161  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will EOS fly to the moon like BNB soon?! on: April 23, 2019, 12:15:45 PM
Eos needs to get that dapp world a lot more in the near future for that to happen. BNB is working towards creating a binance chain that will get ethereums ICO world however they have done it via getting help from their binance exchange but eos has nothing with that power to make any changes and since they do not have that power they need to find a center that eos will be around. BNB has binance exchange, what does eos have ?

Dapps and right now biggest is the eosbet which gives out BET tokens instead of EOS and at least give out EOS in dividends, if they create more stuff like eosbet and have bunch of websites that give eos some utility than they will for sure skyrocket as well.

Trading and investing are two different things. If you are trading a coin (as in buy when its low and sell when its high) than there is nothing stopping you from buying bad coins neither, you do not believe in the project yourself too but somehow you think it will go up and that is why you invest in that.

For example, during the early ICO boom there was a lot of coins that didn't worth anything but people did put their money in them because they believed it would go up, that is why even today those people are saying how bad ICO is because they lose money in getting those bad coins. However if you are investing than that is a long term thing and than you have to find good coins that you trust yourself as well and than you can't just put your money into anything, you have to find the good ones.
163  Economy / Economics / Re: Will the next economic collapse trigger massive crypto adoption? on: April 21, 2019, 06:01:49 PM
I think it all depends on us getting ready for something like that. They say luck is preparation meeting opportunity, when the next collapse happens (there is always one for sure) and we are not ready than the crypto adoption could probably stay around the same or maybe we will attract couple more smart people to the cause and that's it.

Nonetheless, if we get ready and find easier ways for adoption like debit cards getting more famous or mobile phone app payments and all that than we can totally get a huge number of people into bitcoin world, all it takes is us getting ready for it before the collapse happens, 2008 was a big one, we had a mediocre crisis in 2018 as well, nothing too small but not as big as 2008 and it didn't really affected, so we gotta get ready much better for the next time.
164  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do you see cryptocurrency 10 years from now? on: April 21, 2019, 03:07:55 PM
Yeah, considering fiat to go away is not really that smart, we are not ready to get rid of it right now and we probably won't be ready in 10 years neither. Fiat is doomed to fail for sure because in reality there is way too much debt and way little possessions to keep it up but crypto is not like that, you either have it or not and that is the end of that.

We need much more time than 10 years to actually get rid of all fiat system we have right now but for the next 10 years I think the "coexisting" is the right word, we will get bitcoin higher and higher both in price and adoption but we will also keep using fiat for things that bitcoin hasn't reached yet (like taxi fare in most countries). If we can manage that for a while it will give bitcoin enough time to cover all exchange.
165  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New casino vs old and trusted one on: April 21, 2019, 01:13:23 PM
I think the old and trusted casino that had a revamp is the best option from these. I mean after all it will still be old and trusted but not old and unejoyable neither. New games are always fun and I love playing on new casinos but I know how much I am spending on gambling so even if I lose them while gambling or lose them because of shady business moves by the new casino I am fine, I knew I risked that money anyway so I will just write a bad review for them here and move on.

Nonetheless, when an old and trusted one gets a new design and gets new games etc etc they became both a new casino for playing but at the same time they are that trusted website we all loved as well. That is why all casinos are trying to keep updating and improving not to become old and unenjoyable.
166  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casino Faucet on: April 21, 2019, 09:10:35 AM
Almost all gambling sites provide fairly large faucet prizes. However, the prize will be useless because the gambling site results from the faucet will not be able to take if we do not make a deposit first. This rule is annoying but it is good for the gambling site ecosystem so that gambling activities on the site are always active.
Casino faucets even if they are low very important in getting customers.

The faucet is the place you try first and if you like it than you deposit, places without faucet do not have that option and you have to blindly trust the place and go play there without really knowing if you can trust them or not or even if you will enjoy the game or not.

Faucet is not a thing that you can make money from, they are not designed to get you rich somehow, they are designed to get you check out the games and see if you will like them or not and that is why they are low and they should be low. I think any place not offering even a small amount is destined to have a miserable marketing effort since even a small faucet can get you more customers than any marketing you could potentially do.
167  Economy / Gambling / Re: Block&Chain Game Studios - Blockfight| Play with ETH, Halo, BTC Soon|MOBILE APP! on: April 21, 2019, 08:23:28 AM
This turning into mobile app as well is a big breakthrough in blockchain gaming, maybe there are others but I have never heard of crypto currency used in any mobile game before. That means right now people are playing a game where cryptocurrency is the in game currency and it can be reached by billions of people all around the world, that is not something you can just say "yeah cool" and move on, that is like a new barrier of gaming that didn't exist before these guys came along.

