1401  Economy / Economics / Re: Bans on crypto now looks like a joke on: April 19, 2023, 12:53:17 PM
I can't see how the USA will become crypto friendly in the near future. Both China and the USA will remain hostile towards all cryptocurrencies, because they will keep pushing their CBDC projects(as we all know, CBDC are NOT cryptocurrencies).
Banning crypto is the same as banning drugs, alcohol, prostitution and gambling. It doesn't work. It only gives more space and more business to the criminals and mobsters. Having a good regulatory frame is way better than a total crypto ban, but the politicians and the bankers simply don't care about the crypto industry. They want money in their pockets. This is the only thing they care about.

They only look at the risk of crypto but they never acknowledge its benefits. Maybe they really see it as huge threat for their own projects that's why for now they try to eliminate it so people could think about adopt their creation.  We already see their action never actually works since even how tight they are in terms of not allowing bitcoin to circulate in their country their are still people in their country use this because they think its beneficial for them to use bitcoin for investment or other matters.
1402  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you favor betting on spesific sport? on: April 19, 2023, 11:18:56 AM
I am just curious to know why people favor one Sport over another, when it comes to betting? Is there specific Sport that increase your win chance or do you bet on those Sport for other reasons?

I know most people will favor certain Sport, because they know more about the players or the teams and information is power, when it comes to betting... but some Sport are 50/50 when it comes to the outcome of the match. (One lucky punch or kick can make a underdog a champion)

Please share your thoughts...  Tongue

Because the more you are familiar with the sports league you are watching the bigger the chance you can win on your bet placed on the team you like. Familiarization on the league is important especially if you watch the games everyday because you would provably know which team got the advantage to win on that particular game. Unlike other sports you didn't follow where the chances to win is so slim that's why majority pick those sports which caught more their interest.

Hello,

I am currently helping with an in-depth research project looking into the early days of Bitcoin (2008-2011).  The people involved and the interesting stories that happened to get us to where we are today.

Can anyone recommend any good sources of information or people who are experts to speak to?

Many thanks!

This is the best section or thread where you can ask that informations Wall of observer btc/usd

Also there are so many good guys really know about it and sharing their good insights about what they experience thru past years of trading bitcoin so maybe you can ask question by posting in this thread or try to reach out for people who share their knowledge about such things you want to ask.

Hello and thank you for clicking on this!

So, what I mean by the title is, how did you learn what everything means? What is good? The whole market in terms of coins and tokens, the technical information, how they work, the technology and competitors, etc.

I see so many coins yet If I read the whitepaper or try to dive into things I quickly find out I don't really know much. Yet I see many people who are very positive on certain coins as if they've understood everything within the project and also the competition and made a good logical decision.

My question is how do you get to that point? Anyone have a blueprint on what they did to acquire that knowledge to figure everything out? I'm willing to spend hours on end everyday learning but would greatly appreciate pointers on where to start and go to.

Thank you for any help it will be very much appreciated.  Smiley

Thru experience, we can learn a lot of things about everything we see because we experience those flaws and cool things about crypto. that's why you need to learn first the basic before diving in more crucial means of investment if we want to earn because it can help us out to navigate things what we need to consider. Also post from other people is good source of information because you can read up mixed experience which is important to learn from to.
1405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 18, 2023, 12:28:23 PM
The Warriors are the ones who will have to win a game in Sacramento in order to advance.

This is true, but if this series goes to game 7, even though the Warriors have played worse this season, I believe they will have an advantage in game 7 due to their past experience. It will be experience versus an inexperienced team in game 7, so I think the Kings will likely panic a bit.

That is a BIG IF, coz not only that they're playing terrible, but the Kings are also no joke from the regular season down to the post season. I even thought the Warriors could even the series 1-1 in game 2, but didn't happened. Here's another IF, If the Warriors loses 1 more game at their home court and they are officially done and the Kings could end the season at home in game 5. Worse case scenario, which will probably going to blow everyone's mind IF the Kings sweep the Warriors in round 1 lol.


Anything can happen as like how you describe the Kings. They are no joke, and they are really showing greatness in each game that they played.

