1721  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do you think privacy is important for a beginner? on: September 02, 2023, 06:51:44 AM
When I got on to the crypto boat a few year back, I was more concerned about security than privacy as we are dealing with money and naturally you want to protect your home bank! Same scenario applied to beginners, if cryptocurrencies were introduced to someone for the first time and you told them this is as good as your local currency,  I have no doubt that they will be more interested in the security side of things than privacy!! Privacy concerns are to be expected from pro users who know the pros and cons of the technology and not from beginners.

Everyone must have believed in the importance of privacy since he preferred to use crypto in the first place. Unfortunately, however, this principle is partially or completely abandoned when dealing with all licensed service platforms specialized in crypto.
My thoughts too, and with cryptocurrencies going mainstream and the major players being centralized... I honestly think we have given up this card called "privacy" as this is beyond our control as third parties are calling the shots on this unfortunately... Privacy today is somewhat out of our control unless you are a pro user.
1722  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [JUST IN] Chinese court news said Cryptocurrencies are considered legal property on: September 01, 2023, 05:30:26 PM
This is something unexpected from the Chinese government...especially that it's been in the forefront of hindering crypto growth from making it tough for miners to holding crypto..

But reading this to say cryptocurrencies are legal property that should be protected by law is bullish news and any product that has the support of one of the biggest economies in the world is guaranteed to succeed and once word goes out about this I see price jumping up again !!

I'm not sure why people take the words of government too seriously. Later they would say Bitcoin have no intrinsic value when the community itself gives it value.
Well the government giving its position on crypto actually removes any doubt and fears of wanting to invest in this industry and any possibility of facing the law...and if you recall back in the day anything that had to do with China always affected price but now getting this is very much bullish news.

4.MetaMask address registered on Zenland: 0x9C60E4498eBba3a58e910fa9566C15BB354487b0


Step 1: Contract approved. Waiting for deployment
Step 2: Contract fulfilled. Waiting for funds release.
Feedback: Overall experience was smooth, liked the fact that both parties can chat as the contract is being executed and can see when the contract will expire(** if a countdown timer was possible that would be a great addition**) . Also, I would suggest a slight adjustment of the notification bell to make it bigger for it to grab the user's attention whenever something is there, otherwise great experience on the Zenland platform.




BTw incase the contract allows for it to run for several days, is it possible to have email notifications sent to an email addy whenever a deployment is made to avoid getting to the dispute stage if a user is away from their PC ??
1724  Economy / Services / Re: [DISCUSSION] SINBAD.IO [Mix Your BTC Quickly] Signature Campaign | Up-to $150/w on: August 31, 2023, 11:29:44 PM
Naturally everyone will want to get the higher incentive depending on pay rates applied, but then again for the sake of having a quality campaign the lesser post needed in a quota the better, but on the marketing side of the product more posts means more impressions and possibly higher chances to drive traffic towards the Sinbad channels and securing longevity of the campaign. And the plus side of such a campaign, places become competitive and anybody going below par if not the green zone such a spot is in trouble ** of course after a few warnings as always** just my 2cents.


And thanks for setting the new standards when it comes to signatures , hope it's not @notblox1  ⚔️ Game of Thrones ⚔️ Campaign Manager Challenge ⚔️ that caused the chain reaction  Cool

trying to get through to our 24/7 support , but for some reason live chat seems to work like a dedicated frequently asked questions section  Tongue

Is there a way to get through to support in real time ??

Are you login on the Bitcasino? I try to use live support now and it's working properly but there's no agent available now to answer my question but still it's working fine as chat.

Maybe you are not login or try to type your concern and look for chat support button when it appears.
Like you said , no agent at the moment..maybe  support is changing shifts or something .

Cheers 👍

Sorry to hear about the whole drought issue causing some instability of food prices and the alike,  but am interested to know if you are affected by the oil prices too as this was what came to mind with the whole Russia- Ukraine war which has destabilized the oil/gas prices world over..and it's effects have a ripple effect to pretty much everything though we have adjusted and used to it by now.
1728  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Face unlock on bitcoin wallet devices on: August 30, 2023, 09:58:25 PM
To be honest I believe the problem actually lies with us the end users! We are always looking for convenience in trying  to save us time from the process of copying a private key and pasting it..which has pushed these app developers to use biometrics to allow us access to our wallets ( surprisingly bank apps do this too) and I don't see this stopping any time soon as no serious losses have been reported yet...
Btw when it comes to biometrics locks, isn't this dependant on the security of the operating system...if it can be fooled with a picture of you then don't consider  enabling it.