I wanted to ask if there would be a free trial of sorts ? I mean the game looks great but there is no way you can play it for free, maybe a limited way where people could play a part of it while not spending but would require spending for the whole game? Limiting the users with only payers doesn't seem like a good marketing.
168  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Binance Chain a treat to Ethereum? on: April 21, 2019, 07:46:08 AM
If this keeps up than it could totally take its place, I mean ethereum has been very silent for the past year, last year they were getting more and more attention with the ICO craze however for the past year they have managed to not make any moves at all that would keep them above and they are even losing attention at dapp corner as well. They have plenty of rivals that will make it hard for ethereum to get more people use their blockchain.

EOS and tron and some others are really coming up with a lot of stuff for dapp side of the world and now Binance is destroying their hope of ICO world with its binance chain and IEO ways of putting new coins into the world and they are getting sold at like 10 seconds as well. That is why I think ethereum is in trouble and needs to do something about it.
169  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where does all the tokens mistakenly sent to wrong wallets go? on: April 20, 2019, 06:42:00 PM
Depends on what you mean by mistake really. If you mean a different address than what you wanted to send than the owner of that address gets the money and its gone, this is not bank movements where you can retract back your movements and ask for it back because it was a mistake, this is bitcoin and what you send is already gone to that persons wallet and can't be retracted back to your wallet.

However, if you mean sending money with wrong bitcoin transaction fee (like people who send 0.1 and use 1000 bitcoin transaction fee instead of send 1000 and 0.1 transaction fee) than it goes to the miners who recoup that as profit for solving that block, not equally because whoever solves that block gets that money and that is the end of that. Both of these happened frequently in the lifespan of bitcoin and I know its a problem we have but considering what it brings to the table its lesser problem than the solution it brings.
170  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sweden on track to stop using cash by 2023 on: April 20, 2019, 05:42:15 PM
Sweden is not stopping using cash because of crypto currency alone, if you read the article they have plenty of other stuff they rely on as well and honestly that is about the same in many countries as well.

Think of your own country, I don't care where you are from but wherever you are from and specially if its a first world country I am pretty sure that you are already paying for most things in either debit cards or credit cards as it is, all big movements like home purchases or car purchases already happen from one account to another. It means there is already very small few things that we pay in cash already and that is why moving to completely cashless society wouldn't be a huge challenge. Maybe Sweden will be the first one but I am sure everyone eventually will follow them.
171  Economy / Speculation / Re: Paypal Board Member: Bitcoin May Grow 250x on: April 19, 2019, 03:31:41 PM
We don't really know if this person wise enough to actually make those claims (seriously one million dollars?) or he is just doing a wishful thinking. Some people believe in something because it would help them out a lot and than whenever they are given the chance they just say that their hopes will happen sooner or later and that is their way of putting their dreams out there in the world. This could totally be something like that.

We all know he is investing heavily into bitcoin anyway so one bitcoin equals one million dollars would mean the worlds to him and he would make more money than he ever did (which says something since he is a rich person anyway) if bitcoin went to one million dollars one day. This feels more like his dreams when he lays at night instead of actual prediction.
172  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Real Estate boost the Crypto World? on: April 18, 2019, 01:45:05 PM
I believe that our main goal as crypto believers is to bring everything to the blockchain so that we can experience mass adoption and this adoption will definitely cause an increase in the price of the coin giving us wealth that we never thought of having in the nearest future, once we can take real estate to the blockchain, then I think it will create more awareness about the crypto space and also give investors more confidence to participate in developing the blockchain.

Adopting blockchain technology for real estate business will bring win-win situation for both crypos and for real estate business too. Blockchain technology will lead to efficiency whereas both the sectors will introduce new customers to opposite sector.
173  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IEO on: April 18, 2019, 06:04:43 AM
Do you believe in IEOs nowadays more than ICOs back in 2017 ?
Well I believe in IEO more than I believed in ICO back then in 2018 (yes, 2017 was a good year for ICOs) because IEO market is more trusted since it is run by popular exchanges that have made name and built integrity for themselves and wouldn't want to loss that because of a scam IEO that cannot give them what they will make on a normal day, the only ways scammer can come into the IEO space is by creating an exchange with lot of promises and then making away with investors money after getting it.

ICO 2017 has not had as many scammers this year so ICO used to be very successful and it is now a trend that is the sale of IEO on several exchanges, but that does not guarantee it will be more successful at the 2017 ICO.
I guess IEO may beat ICO success rate in 2017. Considering the growing user base of crypto space in 2019 (against 2017) and strict procedures of exchanges for choosing a right one for their launcpad, I believe more people may start contributing into IEO than the past years how they did.
174  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: KYC Requirement for Bounty Managers before they require KYC to bounty hunters. on: April 18, 2019, 12:45:47 AM
I feel like it's not fair for bounty hunters to submit KYC when joining bounty campaigns because we are not an investor. We will never be involved with any anti money laundering because we don't invest with money but with TIME and Effort instead. Personally I'm NOT very comfortable submitting my ID's for the simple reason that these are startup companies and we don't even know if they can be trusted.
I don't even see any reason whatsoever why investors will be asked to carry out KYC process when participating in an ICO, the worst part of it is that this ICO companies after collecting your information turns out to be shitcoin and then you never know what next they do with your information. I don't participate in projects that ask me for KYC when I am not making use of fiat as a means of payment, I see it as unnecessary and against what the blockchain was built for, this is why we have to be very careful with so many claimed to be ICO projects.

