Yet many individual investors are beginners and have a low investment capacity. Moreover, the lack of investment experience is a disadvantage for investors who often have to spend large sums of money in unsuitable online training courses.
Those who lack knowledge, haven't heard about the theories and practices around investment and don't know banking and finance well, I can't call them investors. Investor isn't someone who is looking for people opinion on forums online and take decisions that way. I think we should call them "a person who wants to make some profit with some bucks" instead of investors. What if we could invest and learn together? Because after all, in my opinion, investing in crypto should be fun!
What if we invest together and make mistakes together? That doesn't sound good. 1 mistake is okey but 100 mistake is a huge problem, that's why I am against it. Also it's not fun when you see loss instead of profit. Btw it will be good to have a tools that unite some major exchanges and give you possibility to check price of each them (such things exists but I mean connected accounts and immediate transfer between them but I hugely doubt you'll get that kind of partnership from any exchange). I think you should check eToro, they share the same thoughts. |

I love skill based games more than games which are purely and totally dependent on the players' luck because skill based games provide more advantage to the players than luck gives. I like total skill based games though like chess or 8 Ball pool, but games which are luck+skill like rummy, and sometimes blackjack, are fun too. Overall, if there's skill involved, I love to play those games as it feels like I'm controlling the game  Luck + Skill games are really the most entertaining, including Blackjack, Poker and others. But playing only skill-based games online is totally a waste of time. It doesn't matter how great skills you have in particular games online, what matters is who has better software and computer because skill-based games totally depend on math and other combinations that needs calculation. So, such games would look like battle between PC and PC. I think it will be better if casinos implement games like rock paper scissors where persons really have to combat against each other via pure luck. There are a lot of p2p games that depend on pure luck. |

1. having bitcointalk itself vet which system is using what login, can cause negative user experience. EG 'detecting your device' and only letting you log in from that single device will actually cause more issues for people that have multiple devices/privacy guards. so it then becomes the users own requirement to protect themselves.
if you are using someone elses device its upto YOU to protect yourself. if someone else gets your login. then its YOUR fault. so limit using other peoples devices. or ensure you delete history/cookies after use.
year ago i thought a possible thing BCT could have used was to register someones public key as their login and people would write a unique message signed by that key where the signature was the password. that way the user can keep the private key safe and other users wont be able to log in after a session expiry because it would require a new unique signature/password.
but the ease of having a device/app that can work separately from the login device but able to communicate the signature to the login device. is not mainstream.
so for now although there are methods to add layers of extra precaution. (yubikey and such) its not something people normally have and would not be something that can be just implemented overnight for free. so its upto the users to protect themselves and think smart when using other peoples devices
Nice idea but at the same time we have to consider that there are people who don't actually have their own wallet and are using exchanges or other service providers for that purposes, so are unable to sign a message. Btw in your case, how would website be able to verify it? Would there be a certain, common text that everyone should write when signing a message? I think bitcointalk should have an one-time login option: Bitcointalk sends one-time password on your email, you login with limited time session and also with limited possibilities (can't change password and some other options). Or also there could be a login with three secret question, dedicated for one-time login. After filling the questions, user should login with limited possibilities that I mentioned above and after login with email, user should be able to change that secret questions for further security. I know that will be very hard to implement but just stating my idea. |

The question here is what could be the difference of a company holding an Bitcoin for reseve asset than an ordinary man buying holding a Bitcoin?
Completely depends. Depending on how much bitcoin a certain company holds, they may be forced to liquidate the bitcoin if it comes to the point that they need more cash to keep the company running. This is why I find it really risky for MicroStrategy to be holding a huge amount of bitcoin(in contrast to their company's assets and marketcap). But then again, I'm pretty sure their CEO is a hundred times smarter than me so who am I to judge his choice. It's the riskiest move but the smartest one at the same time, it's like a Va-Bank. I think they have a huge hope after a lot of predictions that company will profit without problem in near future and probably on long term and it won't have a need of using reserves, it's like: We are sure we will grow and don't need any reserves but why to just leave our reserves put on the table? Let's convert it into bitcoin and if bitcoin rises, we will have a decent profit and it will help us with upcoming profit to expand and develop even further. Yesterday's 10K USD tomorrow will turn into 100K. That's what I think about it, otherwise to convert your asset reserves into bitcoin is a very, very risky move (especially without smart plan) and playing of Russian roulette for a company. |