But on the bright side, if someone had passed on and their device had all these wallets biometric locked..it means access to the treasure can easily be retrieved by a spouse unlike a wallet locked by a pvt key which once key isn't found its over for you.
1729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: August 30, 2023, 05:32:36 PM
If you are onto gambling for the first time it's not possible to get addicted to gambling because you haven't tasted what winning feels like, you will be consumed by doubts and uncertainty.

But wait till you have a taste, win some money, that's where you start feeling like there is more if you keep digging, is this not where gambling addiction starts?
Agreed the taste of your first win always makes gambling look easy and before you know it, you have increased your risk from 5 dollars per bet to 50 dollars or more and then if you lose this bigger bet, you double your risk and unknowingly you start chasing your loses and this is how recklessness comes in and in some circumstances this is how people get hooked to gambling & if not controlled you get addicted to it.
1730  Economy / Speculation / Re: How passionate are you buying Bitcoin now? on: August 30, 2023, 04:59:56 PM
Let's just say when everybody is talking about buying bitcoin just because they see some green going on in the markets...for me that's never going to be a great time to buy as it will be at a premium cost,  but talk about buying the dip..here this is were you get the passion and satisfaction of catching a low and discounted coins while everybody else is scared of losing their money as they see markets likely to crash further...

So like the basics state, buy low and sell high and with this strategy you will never go wrong.

Officially‼️ Eden Hazard is set to retire from professional football.
According to the media, the Belgian captain has plans to announce his retirement from professional football at the age of 32. Many clubs have been interested in the signing of Eden Hazard this summer at 32. But he decided to call it a day on his career. It seems that Real Madrid will be his last team in his career.
Eden Hazard has spent four seasons wearing the white shirt, and until now he has been without a team. He has had several offers to continue his career with another team, but it seems that none of them have convinced the striker. At this point in the summer, Hazard would have decided not to listen to any more proposals and hang up his boots.
Am wondering why most strikers at the age of 32 would be hanging their boots when they still have alot to offer in terms of experience that the younger players can get a thing or two...

And for a skillful player like him, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be a bad idea just to make bank $$$ then call it a day...whatever is going on could be a decision made out of duress and don't believe he wanted this! If this is true, enjoy your retirement sir.
1732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Constant wins in the casino for several days, then constant losses. Noticed?! on: August 30, 2023, 01:49:50 PM
Playing for many years, I observe a certain series of wins and losses. It looks like it every time! Also in casino chats, a lot of people talk about it.

Most of the time the casino takes the money. But when the winning session comes, on this day many slots give you a solid win, it is impossible to lose. This successful session can last several days.
As soon as this ends, absolutely all slots begin to take money.

How do you win and lose?
For casino games or slots, the giving sometimes is based on the jackpot system which needs to reach a certain threshold before giving it out, sometimes I think it's just the algorithm in terms of casino games but when it comes to sports,  it's about making your own luck to have a winning run!!!

Btw, when it comes to sports gambling it's very much normal based on the fact that everyday comes with its own luck...and a person has a different mindset with each day which means if you play on a day you have a clear mind and luck is on your side, you can have a good winning run.
1733  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [JUST IN] Grayscale wins lawsuit against the SEC on: August 30, 2023, 01:25:22 PM
The current market price hasn't done justice after receiving this great news, as things looked like a one way street in favour of SEC! But against all odds the coin flipped in favor of Grayscale which has let most of our coins in green, and we need to build enough momentum to push price up  and get the herd mentality
and buying back on the road Cool

While they may have won their lawsuit, this just puts them on the list awaiting approval with everyone else.
Will take the "W" for now...

And the court siding with Grayscale opens up the doors for more to get on that list... But I guess the real fight hasn't began as getting the approval process is another pain in the b***
1734  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Question on Governemnt's Sales of Seized Bitcoins on: August 30, 2023, 12:20:45 PM
I want to know, when the government of a country who have seized bitcoins decide to auction it off, do they auction the bitcoin based on the price as at the time it was seized or at the current market price which is the time it is being auctioned off?
When offloading such coins on an auction platform,  it can not be sold based on market value as this could change the nature of the transaction and I believe government seized items all go through public auctions to avoid any conflict of interest from within...though to protect the market they could reserve a minimum selling price to avoid crashing our crypto markets as they are stake holders in this Smiley
1735  Economy / Economics / Re: How to avoid over expenses and have discipline on: August 29, 2023, 10:45:30 PM
When one talks about having discipline of how money is used, it all comes down to having a budget that you will follow nomatter the circumstances!! Yes this includes emergencies as others go out of their budget to spend extra which shouldn't be the case, as you need to allocate some money that will go towards miscellaneous items or emergencies so that when that time comes...the huge bills dont hurt your pocket or cause some hypertension...