I do not like your idea of KYC for bounty managers. You need to remember that our managers are just part of this community like you and myself and the decision of requirement of KYC is being made from the dev/owners of ICO and NOT by managers as far as I have experienced.
175  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casino Affiliate Programs on: April 17, 2019, 06:08:13 PM
I always do notice that many people try to point out the fact there if you look at the stats at freebitcoin and check out who has the most affiliate income you will see there are a lot of people with thousands of affiliates however there is this one dude who had 2 affiliates all his life and made more than everyone else except couple others. Dude has 2 affiliates and his profit is 16 bitcoins from that 2 affiliate.

So, it doesn't really matter about where or how and how much but it all depends on who your affiliates are, if you want to affiliate for any casino as long as they are legit and do pay your money than the only important thing is the people you bring in, there are people beneath that person with 100k+ affiliates and made less money than the dude with just 2 affiliates.
176  Economy / Gambling / Re: Top sport betting Site that pays in bitcoin on: April 17, 2019, 04:32:18 PM
Do not believe a casino is scam just because they do not allow themselves to be blackmailed by "protection services".
Just look at their own topics and you can see the real answers and if they are actually scam or not, most of the public actually tell them if they are scam or not on their own topic anyway.

We had a major problem with cloudbet (not sportsbook) for example with 330 bitcoin deal and they had to fix that to get the customers back, if they didn't than they would have lost a lot of customers and everyone would warn people not to bet there, that is a collective thing, we all agreed on that, just one guy telling this casino is bad and that casino is bad is not something you should be listening because they are "opinions" at best, look at the collective approach by everyone.
177  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Keep proper distance but not losing passion on: April 17, 2019, 03:05:13 PM
I never really traded for fun really, this is my job (not trading but crypto in general) so whenever I do anything crypto related I have to think about my living expenses as well.

If I am earning money than I am spending on buying stuff that will help me move on with my life, if I am trading money that I am suppose to use for living (not something I do frequently but sometimes I have extra money) than I am thinking about if this is a good decision or instead maybe I could use it for something useless for myself Cheesy.

So, when trading I either be losing money that I could have used for myself or I am losing money that I don't need anyway but could still use for stuff. That is why for me crypto is something I am very careful about and never really "fun" for me.
178  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to deal with greed whilst trading? on: April 17, 2019, 12:10:06 PM
Think of your money like your children, sometimes your children could do things that upset you but they are still your children all the same, since you can't really just let go of your children than you have to accept their mistakes and teach them the right way. So when you trade think of that as an experience for your money, your money should go out there learn something and comeback as learnt more stuff and bigger.

If it is weaker that should only be learning experience that tired them but gave them more experience for future when they will go get bigger. That is why never give up on them but always love them and never not cherish the moments you have with them, if you do not respect your money and love your money in the end they will leave you for someone else and that is the thing you do not want the most.
179  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Will Governments Ever Accept Blockchain-Based Cryptocurrencies? on: April 17, 2019, 11:04:59 AM
In what way exactly? I mean Ohio is accepting the taxes to be paid in bitcoin so the short answer will be "they are already doing that" and this topic will be closed. If you want more places to do that than you have to wait for it, Rome was not built in one day, if you want further acceptance you will have to wait even longer. If you just want official government decree that says bitcoin is legal and can be used than Ohio already done that.

Basically all governmental and legal stuff takes time, even non-bitcoin related stuff take time honestly because governments do not work like companies, you have to go through a lot of paper work and signatures and meetings etc etc which takes a lot of time. That is why I think bitcoin will be accepted by every single government but it may take more than 10 years to reach there.
180  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Invest now? or wait for down turn? on: April 17, 2019, 06:22:12 AM
There may never be another down, 5 thousand dollars could be the farthest we will be down for a long long time. If bitcoin price goes down from here than your waiting will worth something and you can definitely buy cheaper. But if bitcoin price goes higher from here we will never see anything below 5 thousand ever again. Think about it, if bitcoin goes to 6 thousand now, with that momentum on its side do you really think it will go below 4? Or even 5? It probably won't.

It has to go up really fast and go down really fast for that but now that we are smarter about doing quick increases we just go up a bit, fill the support line, make sure we are definitely protected against a big fall and than try to go up again and do this over and over again for each time we increase.