One thing many pro and casual gamblers like us always look for is whether the online casino is licensed or not but do we care where it was registered?
I noticed many online fiat or crypto casinos are registered under the Government of Curacao and I've read they're shady regulators. They accept casinos that will host fake games or casinos that will accept players from supposedly restricted countries.
Questions:
1. As a gambler, how do you gauge the legitimacy of a Curacao registered online casino or in other jurisdiction with zero or little regulation?
2. Is it enough that they offer provably fair games?
3. If it's an "old" casino, you can check their reputation and reviews from players but what if it's new?
.......
Would it make any difference to you if they're registered in Malta or UK where regulations are said to be of the highest standards?
1. Most likely crypto casinos are registered under the law of Curacao. Also want to remind you that major crypto casinos carry the license of curacao. So in crypto world it doesn't mean that casino may be a scam if operates under that license, no. This forum is the place where almost every crypto business starts operating and you'll see all of the major crypto casinos have ANN threads here and are very active. This forum is great indicator to decide whether you can trust this or that casino. There is trust system implemented and you can check whether representative of certain casino here has been banned or not, also you can check scam accusation / reputation threads here about casinos if there exists any and then why that happened, how it was solved, etc. 2. Provably Fair games on some casinos aren't really provably fair because they can fake it. As I told you, reputation of casinos on this forum comes in action again. 3. There are some new casinos made by old ones, for example Stake by PrimeDice and Tower.bet by DuckDice. These are new casinos but established by a professional and well-known ones. If there is a new casino that you don't know and don't want to risk, then wait for a time to pass and keep an eye on it. |

I amn't someone who may help you but I'm a little bit interested in it. Do you plan to do it for commercial success or just for fun and as a hobby? What about to upgrade the graphics and make it similar of Imperia Online (just for example). You may say that there are a lot of people who work on this game but just for motivation I want to remind you that there is a very serious upcoming game for Xbox X platform called Bright Memory Infinitive that was made by only one person, check the trailer of game yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovb0HCKIzNA <-- This is really crazy. Hope it may motivate you cause otherwise I can't help, python and this kind of programming languages are far from me. |

Seems they had to pay decent money in this advertisement but I am amazed why FC Barcelona agreed partnership with them. I don't think it's good to partner with a scam company but at the same time from personal understanding, 1xbit aims to be leader in Russia. Their target is russian community, they are fair with them, I haven't seen any Russian player in Evolution Gaming's tables complaining about 1xbet, no, their blackjack tables are very, very popular and they have a lot of tables.
After all those years of siezing people's winnings, why wouldn't they have a decent amount to spend?  BTW it's not just only FC Barcelona Partnering with them, they also have a partnership with Seria A and a couple of other sports brands They would have but as I said, I am amazed that it was partnership with FC Barcelona. Seems their marketing manager really works very well to not only make website popular but to make it look reputable for potential users. I really feel bad for the people who are still scammed. But this mistake must be avoided in future. The power of 1xbit and 1xbet is to advertise everywhere, and the sponsorship with Barcelona will give 1xbet many customers, since they think the deal is legit. Barcelona do not care about it, they only care about if the money that is coming to them is clean.
I wouldn't say that 1xbet scams it's users, in this case I mean Russian customers because in Evolution Gaming's tables, they have a lot of customers and they even have two dedicated space for 1xbit and plan to add another 3rd one, they really pay a lot of money and tables are always full of players and they haven't complained in chat that this casino is scam and it didn't let them to withdraw money or something like this. If players have ever said scam about 1xbet this was because they lost game in blackjack so, seems 1xbet has changed, at least for Russian players but still will be good to see some response from our members that are from Russia. |

We had halving on July 9th, 2016, the price was 650$ but the magic hit in winter and from winter, price went up to the highest one in bitcoin's history. Btw there were still many factors in 2016 that stopped the speed of price rise that includes scam of hashocean and other things that happened.
Your statistics shows that bitcoin only grows and that's not a correct indicator to only look at price stamp of certain months because there was a lot of changes in prices, that includes prices lower than those indicators and higher ones. We had $6579 in 2018 this time but at the same time we don't have to forget that 2017 year played a huge role in it, the rise up to 20K USD. But we had moments like price between 3-4K USD. Also, more than 1 year ago bitcoin hit 14K USD again but still didn't reach to that amount again.
I don't like only looking at numbers because there is history behind every number and there were certain moments that caused those numbers. What about to write price stamps of bitcoin for each month of certain years? Will it look as beautiful and hopeful as October?

