Don't get too crazy. Consider this a lucky win rather than some "strategy" that you have mastered. Because that kind of mentality always leads to huge losses in the future. Especially for the people who believe your "big wins".

That being said, congratulations to your on your lucky win and I hope it happens again!

Just remember to divide up your risks and gamble responsibly. That lucky feeling could betray you at any moment.

I know from experience, just like many people here. Grin

Bitcoin To Reach $1 Million In Next 90 Days? Ex-Coinbase CTO Bets His Net Worth
https://coingape.com/bitcoin-news-bitcoin-to-reach-1-million-in-next-90-days-ex-coinbase-cto-bets-his-net-worth/

What is he basing this off of?



As much as I love Bitcoin, its definitely not going to reach 1 million in just 90 days. Maybe in a few years, sure. But not in 90 days. Those kinds of volatile volumes are a thing of the past when Bitcoin was still in its baby shoes. This is just a publicity gag. They probably have already signed a secret contract...
 

Cmon now....

People can say whatever they like, but when pizza is purchased with Bitcoin, it tastes that much better  Grin

I think that if more pizza places would accept Bitcoin, they would see a nice way to market their business, seeing as pizza and Bitcoin have a sort of tradition among the community. In fact, I would even go as far as to say that any business that accepts Bitcoin would be favored over a business that does not. Simply out of respect and love for Bitcoin.

But I guess not many people see the marketing opportunity yet.
1524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs John Ryder - May 6th in Mexico on: March 17, 2023, 02:26:39 PM
Fighting on "Cinco De Mayo" has been a tradition now

Cinco de Mayo is May 5th. Not 6th. Tradition broken. Undecided


Not going to add a poll, OP?

Regardless, I would say that Canelo Alvarez is going to be the favorite here. Especially if you look at all the losses under John Ryders belt, 32 wins and 5 losses compared to Alvarez's 58 wins and only 2 losses. Although Alvarez has been showing weakness, especially against the opponents in his recent fights. His Dmitry Bivol match did not go so well and Canelo's hand surgery is making me feel a bit uneasy.

Still, John is the obvious underdog here and my money is not on him.

No regulations, no license, no KYC.... Is your casino decentralized, open source and autonomous? If not, then I would be very hesitant to deposit any money there. Not only does this scream "red flags" all around but even if you were not planning on something shady like stealing your users funds or scamming them out of money, what happens if it turns out that you are operating outside your governments laws? What happens if the law finds you and shuts you down? What happens to the funds?

Sorry, as much as I hate KYC, a casino with a license is more trustworthy to me.
1526  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Early bitcoin investment for my baby on: March 17, 2023, 03:08:05 AM
Few days back, I came across a post encouraging people to use the money well wishers gives to newly born babies and mothers as a gift  to invest in bitcoin for the baby,  then I was pregnant, just delivered 3rd of march. My baby and I has made up to $50 if converted just 10days after giving birth.  I am definitely going to use the money to invest in bitcoin this year for my baby so that in the next 18 years my baby will be proud of the decision I took for him.

Im so glad I discovered this platform this year, I believe I am going to achieve a lot from this forum

Below are lovely pictures of my cutie, my bundle of joy.🥰

I wish you all the best, both with your Bitcoin investment and your raising a child. Hopefully that little Bitcoin investment will become something that helps you and your baby in the future!

Be careful about who you trust with investment advice on this forum. There are a lot of good, honest, down-to-earth people here but there are also some bad apples. Although if you really wanted him to have a nice nest egg in the future, I would recommend investing more than 50 dollars.  Grin
1527  Economy / Reputation / Re: How wide reaching can the consequences of Chipmixer money laundering be? on: March 16, 2023, 11:28:52 PM
I think this puts to rest those conspiracy theories about Chipmixer being a honeypot operated by government agencies.