If warriors will tie the series at home, then they still have it, I mean they can still turn this into their favor as experienced really play in this kind of situation, but if Kings will win a game at the road, the chance for Warriors to take the early vacation might happen.

Kings is really a well change team they are really a big threat offensively and they have reliable guys which really give a problem to warriors. If they can sweep warriors in this series then this is a strong message to other teams that they are the big threat to defeat as they demolish the defending champion.

Warriors became beast when playing at home and maybe in game 3 they might get a big challenge knowing that Warriors still relevant to chase up the record and still have a chance to defeat them. So for this they need to double their effort knowing they are playing on Warriors home.
1406  Economy / Gambling / Re: justbit.io asking me for KYC although their site explicitly states no KYC on: April 18, 2023, 10:33:34 AM
Any official information about they never ask for KYC from their user? I just have visited the site and try to read their terms and KYC policy. what I have found there.

See point 14, where they clearly said they reserve the right to ask for valid identification of a user under the KYC procedure for some cases. For asking KYC you can not say they are scams. Maybe they have found something suspicious.

When I first saw the complaint from OP with no evidence and proof of payment to profile wallet to back up his or her claims, I just had the thought maybe one of those regular paid  random guys to do a dirty job on the casino I guessed. 

It was obviously clear from the terms and conditions together with withdrawal policy that KYC was required and that they have every right to demand for KYC when the need arises but OP failed to read through all these before making deposit if truly it happened as claimed by OP that the casino is holding unto his or her funds and demanding for KYC.

but there are possibilities that they have a banner with big letters written that no KYC is required then at the bottom there is a small letter that states upon signing up this is mostly what I noticed on advertisements or promotions to attract new customers, others will say that no KYC but terms will apply so still there are KYC upon withdrawal but I don't see also any proof from OP so possibly dirty tactics from opposing casino to just give them a bad review or etc.

Maybe this is deceiving act by a casino to attract new casino. They claim that they don't require KYC on registration but later on they will say it they need it on withdrawal which is totally not good to see. Maybe this is what we need to notice on early part of their operation to avoid such shady actions by this kind of casino. I guess we need to be more careful choosing a casino to play so better play on the old reputable casino rather than risking our fund to new site which doesn't show any good deliver a quality service to their gamblers.
1407  Economy / Speculation / Re: Office halving argument on: April 17, 2023, 11:56:28 PM
By our calculation and agreement, bitcoin can sleep between $150k-350K by January 2025. Don't dull yourself, gather the money you can gather. Don't say I did not warn you for this lifetime investment.

Halvings can only account for bitcoin's supply, not necessarily the demand. Theoretically, even with literally zero remaining mining rewards, the price still wouldn't go that high if there wasn't a good amount of demand. So can you tell us how you made that calculation?

This is just their calculation where it doesn't have any strong proof that it might came. We also need to know that there's so many things need to consider since not every halving season bring good effect since maybe for the past it really is because the news bring hype to the people.

But the same as other hype news used it subside so maybe we should look at the realistic figure and don't over extend our expectation to avoid financial lose in believing on something hard to reach.
1408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: April 17, 2023, 09:52:37 PM
Gambling addict will not listen easily, they are drowning on their greed and they need proper assistance and medication, I'm talking about the worst case scenario of being addict in gambling. As much as possible, you have to help yourself if you are still in the early stage of addiction, it's not too late for you. These reminders are being posted here repeatedly and I'd hope that many are already aware about the possible risk of gambling and the threat of its addiction. If you can help someone who are into gambling, please do so because you can save his/her life by guiding them slowly but surely.

I very much agree with this.

The help these gambling addicts must come from themselves first. They have to help themself in order to be treated and to overcome their addiction. Acceptance is the first key in healing. If these gamblers won't be brave enough to admit that they are indeed suffering from addiction and needs help from the professionals and to the people around them, then they will not receive the necessary treatment for their case. But if they do otherwise, they will surpass this challenge from their life.

Gambling addiction is a serious matter that needs proper intervention. One must be willing to be treated and one must be cooperative. Being in denial won't get them anywhere. It will just make the situation much worse. So if you have the chance, give them the pros and cons of gambling, not just the benefits of it for them to be aware of what they might encounter in the long run.