Simple advice given in this thread are just useless but it doesn't mean that they aren't necessary to consider. The reason why they are useless is that just saying you have to have a right mindset, be mentally prepared, etc are just easy to say and something that everyone knows they have to do but the most challenging part here is how to achieve that, how to achieve that mental state, how to get rid of emotions and how to get rid of control that emotions can gain on us while trading and so on. Advice means nothing if it doesn't give you any vision or a way to solve a problem.
If someone advice you to learn a laws, how will you learn them if you don't have a book of laws? Same applies to these advice that OP gave to us.

By the way, what about if I get my salary in cash directly and just pay with cash in supermarkets? And what if the government pays communal service fees? Or what if I just directly go into their offices and pay there with cash? There are a lot of people who don't use banks, even in some good countries. So I wouldn't say that it's impossible or nearly impossible to live without banks. You don't need the help of cryptocurrencies in this case too.
Btw owning of a crypto card doesn't mean that you live bankless because it's in touch with banks too. By using crypto, you'll be bankless when you use your own wallet and send transactions from this wallet without any 3rd parties.

You do not use VPN because of speed, you use VPN for legal and anon reasons and that may help you hide your whereabouts as well. However there is also a tiny bit of speed issue as well, which is not really common in many places in the world, but the fact is some websites are blocked or limited in some nations, they are not allowed or even if allowed there is low level of internet allowed for them, like sort of a punishment for the website.
However if you use stuff like VPN or ToR that means you can connect with faster speed as well. That could be one of the reasons why he could be using VPN for internet connection (or just the anon reason we all use it for). When you use VPN the major problem is website sees that you are coming from different IP's all the time and that might create some issues.
Do you mean that connection from Country A to country B with just your ISP is slow but if you use VPN and connect to country C and from C to B, then it may help? It's like direct path with 3rd party will boost connection speed between two? Cause I haven't seen there any website sets a speed limit on a certain country and then by using VPN you are able to bypass this limited speed, is that even possible? I know you can limit speed (download speed) for users who aren't registered but haven't heard the same about country restrictions. Btw you can buy VPN with dedicated and static IP so using VPN shouldn't be a problem but it may cost more. |

If you are reading this and have the potential to make take such an initiative , please do and we, the Bitcoin community will support you.
With over 13,000 employees at eBay, I'm sure they are aware of crypto. If there was an advantage to their current model to use crypto they would have implemented it already. And like the previous poster wrote, there are still fees with crypto, and the company needs to make a profit. I don't think any developer here would spend thousands of hours making an eBay clone if they couldn't charge fees, and the instant it started making money, eBay could add it on easily. What you want is an auction site that doesn't need to refund/return. People can't understand one thing: What you want and think is amazing, doesn't mean that others share the same thoughts and opinions. Most people can't understand that for example if Ebay doesn't implement cryptocurrencies, there are a reasons behind it and at the same time if someone hit market where there is open monopoly. Anyone can enter into market but no one can beat the giants. If someone wants to enter in this market with cryptocurrencies, it would cost a tons of money and then, the same action from Ebay (implementing of cryptocurrencies) and this business will dive and lose billions. What kind of fees do a crypto version of Ebay would be able to save? Do fees change when you pay with Euro over USD? Or GBP over USD and Euro? Or take any other national currency. I want to remind you that Bitcoin is a currency, different from traditional ones but still a currency and it's very easy from governments to set fees on it the way they wish and in terms of fees make it absolutely similar of the situation we have right now on Ebay. Cryptocurrencies aren't magical things or spells. |

I have read a lot of theories about NBA being rigged and a little portion of me were convince, so I would like to ask you.
If you believe it's rigged, is it a disadvantage or advantage to us bettors?
Share your opinion and if you have some proof, kindly post.
I want to remind you that once Maradona said something like this: If you want to see a real soccer, then cancel sportsbooks. <-- I think this words already answered your question. Personally I was thinking the same but at the same time when I watch games, most of the times it's hard for me to believe that games are rigged because every player puts all of their passion and energy into match. And in overall, why do they need to rig matches? There is already made decent money from fans that visit matches. |

Was thinking where to post, in reputation's thread or here but didn't want to create a new thread so... This user Speakmore has a thread Shopify Dropshipping Mentorship | $10K+ a day! [LIMITED SPOTS] where as you already guess he guides you how to make 10K USD a day by just paying $500 to him for this course. Without doubt, in this case user tries to scam others by offering nice proposal and hopes. Seems he is quite patient and to make things more believable, in September 09 he said that he has taken 5 student and isn't available until October. Then in September 24 (15 days of patience) he posted that October's class is open and is waiting for students... He bumps his thread very often and I am amazed, has no one ever noticed him? Why isn't he banned? Or at least red tagged? |