I doubt this will affect regular users but there is a possibility they could try to shut down this forum. There is already a similar precedent when Deep Dot Web was seized by the FBI. It would be an overreach for them to go this route but if they really wanted to shut down BitcoinTalk this would be their best opportunity. As far as I'm aware Chipmixer didn't advertise anywhere else besides this forum.

Oh yeah, there was such a rumor going around. I remember that!

But then again, the conspiracy theorists will just make up another conspiracy. For example, the newest conspiracy could be that the honey pot was discovered or they decided it was not viable anymore and it got shut down. And the entire seizure is just the FBI's excuse to make it look like it was never a honey pot.

Honestly, I did not really believe the first conspiracy theory so I am not going to believe any subsequent theories.

1528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The journey of successful business man who were professional gamblers on: March 16, 2023, 05:09:06 PM
There are some people who can dream and some others who dare to it. Many of those who can dream big but some times can't make it through traditional platforms. Today I will mention the names of some people who started their business life with the help of gambling money. Who were initially professional gamblers later became reputed businessman. Many of whom are now active philanthropists, supporting various charities. If responsible gambling can be practiced then luck can be expended. He can make himself known differently in a shortest possible of time.

Some professional gamblers and their business





Sheldon Adelson- The founder of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, The Venetian and The Palazzo in Las Vegas and Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

Kirk Kerkorian- He founded MGM Resorts International, the airline company and  Trans International.

Steve Wynn- He founded Wynn Resorts, Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Las Vegas.

Calvin Ayre- Founder of Bodog Entertainment.

Terry Benedict- Founder of BJB Properties.

Tony Bloom- Founder and owner of the Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club and.

Phil Ruffin- Treasure Island Hotel, a casino in Las Vegas and the Wichita Greyhound Park.

If one tries to change the destiny he may succeed or fail but he may get a result. But there are many people in the world who only dream inactively without taking any initiative.

But one should keep in mind that gambling is a risky platform. As there are lot of histories of victory, there will be defeats as well. Use gambling money as much as you can afford to lose.

Successful business men and professional gamblers have one important quality which can make them very successful:

They are not afraid of taking risks. And they are not afraid of losing money when taking those risks.

Sometimes it pays off big time. Obviously many of their businesses have failed and lost them very large amounts of money but every now and then they hit the jackpot and raise a business up from the ground-up whoch becomes extremely successful and profitable.

The average person who is not all that risk-loving will have achieved nothing. All out of fear of losing.
1529  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shiba Inu turns into privacy coin like Monero or ZCash? on: March 16, 2023, 04:44:55 PM
I doubt that Shiba Inu will ever be able to turn into a privacy coin like Monero or ZCash. Especially because Monero and Zcash are already better as they are and Shiba Inu is not really a coin but rather a ERC20 token. Which means it does not have its own blockchain, unlike Monero, for example. And as its on the Ethereum blockchain, it will never be an effective privacy token. Furthermore, I would stay away from any coin/token which is being held by Vitalik Buterin. He already sold part of his SHIB, showing everyone that he does not care about Shiba Inu, and recently he started selling tokens he does not consider "culturally or morally viable".

I am certain that its better to stay away.

Not sure what you would consider to be a "good job" but it took him 19 tries and he crashed into the drone in the end anyway. The fuel did absolutely nothing except contaminate thousands of fish.

1531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: March 16, 2023, 02:40:14 PM
In my opinion, I think referral bonuses are typically waste of one's time because of its processes that seems so impossible to claim and recently I came across a thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5437603.0 seeking for Casinos with paid referral bonuses and I tool out time to read most of the responses there and they all seem impossible to claim referral bonuses.
I wish to know if anyone has successfully claimed referral bonuses and how easy was the process and what Casino did you claim those bonuses

That entirely depends on who you mean. If you are a nobody with no fans, no followers and nobody who cares about the things you write on the internet, then you most likely will not make a lot of money with referrals. Sure, every now and then somebody might click on your referral link and earn you a few dollars but thats it, really.