Unfortunately, addiction is something that when you fall is very difficult to do and difficult to overcome, but there is nothing impossible, if a person has enough willpower, it is possible that they can achieve everything they want, already with something like an addiction, if psychologists are needed and when the problem is very advanced, a psychiatrist is necessary so that he can be helped by means of medicines, as far as I am concerned, everything lies in the personality of each person and the desire they have to overcome the addiction, help is there, the only thing left is to have the will.

People fall into addiction because maybe he didn't have support system giving him right advices on what to do or avoid on things he do that can possibly harm him. But if a perso fall into that situation his immediate family should step up and help those guy since its really hard to get out by yourselves if you are already in that condition. And a proper professional help is really needed to avoid such heavy implaction brought up by gambling addiction.
1409  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If I have $40,000 to invest in one #cryptocurrency. on: April 17, 2023, 11:58:10 AM
the list of cryptocurrencies OP mentioned all have great upside potential in the future, but I would advise you to hold more BTC than the alt part, and when the market really enters a new bull cycle, use That BTC to convert more alt to maximize return on investment, that's the way I still apply to this market.

However, to be honest, over time I almost just prefer to hold BTC more.

Not only with bitcoin but rather give big percentage on ETH and BNB to since this 2 coins are strong enough to get more higher chance to pump among other alts also together with bitcoin. If you focus on Bitcoin especially giving it almost majority of your balance then maybe you can only get few chunks of profit and maybe this is not worth waiting especially bull run sometimes not giving any hints on when this one will occur.
1410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take Part in Gambling Lotteries ? on: April 17, 2023, 10:52:35 AM
When it is free entry, then everyone will try their luck through these lottery games. These lottery have made big changes in the winners life. With sports betting and other gambling activities it is quite hard to make such big wins.
But it’s rare to see gambling sites offer free entry for lottery betting, if they will do that, maybe for just limited number of gamblers. Otherwise, the site will end up gaining no profits at all. However, lottery will definitely attract a lot of bettors especially for those who are dreaming of life changing rewards,.

Not good for a casino to offer free entry to anyone because they could receive a massive abuse due to this free thing offered. To many times that many people exploit free bonuses or spins given by a casino so they could encounter such issue with this plan. But if they could do that for limited time just for promotion well maybe this is good way to attract player but not sustainable in long term if something free is being offered.

There are still many take their chance to possibly win on casino so if a casino will offer this to their player maybe their existing gamblers would like to see this addition.
1411  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is SUI a SCAM project or LEGIT? on: April 15, 2023, 03:52:48 PM
SUI conducted a TestNet program which lasted for almost a year and eventually they refused to airdrop their community who spend time and efforts to ensure the success of their project. instead of airdropping their communities they lured some few members of their community to participate in their presales. so, what is your opinion on this.? Is SUI a SCAM project or LEGIT?

Don't expect anything on a platform to have a airdrop if they didn't give anything on that timespan then move on, its either they are not really paying or they don't ready yet to distribute the allocated budget intended for airdrop. Just try your luck on other testnet but also make sure you didn't spend any amount on any airdrop potential project to getting scam by those people who run a fake project in this space.

Just try more free airdrops to get more higher chance to spot a good project among those newly or old platform running.
1412  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: we don't have proper education on bitcoin. on: April 15, 2023, 12:24:06 PM
maybe in developed countries you could say it's normal if they don't pay too much attention to btc, right' because they are definitely busy with technology.

but in my opinion education about cryptocurrency we should find out because if we don't find out when will we get quality cryptocurrency education.

because for now there are very few schools that teach about crypto.
Cryptocurrency is for everyone but don't just invest or trade without knowing what you investing, you need knowledge about cryptocurrency, how to trade, know the risk and reward and others stuff, If you invest without knowing that you really lose such money, that's bad because you don't know how cryptocurrency works so before everyone enter in crypto world, make sure you research or you have knowledge.

Crypto is not for everyone since there are few people don't know how to handle their investments and they can't control their emotions that's why they create wrong decision which cause them a lot of money lose in their hands. For this type of people they need to avoid crypto since this is high risk investment if they think about this is an investment. But for people who can handle the pressure and stress then this might be good for them, they need to be more consistent to get more knowledge then became a more better trader or a investor.

