on defenders and goalkeeper.

Marquinhos is not good enough for an ambitious club like PSG. Sergio Ramos came but I can see he is no longer be able to cover defensive loopholes for Marquinhos. He himself made some serious mistakes too because of his old age.

The attacking trio contributes to their weak defense too as they mostly don't join defend when opponents do counter attack or attack against PSG.
1356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: February 01, 2023, 02:53:01 AM
Regarding long-term players, I think Erik ten Hag will do this in the summer transfer market, considering that today the winter transfer market has officially closed.
Buying players in winter transfer market is always more risky than in summer transfer market. Because after a winter transfer window, new players don't have weeks of training before playing first match for their clubs. With summer transfer window, after that, players will have many weeks for training and adaption in a new club before playing official matches for their clubs. Good performance in debut match is important to help new players have confidence and it can affect their later performance too.

Quote
Both manchester united and barcelona have shown epic performances this season and there is no doubt that the meeting between the two in the Europa League has been eagerly awaited by many football lovers around the world.
If either Manchester United or Barcelona win Europa League, they will have a good milestone in their rebuilding progress. It can be a solid foundation for their future in next few seasons.

I did not spend time to watch videos and read articles to verify what OP included but I won't be surprised if JP Morgan lied about Bitcoin and Ethereum but behind the scenes, they actually invested in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

As entities that aim at profit financially and from investment, they won't ignore assets that can help them become richer. Like influencers, they can have bad mouths and words about Bitcoin many years but later we knew they actually invested in Bitcoin far in the past too.

Don't trust them and do your own research about Bitcoin, have your own thinking and belief in Bitcoin. If you have your solid belief in Bitcoin, make your investment decision that should not be affected by banks, influencers.

Osimhen is pretty similar like drogba.
He is strong and having good agility. he is also a key for napoli to win the any matches in series a and UCL. I would be so glad if napoli can win UCL as well.
Osimhem is strong, speedy and very determinant with his shots like Drogba but he must train himself more and improve his finishing skills. If he can diversify his finishing skills, he will become a more dangerous player and more similar to Drogba at his best seasons.

Yes, I understand, but let's see AC Milan performance in the last few matches. Milan, IMO, has experienced a decline in performance in Serie-A. Actually, Milan is now able to focus for Serie-A, after failing in the Coppa Italia. UCL might be the last round for Milan if they are still in their current form (i think hard for Milan to win from Tottenham).
Perhaps AC Milan will try best in Champions League because with knock-out format, they can solve it match by match. They don't have to think too far in Champions League but Serie A is more important for them. They must spend best for Serie A because with a high competitiveness in top four race, chance for them to be out of top four is big.

Having a position in top four will help them in finance and in ability to keep their star players in the club as well as to attract new star players joining them in the summer.
1359  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: January 31, 2023, 03:08:04 AM
Unfortunately, Gattuso failed to become Valencia coach. He was reportedly fired by Valencia as of January 30, 2023. It was very hard for a Gattuso to become a coach, he didn't shine so much, since 2013, he could only give 1 Coppa Italia trophy to Napoli. Meanwhile, when he coached other clubs, including Valencia, he experienced difficulties. Valencia in bad position, they are only 1 point different from the team in the relegation zone. Despite being in 14th position at the moment, it looks like the Valencia board does not want this negative result to continue, and has decided to sign mutual agreement to terminate the contract with Gattuso.
Maybe Gattuso does not match with a coach position and I think I am wrong if I say he is not smart enough to be a coach. It can be or can not, I don't know but a personal trait of Gattuso is like Roy Kean and I think such traits are not good for coaches. They will have more troubles to control their ego and adapt to their bosses as well as players. Generally, failing to be a part of whole club is not a good factor to support their success in management.

However, it is still early for Gattuso to achieve something for his management career. Like Claudio Ranieri who had bad career before a successful season with Leicester City. One season and it is enough for him, everyone remembered how he brought Leicester City to one of most surprising trophy in Premier League history.

PSG are consistently underperforming.
Their main players have yet fully recovered and ready after World Cup 2022. Their under-performance is unacceptable because in theory, they have enough star players on bench to replace those key players a few weeks.

Quote
And if they perform like that, they will have to give up their hopes of winning Ligue 1 and the Champions League. They have dropped points in three of their last four matches. And their overall performance was very poor.
They wasted some chances to finalize the match and at the end they made another stupid mistake and Reims did not wasted that one to equalize the match in injury time.

You are right about PSG opportunity in Champions League. If they continue playing and under-performing like this, their opponent in Champions League, Bayern won't let PSG easily win and go next. To win Bayern in Champions League, they must play as best as they can but it is not what they are showing latest matches.

Quote
Bonding between players has become weaker. Despite having the best players like Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in attack, PSG team is facing a lot of problems to score goals. If the bonding between the players is not strong, I don't expect any better performance from PSG.
I think Mbappe shows some proactive corporations with his team-mates recent matches. He made more passes to his mates but accuracy and efficiency from his efforts are still not too good. Anyway, if it is what Mbappe actually want to do, he can improve it and if effect can be shown in matches with Bayern, it would be perfect for PSG.
