1641  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: To what extent are Russians capable of storing their riches in Bitcoin? on: March 01, 2022, 11:55:30 AM
I don't see any problem in buying bitcoins within Russia. Cryptocurrency exchanges still allow Russian users to make exchanges. The easiest way right now is bestchange, but it's not very profitable. It's easier to buy USDT for rubles and then buy BTC on the exchange.
Profitability can depend on what rate you buy and on what rate you sell, I'm not talking about the rates on the exchanges but I'm talking about the value of the crypto. An exchange can give their own rate or fees to use their service but this can be recovered soon once we earn a profit on our cryptocurrency investments. What is good about bestchange is it's fast, no signup and KYC needed.

Buying usdt and trading it to a crypto can only incur us more fees and it's a little bit hustle. Buying crypto using cash is possible as long as crypto is not restricted in our place and there is nothing strange with this, I don't know why op thinks it strange.
1642  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why are there so many coins and the reason why some developers failed on: February 28, 2022, 08:02:50 PM
I believe developers saw the the vision of Bitcoin and try to explore from the vision  by introducing and making their own coin but they lost focus because they only have one goal in mind which is making money, forgetting the most vital ingredients in developing an asset. They forget that they are certain steps and strategies to undergo before accomplishing a good assets or goal.

Some of the reasons why I think some developers fail is because:

1. Lack of funding both the starting aspect and the launching aspect (lack of money to continue)
2. Failure in out righting frauds
3. Failure to evolve especially when the coin initially start bomming

Most developers have only one vision which is making money that is why many coins doesn't grow and they failed because they didn't see the vision ahead.
Of course they can see it because bitcoin is already there and the documents of it are already laid out, they can just read it to know if what is bitcoin for and why it is built. The vision of btc is for the people to have a currency that is free from banks and government regulations.

If there are things that btc is not good at, that is the speed and the fee. They can create a coin that solves this issue but the problem is someone already built a coin like this so what are the other coin developers after at? it can be clear that they only want is to profit. Greedy coin devs didn't fail just because their coin died but they are successful because they already earn during the pre sale of their coin.
1643  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which tokens have a future? I need 3 of them on: February 28, 2022, 06:18:48 PM
First not an altcoin but safest and the best investment and that is BITCOIN , sorry but you must add this everytime you invest in crypto .

Second is BINANCE as the most popular and best alternative coin ever created , from use and utility this is the best option .

Then of course ETHEREUM , being in the market for years and being second biggest coin for more than 5 years now? this will be the safe and manageable investment .
You mean he must buy btc every time he buys another crypto but what if btc is up and other cryptos are down, it would be wise if he skip btc first and pick up those dump coins first. Altcoin is not a single coin but when you say altcoin, it is already composed of different cryptos and there should be safe altcoins. Not all altcoins are scams.

Binance coin isn't the most popular altcoin but it was eth I guess because eth is older than it and eth is also the second biggest coin but no doubt that binance coin are a good alternative coin and can be better in some ways than eth. Ethereum can be a good coin but manageable ? not sure about that because the fees in eth are currently high.
1644  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How weird is it to borrow money and invest into Bitcoin? on: February 28, 2022, 05:21:26 PM
That's the big risk if you loan the money that you will going to invest,

the chance that you needed to sell your asset even you are at loss is there, if you don't have any other alternatives or other
sources of financial income.

It's good though if you have alternative and you can use your loan money for long term investment, the chance that you may
earn decent amount if the market favor your way.
If you already have an income why would you still make a loan? Can you just appreciate the potential of your income and if you invest that in bitcoin it will also have a chance to grow but the advantage there is you have less worries because it is your own money.

For those that have loaned already and the deadline is close, they can sell their assets at a loss but I think this is better because they can return something but if they won't sell, they cant pay something and they can get killed by the people who gave them loans. The deadlines are supposed to be longer the bigger the money that you loaned, this way, you will have a chance to gain a profit.
1645  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin revolution on: February 28, 2022, 02:05:44 PM
Yes, Bitcoin has revolutionized our fiat currency mindset. No one in the 20th century would have thought virtual currency would be there. And the way people are welcoming cryptos I see in no time we would be able to actually use it for buying all of the real physical assets.
The internet began long time ago and later on the concept of digital money do also became a reality. I think PayPal started it first and maybe this is where satoshi get his inspiration to create his own digital currency. The change in our currency is truly revolutionary as it started from physical then it goes digital.

