It depends on the country. Once I had a presentation about banking culture in some post-soviet countries and from my research, I can say that they avoid deposit in bank accounts. The reason is that in some of these countries, back in 90s, a lot of people, the highest percentage of the population had deposit on banks account (there weren't commercial banks, banks belonged to the government). And one day, people lost deposits, government take it all, then happened inflation, currency was changed, etc. That's why majority of population don't trust to banks in some countries (younger population more likely trusts banks and makes deposits if they have).

Nowadays the world has to be sure that electricity problems for internet and the most demanding services are always ready for every challenge. But in any way, I don't want full digitalisation, digital is still a new thing for us and I think we are doing everything very quickly, we have to slow down a little bit but continue steady and focused growth in digital.

Btw if internet connectivity gets terminated, the world will stop and will be a chaos for a while like it was during the first months of Covid pandemic. Everything works online, a lot of people have money on banks account and imagine, one day you wake up and the world doesn't have money, it will cause brutal chaos. The chance that it will happen exist but actually it won't happen (the chance that sun will fall tomorrow exists but it won't happen, statistically everything has probability).

Personally, I think that the lowest price we can see in near future can be between 7K and 9K like it was when bitcoin went down from 20K and was playing between 3K and 5K. I even think that price will play between lows and highs like it was playing in 2017-2018 but maybe some facts can seriously affect it's price, for example: Paypal will fully implement crypto services in 2021, this should cause rise in price and we should see 40K again. But what if we beat covid in two years? Will it have affect on bitcoin's price and if yes, then what kind? Maybe it can even have negative affect? Who knows, nothing is excluded when we talk about bitcoin.

Please, write things shortly. All of your posts are very, very long and because of this I guess a higher percentage of people will just ignore it, it's good advice for you

So, on 24 November, you bet on De Jong and odd was 2.6 that's true. Odd was even 3.0 on almost every sportsbook, including crypto and fiat. Then, on 24 November, odd was really corrected and it becomes 1.3
It seems interesting to know what happened on other sportsbook? Did they do the same as FortuneJack? And at the moment they let this user to do everything (partial cashout) and lately understood that it was the error from a provider, in our case, from BetRadar.

This situation is a real dilemma.
1. When something wrong happens in live casinos, games are cancelled and there are cases when players get a good reward because of live supplier mistake.
2. I think that if your partner did something wrong, users shouldn't pay for it.
3. Let's take Amazon for example, they had the similar case when the price was extremely low on certain thing in their sales day but instead of refusing, they accept the payment and sent an item. Everything comes down to how ethical you are.

In reality, it's not a fault from the user's side, it's a fault from your odds provider and that's clear. Btw FJ doesn't want to fully pay but still offers some bonus for it, that's why this situation is dillema. Everything comes down to how ethical you are.

Btw people die not only from a heart attack when they win the jackpot but they die from the pleasure they get in the bedroom (especially elders).

That's very interesting subject. I am not doctor but I think the reason can be something like this: When Dopamine and other related hormones are released, you feel happy. When brain feel ups with dopamine, it hits the reward centre where human can experience the most intense pleasure. When too much dopamine is released, when you are on the peak, you can no longer breathe and then you die. Maybe, something like this happens here too because I know dopamine injections are used for those who have heart problems (it doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier).

Maybe 5% belongs to those who have no idea what they talk but are honest with their opinion. (Btw 95% has still no idea too but they talk for personal gains).

Btw OP, nothing can help you in this task, stick with your mind. You are the only one responsible for your winning/loses. If you want to follow someone, then there is a social trading platform called eToro. But I would say that trading isn't for everyone and trading isn't an area where you can just sit and calculate something by mathematical formulas, no, you have to constantly read the news, be always updated. And don't forget that luck is a major factor in trading too.

