Oh my oh my.. Tough match today, Liverpool vs Leicester and I'm going for a sole 1 prediction. dbet offers 1.442 odds for this event to happen so I'm happy with that. Liverpool comes after a series of 4 wins, Leicestor only 3 wins. I know that both teams will try their hardest as Leicester is only 3 points from the first place in the league & with a win they'll have even better goal average. But no one stands against Liverpool when they have home advantage so I keep my 1 prediction.

I support the use of stable coins rather than fiat, but at the moment we don't really have a viable solution. DAI is the only decentralized solution that winks me an eye. The others with centralized collateral and no trustful audits will always make me raise a question mark.

A token that caught my attention lately is GOLD which is backed up by physical gold bullion bars that are stored in Singapore with BullionStar. They have audit from ChainSecurity, which is a trusted Swiss company in the industry. You can redeem the GOLD on their website with BTC or ETH in a few minutes at the golden spot price.

Well.. it is just another so called "decentralized" exchange in a bunch of others. I haven't seen true adoption of any DEX until now though. The volume is kind of low on the biggest DEXes I know like IDEX or DDEX. Also I haven't seen DEX with leverage option so far.. Or maybe the lack of profit for the creators don't let them put more money into marketing.

Bear market = make money by shorting bitcoin
bull market = make money by longing bitcoin

It is as simple as that! Remember that we complicate trading because we think we need to know more about the market in order to make more.  But that's not true. Technical analysis is giving you an edge over the market, risk management limits your losses and emotional control makes you stick to your edge and risk management principles.
1685  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 8 Ways to Make Money with Bitcoin in 2020 on: October 04, 2019, 03:41:30 PM
Mining bitcoin is especially viable if you believe in Bitcoin on long term or if you have cheap electricity fees. Regarding faucets I don't think you can say you can make money of it. I mean the amounts are so low that the food you need for your work costs more lol

PTC - the same, but you can gain some beer money per month

Micro jobs - if you live in a developing country you can gain nice amounts, but if you're living in a strong economy state, it will mostly be a waste of time. You will get by much better with a regular job.

Gambling? - That's a way to lose money and have fun, not to make money

Holding Bitcoin - is a good long term strategy in my opinion

Trading - a very lucrative industry, but it requires a pretty big learning curve and A LOT of practice and experience

Affiliate marketing - has always been viable, but again you need some investment first usually.

Hey, Anton! There are a few trusted services on the internet whose primary business is facilitating USA to Europe purchases. I won't advertise them here, I don't think I am allowed to do so. They basically buy the products for you and bulk them up and send them directly to your door. You get very low prices, but you need to wait a bit for the arrival.
1687  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will There Really Be An Altcoin Season or Just a plot to Keep us in the Loop on: October 04, 2019, 02:38:12 PM
In my opinion there is obviously a lot of upside potential for many project/cryptocurrencies that are actively being developed. Most of the altcoins in the market won't see the sun again I'll admit that. And they don't deserve to.. On the other side there are projects like Ethereum and Stratis(i mentioned them because I actually now that the development is going on) which if they keep up the work and expand their network they will rise together with Bitcoin. That is not guaranteed of course, but it is a high probability for that to happen from my perspective.
1688  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Smart hodling vs just hodling on: October 04, 2019, 02:19:12 PM
Many of us here are hardcore bitcoin believers. If you are anything like me, you've put most of your savings in bitcoin.

However, how painful is it to watch bitcoin price plummet?  Cry   Undecided  Roll Eyes  Huh  Sad  Angry

April 1st signaled the start of what seemed would be yet another bull run… however, the rally seems to have been cut short without getting close to the all-time high.

What do you think would be a smarter way of hodling bitcoin other than standing still, bag in hand, while watching the price go back down to the $3K range?


A smarter way would be to learn a little bit of technical analysis. You don't need a lot to gain your edge over the market. Just learn one of the simplest but so powerful indicators - HORIZONTALS. Those will tell you when a major level is broken and that the price might head much down further down or up. It is certainly better than just buying and holding your Bitcoin. But if you don't want headaches and don't want to be responsible for your trades.. or maybe you don't have the time to do it and you are much comfortable just putting your money there and watching it grow  Cheesy
1689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's most important to you in a crypto betting platform? on: October 04, 2019, 02:01:27 PM
For me it is all about the feel of the platform, how I interact with the shiny spin buttons or the pinkish "Roll" command that will make so much more exciting then a dumb white, simple font roll button. The theme is very important. I like to play mostly on a dark theme, but it is nice to alternate with the light theme from time to time. Provably fair functionality is a must and if you are developing a sportsbook I'd love to see direct betting like Directbet.eu used to offer.
1690  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Rant: I am thinking of Quitting my Interest in Crypto Currency on: October 04, 2019, 01:42:07 PM
You're free to do anything you want of course, but fundamentally Bitcoin & cryptocurrency infrastructure is being massively developed by institutions at the moment. CMEs already added futures and working to add other derivatives. Bakkt volume is increasing and there so many more institutions working on integrating blockchain and bitcoin within their infrastructure especially in the financial world.
1691  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 6 ways to help you not be emotionally dominated when trading cryptocurrencies on: October 04, 2019, 01:04:39 PM
Controlling your emotions is an essential factor in being a successful consistent trader. Most people don't put much emphasis on it, but mastering control over your emotions requires a lot of mental work. I would say that it is much more work then what you invest into learning chart patterns, horizontal lines, etc. Besides technical analysis and emotions control the third factor of the equation is risk management. If a trader manages to to put all these into alignment or if you want somewhat of an equilibrium then he will surely be successful.
1692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread on: October 04, 2019, 12:04:26 PM

Are you sure about this one? Celtic has a lot of talented players as well. What's more is that they play at home today and we all know what does it mean for British teams to play at their home grounds, in front of their fans. Of course, maybe Tottenham from last days is not the best example but the British ground is a British ground and these clubs know exactly how to play there.