Checking the OP's post I figured out that the revolution that he was saying is a name of an investment scam and obviously they use btc as a payment method because of its name "bitcoin revolution" anything that promises a 1k return daily is already shady and much more if it was millions? no one to be blamed here but the people that invest.
1646  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Good metaverse tokens. on: February 27, 2022, 08:55:51 PM
There are several options, including TVK, which I think is fantastic because TVK Metaverse Terra Virtua employs a VR headset: https://twitter.com/Terra_Virtua/status/1464712361516933120. If Terra Virtua released the current application for IOS in January 2022, the price quickly rallied, but finally fell due to the BTC adjustment when he updated the IOS application.
Just VR headset and an ios application makes you think that this metaverse project stands out from the crowd? But, a lot of metaverse projects can also do that. Metaverse is actually for the virtual reality and it's normal that they have a support for VR equipment and that won't be enough if they only support ios but what about android, windows, and other platforms?

Much better if they can widen their support so that more players can get involved with them. What is the update all about and why did the price fail after it? Maybe the players didn't like the new update, you know not all updates are about fixes or improvements but it can also affect the past performance of the game.
1647  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ukraine is now accepting cryptocurrency donations. Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT on: February 27, 2022, 08:28:30 PM
Just a reminder that before you send donation, just verify the authenticity of the address. There are so many scammers today that may possibly pose the official account of the government or official. They are good at faking their identities. I even received email asking for donations on this ongoing war. So how can they got a hold of those emails? I don't think the Ukranian government itself will send email asking for donations. But right now, the easier way to send money to them is via crypto. Now, it is the government who will just convert it to their fiat at the right time. Let's hope Putin will stop this madness very soon.
What happens to you can be an obvious scam especially if the mail that you got is tagged as spam. Mail spammers can get your email online or on one of the sites that you used. For you to be sure you can also compare the crypto address that you received in your email to the crypto address that is shown in the tweet. That practice must be done before we send any crypto so that we are sure that the money can go in the right hands.

There are hacks before in Twitter where celebrity accounts posted some message about crypto-doubler but those are an obvious scam and very different from the tweet that we saw in the screenshot. I have a confidence on this one.
1648  Economy / Economics / Re: War requires three things on: February 27, 2022, 07:12:38 PM
I can understand to the money, money, money comment. Wars are extremely expensive, not only in direct cost of sustaining the war effort, but also to secondary costs in keep the economy going and making plans to obtain resources needed for the economy, that becomes more difficult to obtain, on both sides of the war. If this becomes a prolonged war, Russia will feel the financial impact and Europe will feel the increase in cost of alternative energy sources. It may just be in the end a decision between who can last the longest between potentially hunger and starvation on the one hand for Russia and high energy cost on the other hand for Europe.
Money money money, that sounds like a lot of money they need there to start a war but it's true because of the high-powered vehicles and the pay for the soldiers are also expensive because their own lives are at risk here. Resources are now difficult to obtain because the connection to other countries is now closed or blocked due to penalties and even if they still have the money, they will still have a hard time getting the resources.

Russia is lucky despite of the hate of most countries to them, they are still friends with china and they can still get resources from this country. I don't think they will prolong this war when they know that it can cause them a problem in terms of finances.
1649  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto space is a land of possibilities on: February 27, 2022, 04:35:30 PM
Is there anything that is impossible in crypto space? I don't think there is, see if you are a newbie do not be deceived by what others are holding, everyone has their believe on every projects they hold, be a believer and stick to your plan, any coin or token can change your life
When you invest in crypto, that means you want to profit but if you will only say you will use crypto, that means you only use it right away for paying or buying.

Crypto can be good for you because you are already used to it and you already know its flaws, whenever btc decreases you know how to handle it or use it as your advantage to buy so that you can also earn more whenever price recovers but to some that are new yet in cryptos, they will feel uncomfortable when the price starts to go down or up and down. This makes them think that crypto is not perfect for investment. There are other investment that are more stable and less risky, they will likely go with it.
1650  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How good is crypto mining for a newbie on: February 27, 2022, 02:49:53 PM
Only those who have access to free electricity are still in good profits now and they can still buy GPU at current price since they won't be paying for electricity out of the money they make, free electricity is the answer, if you have this there is no reason to wait.
Idk if there is a country with literal free electricity. What I only know is there are countries with a cheaper electricity cost and if there is such thing as free electricity that is only from solar, wind and other natural resources. I do not consider it free if you are using the electricity of someone else, you might not be paying but the other person does. It is not about electricity alone but there other factors to consider like the maintenance cost of the panels and the miners.

If they have been damage, you are still going to spend money to fix and to replace them. Add in the difficulty of mining because of the tight competition and the halving too where mining rewards now have been reduced.
1651  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance vs Kucoin vs FTX... Which to go with (KYC non issue)? on: February 27, 2022, 09:03:17 AM
I believe, it depends on the preferences of the trader here.
I can't say much about FTX because I am not a user of this exchange.
However, I am a regular user of binance and kucoin, and so far, I haven't encountered any issues.
And also, in any exchange, you should not store your funds too long for security purposes.
So I think, whichever the user uses here for trading, these 3 are quite trustworthy.
And by the way, if you are a small trader, kucoin has still no kyc with 1 BTC daily withdrawal limit (but they are not licensed to operate in US).
Same here, am also not a user of the FTX exchange and I think most people now prefer binance and kuckoin. FTX is like an under rated exchange. Trading is an active one. They can make profit easily or immediately and they can withdraw this earning easily so no worries with them about storing funds for a long time inside an exchange. For the hodlers I think they will prefer personal wallets where they hodl their own keys as that is more safer.