I don't know what those youtubers say, their aim is to make title and their speech more attractive for you to earn money views and generate more money from ads/sponsorship.
Seems actually you are looking for a ways to earn bitcoins without involving in trading, right?
1. You can store your coins on Binance, Nexo, Freebitco...
2. You can invest bitcoin in gambling websites like crypto-games, yolodice
3. Find airdrops for bitcoin holders.
4. Giveaway loans in bitcoin on our board

There are other similar ways but also keep in mind, not your keys - not your coins. Btw otherwise you can't earn crypto by only holding it. AND, don't take seriously everything that you hear from YouTubers. Some people claim in videos that they hack twitter accounts, but it's not real

The most curious and paradoxical for me is that people take care of businessmen and not themselves. They work to make tiny amount of people richer and still their aim in elections is to make life of businessmen better. And the main problem of our world is that in politics major people are businessmen by their spirit and not politicians (I don't mean pseudo politicians). Problem is in people, once we fix the problem in people, then we will have a good government. People live with hope, prey to god for better life while instead of wasting time in it, better to work. Has anyone seen any successful people spending most of their daytime in praying? Politicians cheat to people, lie to them but still, people live with hope that something good will happen on it's own.

I fully agree if Biden sets higher taxes on businesses to strengthen the US dollar and economics. Why it should happen from the pocket of average people? Better money be spent from those who have a serious surplus of it and not from poor people.

People can't exist without governments, slavery is in their blood, that's why they were always praying on different creatures from the very beginning. Only certain people change the world and have a spirit of this.

Pharma is a big business, I would say the biggest one. Why do I think so? Almost every available medicine is created in order to work as a bandaid instead of actually curing the disease. And if we talk about Pfizer as a great escape, then I want to remind everyone that Pfizer invented alprazolam and there is roughly 26 million prescription written in year in USA. This med makes you addicted in just two-three weeks. Also, they invented epilepsy meds that cause even awful dependence than anything else. Why? When you are addicted and feel bad without it, you'll pay last bucks to feel good. Without addiction, their meds wouldn't be sold so well.

Also, doctors hesitate to prescribe TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) for those who lacks test because they claim that despite the fact that there exist researches for 20-30 years, they don't know what will happen after 60 years. But... They give vaccination that was made in one year like a meal to everyone and aren't afraid about side effects. But... They close GYMs, swimming and other places where you boost your immune system and naturally fight the virus with success.

Eh... Business is business... After all, this is the world we created, we have to blame ourselves, higher percentage of people want to be slaves, it's deep in your bones, in blood. In a society where everyone is ugly, being beautiful is unacceptable.

Yeah, you are right but I think this is the moment when "Pros" don't outweigh cons. Personally, most of the times I have seen Bitcoin accepted on websites where they sell some for example, sarms, cbd, something that's in the grey area for purchase. So, idk if it's still beneficial for businesses use BitPay as their payment gateway provider, I believe they'll lose high percentage of their users, even BitPay will be left without significant users.

I see that it's becoming a trend for businesses to hold cryptocurrencies, that's why I hope they will move on BTCPay and exchange manually or with the partnership of other crypto service providers.

It was december 18th, 2017 when bitcoin hit 20K USD. Halving was in spring, 2016. We had the same situation this year, right? Halving happened during quarantine, bitcoin didn't fall and went high. As it was expected, bitcoin's price significantly rise in winter, as we reached 40K USD. I was hugely hoping that we would reach 50K and was holding my coins but decided to sell them at 32K (but still kept half). I don't have a hope that price will rise but there is still a good chance, we may hit 50K but after that, personally I wouldn't risk to hold coins.

If we have a look at previous statistics, then obviously this recent rise of bitcoin's price was just temporary and it's time to sell.

How can everything be in circulation? You just change old paper with new paper, that's all, it has nothing to do with the circulation. If we think about something like spend your money or it will expire, then it's a terrible idea because with that law, investors won't exist (you have to collect money before investing in something). And money exchanging very often the way you mention is terrible too, there was such thing in some post-soviet countries because of inflation and bad politics. From what I have heard, it didn't boost circulation, was just a terrible idea to make people's hard life even harder.

Do you know what you say now? Something like this: If I haven't seen cheetah then it doesn't exist.

I have been using blockchain from 2016 and have an account on this website but as I already mentioned, later I created another one. After some months, I wanted to log in into that second account: Password was correct, was receiving verification on email and even verification was approved when I was clicking it but somehow I was still unable to log in (cookies/cache has nothing to do here, I am not a newbie). Seems it was a very strange technical error on my account and if I am not wrong, one guy had the same problem here years ago. After that accident, I personally don't give a recommendation to their wallet and services (First of all, customer support experience was terrible, very, very late replies and blatant answers).