Well... looks like I should have listened to you. Celtic smashed CFR at the game yesterday. The result on the table was 2-0, but the difference in the game was higher. I think the weather condition didn't give any advantage to CFR Cluj. Scottish teams are used to play in wet conditions. CFR squad had obvious difficulties in controlling the ball and of the Celtics physique is superior.

I still think that in the home match they will face another team. Cluj coach is renowned for making comebacks.  Cool

I think Stratis just read my above post. lol Really excited to finally see some action. $18,000 is not a great amount, but it is decent. Let the hackathon BEGIN!

Thanks to @ChrisPop for feedback and suggestions.
We currently do not support lightning networks. We look forward to perfecting the current system to perfection. In the second development, we will pay attention to the feedback and suggestions in the community.


You're more than welcome! I'm always happy to contribute to the development and well-being of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. And this is exactly what I want to hear from a company/service - a customer oriented approach is not always, but most of the time a good strategy when working with people.

Lightning payments would be a big plus because that is the only thing that keeps people with low balances away for your service. Sometimes people want to make a bet with 30k sats or so but the tx fee is making up a too big % of the stake if you know what I mean. You just need to get a lightning node running and connect it with your servers. To my knowledge that's not a hard thing to do, but you need someone who knows his thing around blockchain and especially bitcoin mechanics  Wink
1695  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win a Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2!! on: October 03, 2019, 04:42:17 PM
I've just got two tickets for myself. I know my chances are pretty low, but it is better to have a chance than none right? I've checked and there are over 5,5 million tickets in the Lamborghini Huracan lottery pool at the moment. That means my chances are much higher than to be born as a human which are 1 trillion to 1.

Wondering what the winner of the Lamborghini will do. Take the lambo or cash in those $200k worth of BTC. It would be nice if the organisers will make a wrap job on the lambo with the freebitco.in brand and post it here on the thread haha
1696  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Many new traders are playing to lose on: October 03, 2019, 03:59:05 PM
Are you playing to lose or you are playing to win? a friend of mine lose all his bitcoin to trading and when he started complaining about i decide to take a look and i detected that he traded in a gambler's way.
He has 100$ and he traded just twice with 50$ which results in quick lose,im not an trading expert but most trading platforms always warn traders to limit their trading to the highest of 10$ which would have given him more chances to continue trading

Apart from not learning how trading works he is playing to lose,i think this is what many newbies are doing as well,if you are doing the same you will always end up losing your money,if you want to bet 50$ on a trade you must have thousands  of dollars on the trading platform not trading with 100$ and be praying for a miracle.

Trading is not something you can rush,expert traders out there spend days trading for profits and if a particular day is full of loss they quit trading for that day.

Really curious what trading platforms warn traders to limit their trading to $10. The risk you take on a trade should be taken in accordance with your account size. A rule of thumb for professional traders is to never risk more than 2% of their account on a trade. Anything over that will probably trigger your emotions and affect your next trades. So actually the rule would be to only risk what you can easily afford to lose. Don't be a greedy, but be mindful and think with probabilities in mind.
1697  Economy / Gambling / Re: Seuntjies DiceBot -Multi-Site, multi-strategy betting bot for dice. With Charts! on: October 03, 2019, 03:53:05 PM
I highly recommend Seunthies Dicebot. I have used it on many online casinos using so many different betting strategies. The amount of customization is practically infinite, you can play however you want - that's why I like it so much. However there is no strategy that works on the long-term but tweaking the strategies and inter-changing them might make you lose your stakes much slower and maybe even make some nice profits for a time.
1698  Economy / Speculation / Re: Q4 -Quarter 4 speculation thread, where will 2019 end, join the LIST on: October 03, 2019, 03:19:24 PM
I'll add my prediction: $9,315

The monthly tiemframe on Bitcoin looks bullish to me overall, but in the next couple of months I think we'll see more of a ranging/sideways price action. I am guilty to be a little bit biased as I believe in BTC and blockchain of course. Monthly actually shows a lower high but hasn't put in a lower low yet and it is above all my EMAs. So we're probably just going to hover between $7000-$10k.
1699  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to Identify Cryptocurrency Scams on: October 03, 2019, 01:59:02 PM
Decent article, but I'd stick to my simple rule: if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck it is most probably a duck and I trust my probabilities. Smiley  On a more serious note if something seems to be too good to be true then it probably is! But do not confound a big opportunity with a scam. When you do that you've already transformed in that skeptic guy no one likes. In order to avoid that you need to undergo a close investigation of the revenue/business/trading model of any opportunity. After all if you are an investor you need to take care of your funds & what better way to do it besides doing your own research.

Agreed with you this is not a perfect scenario where the news are working it need to take it into really bullish phase when it will show its magic. The good thing is that they are working hard to make this blockchain more secure and it will get ready for mass adoption.


I am not saying that STRAT price couldn't rocket to the moon as the crypto saying goes.. But in this market you need a solid tokeconomy that creates a constant flow of demand on the market. In other words buying pressure needs to be created to pump the price through the sentiment of the market. That demand could be created through dapps built on stratis platform and of course strat locked up in sidechains, smart contracts fuel, etc.

The technology is there. Now it is developers' job to deliver use cases. Not only devs of course, but mainly businessmen which hire the devs..