Never and never ~XD

You are playing against more than 2,000 people in the twitter, never gonna to win that. Most of bitcointalk user are more prefer join any kind of giveaway, event or contest from Games & Round.

Less people, and only fighting against forum user not outside.

If there's a chance you can join on twitter and bitcointalk then do it. The more you join the more chances of winning so don't get bothered about those things since you will get the same chances of other who participate to. You may not get a chance to win if you didn't participate so best to take all the chances you get since it can provably give the best result on your participation of those existing and upcoming contest.
1414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are lotteries really a good way to engage with gamblers? on: April 14, 2023, 11:50:35 PM
My suggestion is when you want to announce the winner, it's better if you have a livestream during pick the winner. So anyone will know if the winner is picked randomly and not scripted due to lack of transparency.
Noted. Maybe we also should make a livestream for our Lambo lottery...

Till that moment it seems that the audience's appeal to lotteries is 50/50
It's also good to have other parties auditing the result of the lottery during live, with this the bettors can assure the fairness of the result.
I'm not into lottery but if I find this more interesting, then I think its worth to try. You just have to input every details and be clear with the terms and conditions so the bettor will not be confused and will not complain about the system of this site. Good luck on this project, looking forward for other updates.
This could be the best suggestion to have other parties working with the result, I’m sure other companies are into this kind of business with have a good trust rating. Live streaming the raffle draw might not be enough to lesses the trust issue if the bettor, if you are planning to do this for long term then start looking for this kind of services, having an auditor or someone in authority to witness every draw can be more trusted.
If the site would be only just focuses on lottery alone
then it would really hardly be able to survive this market.

That's bad for a business to focus on one particular game while your competitor have a lot of variety. So instead of focusing on one particular game much better to have more option to choose so that it can look appealing to their existing players and decide to stay and look for another game to play.

Lotteries are losing fame now maybe due to some results especially if its conducted by online platform but if the rewards is appealing then maybe many would try their luck.
1415  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: is it necessary to mix Bitcoin that you bought from an exchange? on: April 14, 2023, 09:54:54 PM
In the quest to remain anonymous and maintain privacy without a trace remain our utmost aim in the cryptocurrency industry, what do you think about coins that you bought from the exchange in this discussion our focus will be on a decentralized exchange.

Do you think it is a necessity to use a Bitcoin mixer to mix your bought Bitcoin before finally depositing them in your own wallet?
I don't see any reason why u have to use a Bitcoin mixer to mix the Bitcoin bought from an exchange. Although it all depends on why I bought the Bitcoin and my intentions. Some persons may buy Bitcoin to keep it for long and they may decide to mix it to make sure that no one has idea how much Bitcoin they have in there portfolio. Some investors may decide to accumulate large numbers of Bitcoin and they don't have anyone to have idea on the wallet they are storing them.

Maybe for AMLA reason for government not to trace out each transaction he made. Aside from that I also don't see any reason why do mixing since bitcoin bought on exchange is safe especially when we buy it using our own money. But its still his decision or preference to use mixers and nothing really wrong with this if he want to be more secure and untraceable to the eyes of people who want to search each transaction he do.
1416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 14, 2023, 12:54:52 PM
And it will be fitting that he is going to face his former team as a assistant coach under Steve Kerr. So he might have the advantage because he should know the rotation and their defensive movement.
I don't see the advantage here because if he just copies the system, I think the Warriors have the better advantage in terms of players' skills. Also, take note that the Warriors are the defending champions, yet they haven't gained respect due to their bad regular season record, especially their road record.

So, let's talk about the road game. Based on record, Sacramento should have the advantage. However, this is playoffs, and there is a different atmosphere for sure.
It's 0-0 so there's no advantage even if Brown was used to be the assistant coach. Maybe the Warriors have different system now, and if I'm not mistaken, he is the defensive coach of the Warriors back then so if there is something that he is familiar then it will be how the Warriors play defense. On the other hand, they have new set of players and maybe they got a new defensive coach that have negated what Brown used to employ in the Warriors.