Are you really sure that in 10 years we will become cashless? In certain countries, maybe - yes but not everywhere. Cash is still preferred money for some people because they have full control on it. You can't control your banking account because they can lock it anytime they wish if there is something wrong. In overall, not your keys - not your coins applies to those who own bank account and cards, not your cash - not your money. Crypto is a great deal in digital world when it comes to money but I think that both, cash and crypto has so unique pros and cons that it's hard to say (for me) the actual winner here for our welfare.

Nothing can fix this kind of problems and to be fair, these restrictions does more harm than good. People always do what you want, so none restriction can fully prevent it. What do you think, are most part of people seriously staying at home? People still workout secretly, still offer some services secretly, people still do things that they were doing before secretly. But if we return to the subject of this topic, it's hard for me to believe that people go in underground casinos because nowadays online gambling is highly developed and popular too, there is done everything for customers comfort.

I think that that news caused this fall, otherwise we hit 40K and psychologically, expectation and aim for people was to hit 50K, it was hard to believe for me to imagine so high fall.But this news played it's role despite the fact that double-spend didn't happen. Once the panic selling started, it wouldn't stop even after revealing the truth because of psychological factors again. The same thing happened back in 2016 when one exchange suddenly stopped withdraw for two days.

On market, the higher percentage of people are those who don't actually read the news but there are the ones, who really read, so, imagine: Those who read news started selling that caused price fall and those who don't read news, followed their action. When price significantly went down, more and more people started to sell and it become impossible to quickly return the process back to normal.

1. Please can you explain what does the following proposal means? ->who cannot qualify for a bank account
What does it take to qualify for a bank account? From personal experience, I can say that all they are looking for is to make their cards cheap and attractive for you or in the worst case, you have to pay some insignificant bucks, you won't even notice how tiny amounts you have to pay unless you are using visa gold and similar ones.

2. I think the easiest way for them can be western union and similar companies. I don't use money transfer services in overall but still, without doubt, they are the most popular ones for immigrants, at least that' what I see. Money transfer companies are extremely profitable in my area. I think buying/sending bitcoin and withdrawing of it via different methods can be far better and comfortable but mostly, poor people are far from bitcoin and technologies, that's sad.

3. Bitcoin can't help Africa, we have to change our behaviours. We don't have to build our happiness on the cost of their livings and yeah, I mean things that we get in normal price because in Africa people are working day and night to just survive. Military dictatorships and corruption is another problem. In overall, there is a problem in US.

You still have time to think twice before making a final decision. You are 16, when you turn 17, you'll understand that you are absolutely better than you were 1 year ago, same will happen when you turn 18 and during this timeframe, your visions may change.

I don't know where you live and what's the university you want to enter but consider that in 90% cases, you'll see two type of lecturers: 1. Who doesn't know anything about bitcoin and 2nd - Who will claim that this is the coin that's used in darknet, to fund terrorist, etc. But prove to them that you know more and they are wrong in this case!

Btw for ideas: Blockchain technologies can be implemented in many things and they can be extremely beneficial (for example land title registry).

Okay, good )) I just thought that including "Exclusive" games under casino's section would be a better choice and easier to find from header menu. Btw since you are going to implement more and more amazing features, is bitdice going to update their financial analysis on a medium channel? I think it will be very interesting if we have the analysis after the end of 2021 to see how things have changed from 2019-2020 to 2021 (I took 2021 since you plan to implement new features and you already redesigned the whole website).
On another hand, good luck, it's a good website and feels sad when I see low activity here.

Just want to state my opinion about the things that are happening around this signature campaign.

First of all, highest percentage of Chipmixer's signature participants are very good persons who really take care of this forum, do a lot of things to make the user experience better (Loycev's tools), they try to make this forum free from scammers. There are a lot of good things that they do.

But at the same time I see that as bitcoin's price went higher, if we calculate, they get a lot of money in USD (if we convert bitcoins). A lot of users here are envious. They don't like it when they get some bucks by spamming and hate when others earn more money, even if they put a lot of work in it.

As I see, a lot of users posts things like these: Bitcoin is number one currency, bitcoin over USD, bitcoin's value shouldn't be calculated in USD, etc. But their behaviours show a different opinion. It's clear that for people Bitcoin is a shadow of USD and not really Bitcoin.