Thoughts. Seems more and more "whales' are getting into BTC
Many are buying up the supply of Bitcoin. Which in turn would make it harder for other people to get.
IF all the supply is bought up. It would make it very hard for others to get BTC.
Now if the whales are buying Whole Bitcoins etc.
Then the value of some of us who just have 0.00054 BTC have little value in the long term?
Almost like putting a whole Bitcoin at a million dollars while the rest of us end up with Pennies?
thoughts? or would having 0.00054 BTC have lots of value if all the whales bought the entire supply?
Thoughts?
Who is buying a supply of Bitcoin? No one has done such thing when price was some bucks and do you really believe that it's possible for now for someone to buy that much bitcoin with current price? But still, even if we may consider that moment when whales buy almost all of the bitcoins, then, logically price should be high cause it's kind of reseller technique. Buy in cheap price and sell in higher one, especially when it comes to a things that costs billions in overall. There is demand - there is supply and when demand is higher, price becomes higher. If something had a cost of 10K in past, if demand decreases, it will come near to zero according to regress but there are still some factors to consider. And, do you have that 0.00054 bitcoin and are thinking around it?  |

When you guys talk about ban of cryptocurrencies, what do you mean? Ban means it should be prohibited, illegal and you'll be punished for owning or making transactions with it. If there isn't service provider in your country, it doesn't mean that cryptocurrency is banned, just for explanation.
And governments, first of all you have brain that should be used in real life. There are people investing in scams and then blaming government because such scam existed and they didn't abandoned it. I agree with you at some point but on another hand, don't blame others for your mistakes, that's a huge problem and disadvantage for your development in life.

In one thread people are complaining about lack of money and here, seems people find a place of gold ring in their budget. A lot of things have happened in a pandemic, mostly product sellers and retailers have seen a huge profit. Btw in my country everything happened opposite, loved ones weren't meeting each other and most of the couples are ex now. Btw it will be interesting to see whether the population will increase in some months (six or more) or it will be the same.
Btw if we remember The Great Depression, pandemics and economic collapses boost this process instead of slowing it down.

My response may be a little bit off-topic but first of all, I want to say that Default Trust shouldn't be the most important metric here! Because Trust is abused and this is the place where we are more likely anonymous. Default Trust and trust scores in overall may give a little bit boost in confidence someone to take first step in trading or trusting something, it's like gambling where chance of win is 90% but you don't know whether that 10% shine or not. So my question is - how can members improve their trust ratings if there are no business trading opportunities in the forum?
Why do you have to improve trust ratings? It's just numbers and it's easy to fake numbers. Anyone can organize a good plan about how to boost their trust, even with trading. Someone may trade even thousands of USD just for trust score, it's like investment in your trust. But there are other people who have a need of trading and find this place a good one to trade and built trust naturally that they really deserve. Trust system is dilemma here. |

I havent see the advertisement of 1xbit/1xbet on Barcelona's stadium, but I have seen the advertisement on a sports platform such as flashscore.com This is a powerful scam advertisement as the site can put their banner on so many popular media/forum. I'm wondering why such popular sports media or even a big sports team such as Barcelona is willing to accept the deal from such scammer? It is related to money of course, but Barcelona?? Do they really need the money while on other side they are putting their fans into a big risk?
They have been advertising at Nou Camp for over a year if you are a good watcher of La Liga matches They also have an advert to plays sometimes on sports TVs. Here is a youtube video of it.  Click on the image to play videoSo this can easily fool newbies into joining the gambling platform thinking they are honest. It was quite surprising for me to see this kind of advertisement from them because what I see is that they are trying to advertise very cheaply. Mostly their advertisements are seen on pirate websites, I mean websites that offer live translations of soccer matches. This kind of places offer great results and lowest prices. Seems they had to pay decent money in this advertisement but I am amazed why FC Barcelona agreed partnership with them. I don't think it's good to partner with a scam company but at the same time from personal understanding, 1xbit aims to be leader in Russia. Their target is russian community, they are fair with them, I haven't seen any Russian player in Evolution Gaming's tables complaining about 1xbet, no, their blackjack tables are very, very popular and they have a lot of tables. I think this is a well-organized campaign and that there is a company behind it. 1xbet seems to me to exist longer and be bigger. They would never allow a competitor to adopt almost the same name with the exact same website. Conclusion: 1xbit and 1xbet are from the same owner.
Despite the fact that they deny it, in reality - they are. 1xbet and 1xbit have tables in Evolution Gaming in Tbilisi's studio. I don't want to go into details but they are the same! |