But as you have said, the Warriors has a bad record in the road, could be a factor. However, this is going to be a series so there's a lot of momentum changes, last year they were down against the Boston Celtics but they overcome them and win the NBA trophy.
I believe Kerr would have new set of strategies and would use those new players as well just to make Mike Brown wouldn't know what set of plays and defense they'll gonna make. Yeah Kings has a good record and kudos to Brown for making it on playoffs but I think Warriors has the experience when it comes to this kind of atmosphere.

If he use the same old style small ball line up then maybe they might now succeed with this since many  teams are provably find ways to counter their strategy. So for sure they have other plans created so that they can best Kings which is doing really great this season.

Yex experience really matter with this knowing Playoffs have different level of pressure compare to regular series. This is why many choose GSW to win because they are so experience and well coordinated in playoffs and championship run.
1417  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: High gas fee for sending token is still a problem on: April 14, 2023, 11:15:08 AM
It is a problem if you are a poor person and you are transacting small amounts. You will feel that the fees are already close to what you are going to sell or maybe more than that sometimes, when the network is fully loaded. For the rich and whale users, they can disregard the surge in fees.
Even whales got hurt for the hight fees takenin their transaction since it could also hurt their profits knowing that they transaction crypto on daily basis for their investment matters.  And we see this problem exist when network clogged on ETH before where many got pissed of by fees together with transaction takes time before it landed to wallets.

At the moment we didn't see this surge since maybe the demand is not so really high since maybe many are still doubting to accumulate maybe due to bearish treat which is feared by some traders.
1418  Economy / Gambling / Re: justbit.io asking me for KYC although their site explicitly states no KYC on: April 13, 2023, 10:26:29 PM
I made a complaint on casino.guru. I also asked justbit to give me proof of any wrongdoing because they stated that they can ask for documents if they suspect anything. I didn't ask for any bonus, or had other accounts in the past on justbit. You guys have to understand that I do not play regularly and deposited just for that "No KYC" promise...
That promise is not guaranteed as for the security of the site they will not disclose their reason of doing that because your account is already suspicious. Most of the site can do this even if they claimed to be a KYC platform, this is why you have to read their terms and conditions all the time. If you can’t comply with their KYC then leaving that funds is your only choice and learn from this, if you can easily provide KYC much better.

Reason why we always check their TOS to determine if they will follow what words they say when they are claiming for something like that in future. KYC in crypto casino became normal thing so its really shady when a casino claim to be non KYC compliance since for sure a problem will exist the same like this in future. For now OP should submit all the documents ask since if that casino will not still process his request then this will be another scam casino exist which need to avoid.

The Premier League have confirmed clubs have voluntarily agreed to remove gambling sponsors from the front of their matchday shirts from the start of the 2025/26 season.

This is a move to try to reduce promotion of gambling in the premier league with it's increasing audience, do you think it can successfully reduce the number of people who gamble? What do you think? Will these gambling platforms not just move to other sports, do you think other sports that wear their sponsors name in England will adopt this new development in the premier league?


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/premier-league-clubs-to-remove-gambling-sponsors-from-front-of-shirts/ar-AA19Ogeu

Nope its not, people will gamble even if they would not see those adds on their shirts since as long as they can see a opportunity to place a bet on their favorite team and there's a platform exist where they can do that they continue to gamble. And besides there are so many ways gambling sites advertise so for sure they could reach up to more bigger audiences and can influence people to gamble especially when crucial games coming on the league.

I would guess that it depends on the market as well a bit, wouldn't it? I mean in the end if the market keeps growing bigger and bigger, if we see bitcoin at 40k, ethereum at 3k and all that type of stuff, then we could probably see BFG going up as well. So yeah, this one looks temporary and the listing and all that, but as long as the market keeps growing bigger and doing better then I would guess that it should be doing a lot better for BFG as well.

But just for having that is not sustainable since you cannot get any good result at the end knowing the price just been stretch due to current bitcoin pump happened. They need to release some good updates to catch up the interest of the holders to buy their token so that they can see a real organic growth happening to it. Maybe BFG holders doesn't like to see the current exchange where it listed so they need to grant want their investor want like being listed on other good alternative exchange if binance is not possible for now. If this happen where they can satisfy their holders maybe this could trigger up the demand to rise and this is good for them if this one will happen.