Kucoin doesn't allow USA people? Some users comments that FTX also don't allow USA people so the last choice would be binance. There is also binance USA, this could be another version of binance specifically built for USA citizens.
1652  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A thing worst than "don't trade with your emotion" a trader should avoid on: February 27, 2022, 06:32:51 AM
As a trader, you should trade with all of the knowledge you have obtained, your actions and targets should be based on your discoveries, not whether bitcoin will increase by 100x or by a million.
In short, trade on your own and not by others? But, what if the knowledge that you discovered or obtained are the same as the shillers that you saw on youtube where you also believe that bitcoin can reach a 100x price in the future? If you have been doing a regular research then your already a pro and you already know what are the good and the bad's on this market.

I do not have a problem on the people that shill top cryptos because I also believe on what they are saying. Top cryptos really have a big potential although it can be a bad thing if your a trader because a trader usually don't wait for too long and there are obstacles (or dips) that we will experience along the way.
1653  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto prices crash as threat of war looms on: February 26, 2022, 08:59:19 PM
War conditions like what happened in ukraine, forcing people to secure their money in a safer form today, I think bitcoin might be a safe and easy alternative for us to take when the war gets worse, whereas if you keep or carry fiat money Of course, it will make us a bit of a hassle in managing it, so when we have to evacuate to another country, of course it will hinder us.
Physical form of money is not safe during the wars because you can lost it when your panicking and it can be damaged. If you store it in banks you will also have a problem because banks have been shut down on those country and withdrawals are not allowed.

Cryptocurrency is currently the best medium right now for both countries were wars are happening but I wonder why cryptos are still declining? Did my expectation in fiats didn't happen? Maybe it didn't really happen because they are prioritizing their life first and they can not think properly to do those things. If we are on their situation we will also panic and do the same , no time for financial matter's for a while.
1654  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coin Metaverse on: February 26, 2022, 08:31:37 PM
I'm sure the metaverse concept is not just hype, but a serious project. Unfortunately, the metaverse project requires major preparation prior to launch and no major metaverse has been launched to date.
Not a project but its like a technology that are new. A project is when there's a new coin came out while hype on the other hand is about excessive promotion. They use metaverse to hype their new projects and the coin that the op mentioned is one of it. It is obvious because of its name but a project do not really need to do all this things if they are knew to themselves that they are great enough because they will still get noticed by the public.

A project may need a major preparation if they are serious but if not, they can just launch it immediately but there are already major metaverse projects before. You can refer on the link given by the op to know them.
1655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread on: February 26, 2022, 06:52:28 PM
Dortmund have loss their chance on UEFA Europe League and I think will move target on Bundesliga as the only chance to get trophy, after defeating on DFB Pokal right now only Bundesliga competition as realistic chance for getting trophy, behind 6 points from Bayern Munich I think still have chance for Dortmund can get his trophy on this year. I think Ausburg is not have to worry because Dortmund should easy to win on this week.
After very poor run in Champions League there were some chances that they will do better here in UEFA Europa Cup and try to win this, but their poor run in European competitions continue, and they lost very badly at home against Ranger with now they are out of this competition and have very few chances for winning in Bundesliga because Bayern is not easy to team to beat in this league and Dortmund has never been good in this business they have mostly tactics of having some good profit from selling players and right now same happening in Haaland case hopefully we will have any good thing from them in future in any competition currently gape is six points, and it's not easy to turn down by any team in Bundesliga.

Seems unlikely. I'm a bit perplexed here, last year Verstappen was clearly the dirty driver, which was reflected in his numerous penalties. I mean, I've never ever seen him back out of any situation, he just goes for it no matter what, whether there's room or not, whether the other driver stays on the track or not. Hamilton's driving is more responsible, based probably on the fact that he is just a lot older. He knows when to back out and settle for second and 18 points, in a way that Verstappen doesn't. With Verstappen it's always 25 points or nothing. The weird thing is, the way he became champion in the end was because of Masi breaking the rules, not Max. But certainly with a more sensible attitude Max could have become champion before the final race, just by accepting second a few times rather than driving into people and crashing out.