If you are an Influencer with many fans you might get a better referral contract that the standard if you negotiate skillfully. And even if you get only the basic referral rewards, you will still find yourself earning a pretty penny.

It all comes down to how many people follow your socials.
1532  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What other ways are available for purchasing Bitcoin? on: March 16, 2023, 01:10:33 PM
Charles Hoskinson stated that cryptocurrency needs to cut ties with banks, how do you think this will work out? Because I use Fiat through Bank to purchase Bitcoin and other altcoins, is there any possible way that this can work out? What ways can someone buy Bitcoin without the help of Banks?

You can trade in Bitcoin for literally anything. A car, a house a sandwich. And of course you can trade Bitcoin for Fiat (paper money).

The only function of a cryptocurrency exchange is the escrow function. Even though Bitcoin is trust-less, unfortunately fiat is not. So whenever we trade our fiat for Bitcoin, we would rather use a centralized third party system than trust the individual to honor their trade. Which makes sense.

We need to figure out something else. Something more decentralized and disconnected from banks.

I am sure that we will find a solution.
1533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Serious topic, have these bookmakers ever robbed you? [Discussion] on: March 15, 2023, 07:00:32 PM
Guys I need experienced help from someone who has already bet on these bookies.

I'm curious about your experiences with them because I've heard a lot of negative comments about how they lock accounts, steal money, ask for a mountain of documents that are impossible to get and therefore you can't withdraw money from the account. I've read a lot of ugly comments about them, but I'm interested in who can honestly tell me with experience how you fared with those bookmakers?

They are in the list:
22 bet
megapari
uberlucky

I think in most cases when people complain about bookies cheating them somehow, whether by locking accounts, freezing their money or asking for KYC, its usually always the gambler who broke the rules and terms of the online casino. And they come here to complain about being treated "unfairly".

Letting off steam after losing money or getting caught with a VPN and obviously not providing KYC because their country is on the blacklist. Of course they will not get their winnings back. But I think they can demand all their bet money back.

To be fair, there are rare cases of casinos acting shady. Usually this is about casinos which are new or unknown. You can easily avoid this by only going to the top casinos which are mentioned on these boards.

1534  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tipping more than one person with Bitcoin possible? on: March 15, 2023, 04:33:28 PM
Is Bitcoin a good crypto for tipping business? Can you use Bitcoin to send to 10 workers under you? Is the gas going to be fair enough for 10$ each per person? Also, how can I send Bitcoin worth 10$ to ten different addresses at the same time? I've read about this before but it's about a altcoin that supports multi sending, not Bitcoin.

As somebody already mentioned, just use the Electrum wallet. You can also use the lightning network with it. If you use lightning, the transaction fees are so low that you do not have to worry about tipping transaction fees. Unless you are worried about 5 cents per transaction. But for most people, 5 cents is nothing.

Also, you can send your transactions in groups. Which means you can send Bitcoin to different addresses at the same time.

Tipping with Bitcoin on the lightning network is almost free. There is absolutely no reason why tippers would not want to use Bitcoin.

And unlike with paper money (fiat), you can retrace the transactions so everybody knows who gets how much tips and from whom. So its fair and transparent too.

A much better system than paper money tipping, if you ask me.
1535  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should I keep money in the bank or buy bitcoins? on: March 15, 2023, 04:21:12 PM
Keeping your money in the banks has two disadvantages. First, your money is always going down because fiat is being printed irresponsibly by your government. Second, your money is completely in the hands of someone else. In this case, in the hands of the bank. You may think that you will be protected by the government, should something happen to the bank, but the government can be the bad guy here, don't forget.

With Bitcoin you are in control of your money, nobody else. And it is deflationary. So no infinite printing, unlike with paper money(fiat).
1536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Street Gambling Risk on: March 15, 2023, 04:01:47 PM
Is street gambling safe?