Managing expenses and maintaining discipline can be challenging, but here are a few strategies you can try: create a budget and stick to it, differentiate between wants and needs, avoid impulse buying, set savings goals, track your expenses, and practice self-control. Remember, small steps can lead to big financial wins!
Easier said than done, this is from a personal experience  Tongue

Btw, from my observation...why is it that women find it easy to budget as co.pared to the men who spend without considering budgets Huh
1736  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [banned mixer] 🦁 Fantasy Premier League Pool ⚽ Discussion Thread on: August 29, 2023, 09:18:40 PM
Is there anyone who has transferred Sterling to their squad? He is a player who has always problems on finishing. He showed a good performance against Luton and carried me to top last week. He has a potential to collect points for a few more weeks because of Chelsea's fixture advantage. However the idea of making a safer choice like Maddison in his place isn't bad at all.


Sterling did have a good game in game week three but the only problem I see in him ever since he moved to Chelsea is inconsistency to perform!! But I see no reason why he shouldn't be given an opportunity to prove himself once again that his the real deal, otherwise great fixtures ahead for his team Roll Eyes

Btw, looking at the higher price of Maddison,  this tells the full story as his involved in most attacks of his club , which makes him more likely and easily to score points than Raheem Sterling... but here Raheem looks like a good catch to free up some funds Smiley
1737  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Just Learnt About A Major Risk Involved In Stable Coins on: August 29, 2023, 09:07:10 PM
This forum is really helpful I must confess. I never knew about Pegging and Depegging. But after my previous post on whether to save in stable coins or my local currency, I got to know that even stable coins have their own risks involved, in which Depegging is one of the major risks  
Above all things, it's also important to state that as much as this " Pegging and Depegging" is considered as a risk, it actually doesn't happen often which is why stablecoins are still in use today, meaning they might not be of high risk after all Roll Eyes
But what really scares the fintech world when it comes to stablecoins,  has to be the centralized foundation they are built on which still remains in our subconscious as someone has an invisible hand in them which is the major risk imo...
1738  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lessons Taken from Previous Bull Markets: How Will Your Approach Change? on: August 29, 2023, 01:17:59 PM
Not everyone will agree to this, but ever since we had that big crash and markets went down & failed to recover back to $70K or post a new all time high..tbh am nolonger a strong believer of "hodling " as this ties up your investment without taking out any profits as you try compounding to maximize your portfolio growth...with this tough lesson am now more of a take out any small profits out as they add up with time!

Best strategy for the bull run, is to accumulate your bitcoin using DCA method and also take advantage if the price of bitcoin when it dips to buy a good amount.
This is a good approach, but if you are fond of looking at charts on a daily basis you could actually have cold feet and not stick to the strategy  Roll Eyes
1739  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WEIRD BITCOIN CONVERSATIONS AT GATHERINGS - SHARE THE CRAZIEST STATEMENTS MADE on: August 29, 2023, 06:48:09 AM
Things I always hear people say when it comes to internet scams is , someone introduced me to bitcoin and promised to double my money by the end of the month but before you know it they lose everything after the investment....which is crazy, and when I think about it, I always wonder how these guys allow this to happen because buying bitcoin doesn't need another person to broker such a deal and later on lose your investment..

Rule of thumb I'd always that if you are going into unfamiliar territory always do your research to expect the unexpected!!
1740  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hong Kong officially launches its first Bitcoin and crypto trading platform on: August 28, 2023, 10:32:17 PM
Its long overdue for a highly technological country!!! Btw, this works in bitcoins favor as sooner or later other countries around the world will feel left out in this fintech adoption, and will be forced to accommodate cryptocurrencies with a favorable regulatory framework..which translates into demand for crypto.

Am just hoping China won't be knocking on Hong Kongs doors in trying to dictate how they should be running the country or using their financial freedom because we have seen how these guys tried to suppress their freedoms some few months back.