I mean, take the aftermath of that final race as an example. Lewis congratulated Max. That must have taken a hell of an effort, but it's what he did. Now imagine it the other way around, Hamilton leading for most of the season, Max closing in over the last few races... final race he has the championship in the bag, then the officials f*ck it up and give the title to Lewis. Can you really imagine Max congratulating him? More likely Max would drive straight out of the course still in his F1 car and go on a mad rampage of destruction across the city. Cheesy
My text had nothing to do with Max. This is the problem with Hamilton fans, as soon as you call Hamilton a dirty racer, they go ahead and attack Max on a whataboutism. I never said I support Max nor said that Max is not a dirty racer.

My favorite racer is Lando and he can be a dickhead sometimes but certainly a lot less dirty than both of them. Sainz is also a great racer to watch for me as well, and ricciardo is also awesome personality as well, may not love him on his racing, but so much fun to watch that dude. And yet I never ever said Max was not dirty.

I could show you a million clips where Hamilton both raced dirty, but also places where he should have been given penalty and didn't, most notably the corner cutting on the very last race that ended up "he lost the time anyway" and caused Max to lose the first place until the last lap. However just even the fact that he almost killed Max (given penalty for that move, so F1 accepts Hamilton was wrong there officially) should be enough.
1657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 26, 2022, 05:56:03 AM
It's too early to say about whitewash, it's just second T20. Let India wins this first then we can talk about whitewash. Sri Lanka recently avoided whitewash against Australia by wining the last T20 and ending series 4-1. In this series SL are capable of winning just one or two match not the series.
With the current form of Indian and Sri Lankan teams in this t20 format we can expect a whitewash in this series because today India is looking for their 11th straight win and Sri Lanka is not good enough to have any chance for fighting back with very poor in both batting and bowling after very badly defeat against Australia.

Even they won last match of this lost series but still they are completely down-and-out by classic team and now facing World's No 1 team in this format which is worst for their current form and squad who is most depending on new players which need some more time and experience for giving better results.

A good thing for Sri Lanka now they can't drop from their current position in twenty ranking as they are staying at 10th.

Maybe they have style with gambling and have win much money with gambling site and the fantastic amount share on his bet slips make as more surprise looking that amount, usually I just reach about $100 to $300 for each single bet slips but now I was shy for sharing about my bet slips because very small amount with my betting bet. I think they have good financial when start with gambling and about how much money use for gambling is not really problem for them and keep try how to show bigger bet slips amount maybe next time, more crazy I saw on that site because many gamble bet much money there.
Yes, it is clear that his goal is to earn big because he bets in the lower odds and his bets are also huge. For a guy that wants to have fun, they will not bet millions and the odds that they are playing are usually higher as it gives a different joy when you hit them. Betting 100 to 300 dollars on a single bet is already damn huge because usually the minimum bets or the highest bets that I see are 1 dollar.

Your bets are already worth sharing but I salute you for being too humble there. Yes, the site stake is so popular and have lots of big players, almost every day there are big wins that you can see on this site, close to or more than the bet of drake.

I'm not sure we can say that yet. We don't have any real idea of which car is best. The Red Bull looks interesting, but the Ferrari does, too. At the moment all we can do is speculate, the testing doesn't reveal much other than whether the cars have reliability issues. I think we're all desperately trying to look for evidence of which cars are good and which are not, but with the new regs and no real racing done yet, it's just impossible to tell. We expect Merc and Red Bull to be amongst the best teams, but that's not a certainty.
I would guess that it is not really that weird to expect it to be between them. In fact I would guess that because of what happened last year, I am expecting Hamilton to be even more angry and would be doing even more insane stuff and risky stuff (which he keeps doing all the time but people ignore and thinks he is a clean driver, he was just because he was clean ahead of everyone, as soon as someone got close to him dude became dirty) which will result with him either being champion again very easily, or we are going to see something that would be like a horrible season because he will get point deductions, seconds penalties, and other stuff.
1660  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League & 1. League 2021/22 Season on: February 24, 2022, 08:53:27 AM
Thought Konyaspor will fight for the title with Trabzonspor this season. But now Konyaspor does not seem to have any chance of winning the title. They have lost points in the last 3 matches. Has lost 2 matches and drawn one match. At the moment they are 14 points behind Trabzonspor. They will not be able to reduce the gap between these points. Trabzonspor is a very consistent team. They have lost just one match this season.
Surely there was chance for them but due to their poor performance now most chances they will lose their second spot to Basaksehir as they are in good at very important time of season and Konyaspor is losing momentum which is going to hurt them very badly for their chance of staying at second spot and Trabzonspor is enjoying very healthy lead against their opponents like we have PSG in French League.
We have 12 rounds remaining in this season, so we can expect some good changes in league table with any upset can do solid change but with current form Basaksehir and Adana Demirspor are much better teams with good players for fighting at top of Turkish League.

But recently we have some big declined in quality of Turkish League just because of this they have worst results in European Leagues with few years back they were in some better shape with quality players.