Any kind of unregulated, unlicensed gambling is extremely risky and not worth it, in my own subjective opinion. If anything goes wrong you are out of luck and I think that nobody will be able to help you get your money back.

Same goes for any kind of unlicensed gambling. Even gambling with friends at home can easily go wrong.

Its better to use a casino because if something happens, not only are you protected by laws and regulations, you will also be able to prove many things (as long as you are online gambling).
1537  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trust in cryptocurrency? on: March 14, 2023, 11:21:35 PM
Recently, I've been wondering, and based on the people I live with, I'd say that only 20% of them know what cryptocurrency is.
Sometimes I ask my friend or colleague if he knows what Bitcoin is, and if they're young (20-35 years old), they say, "Yes, I've heard about it. But I don't know much about it."
If I'm talking to older people (40–60), mostly they don't know what it is.

We are living in a world of big changes in every aspect of life. But do you think it will be time when cryptocurrency will come into our lives and be normal for all people? Will people be able to trust crypto?

I'm wondering what your opinion is about this.

All this means is that crypto is still in its baby shoes and there is a lot of time and potential waiting for us ahead. This is why its important to keep hodling your crypto, especially Bitcoin.

It will take a while until we reach full global adoption and recognition of Bitcoin but I believe we will see it happen in the near future.

Obviously the older generations will not be happy about anything new and will probably not seek to adopt it. But good news! We have the younger generations growing up WITH Bitcoin and crypto! Grin

Only a matter of time until full adoption.
1538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A costly gambling mistake on: March 14, 2023, 03:32:43 PM
The most popular mistake that newbies make with online casinos is avoiding the rules and regulations, not all online casinos will put up a warning sign on their first page and say 👇

"New users are welcome, please read our rules and regulation before making your first deposits"

You have to look for the website FAQ and go through it first, I have seen some newbies that avoid doing this has they ended up shooting themselves in the foot.

Some even start spreading FUD on the forum about these gambling platforms that did them wrong, not knowing that they are the ones at fault, they are guilty because they don't read the rules and regulations.

Well, from an ethical standpoint, it would be better if a lot of these online gambling casinos put in a sign for newbies like that. It would be just as ethical as not writing a terms and conditions in tiny lettering.

While many of these complainers are just complaining about losing money after being caught breaking the rules, a large percentage of the complainers are actually just naive people who should have had the terms and conditions shown to their face with the warning that rule breakers would not get their money back.

I think if the casinos put up a warning like that, everyone would read the rules.

But that might not be the most profitable option, for the owners...
1539  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you still hunt for airdrops? on: March 14, 2023, 03:23:36 PM
You can still be scammed through project's official channels, as the actual project could be a scam in the end.

There is the additional risk of identity theft. Those who apply for airdrops do that at a high frequency, meaning they reveal personal information about themselves on various platforms and that could be sold or hacked and find its way to the dark web, this in turn could be used to make purchases in the person's name and result in huge debt.

Airdrops in my opinion are not worth the stress it takes to apply for them, and when you factor in the risk involved, I would advice to avoid.

Identity theft is a huge issue. Imagine if somebody you will never know or be able to find uses your identity to take out a loan for money? Really not a good position to be in, personally. Its scary to think that there are so many scammers offering fake airdrops for a fake project, just to gather identity information from those who are naive enough to provide KYC for an airdrop/bounty.

Identity theft ruins lives.
1540  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people stay poor? on: March 14, 2023, 02:18:15 PM
Becoming rich is a problem in two ways:

First, not everyone understands that making a lot of money demands a lot of hard work and ALL of your time. I have yet to see a person who became rich and earned all their money while having time for a family or playing videos games.

Its just not realistic, and most of us would never see such hard work as realistic. A lot of us would rather live our lives.

Another problem is that being rich is a mindset. There are those who have 20 million USD in the bank and consider themselves not rich, while there are people with 1 million who see themselves as rich.

There are billionaires who just can never get enough.

Its quite sad, really.
