1741  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: January 18, 2023, 10:57:24 PM
Rollbit is big casino so for sure they have big plans on RLB, maybe we cannot see that these days or on faster timeline other expect but for sure their are big plan on it. Listing on Ccex might come up soon as this could really add some good boot to them once they can successfully do that.
I wonder how much the price RLB in the next 6-12 months after it's get listed on centralized exchange, because it will show the fair value of the token price. Right now RLB token price is surge, it's similar like the other casino token that has been exist since long time. However the other casino token doesn't improving at all and still remain on the same position, it's really interesting if RLB can survive for long considering Rollbit is really following the hype.

You really should not compare different business models in order to determine the success of the coin/token. RLB might not be like the others and it might surprise us. But that depends on if RLB has anything behind it generating value. And the more expansive this value generation is, the higher the speculative price will be. However having said that, how often do we see unicorns (As in rare booms on the market, like tokens that go x100 in value)? It does not happen very often so your best bet is, if you were considering investing, at least not to put all your eggs in one basket.
1742  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Proof of stake is bad and why bitcoin is the only crypto I would trust on: January 18, 2023, 08:51:39 PM
Why I think proof of stake is bad and bitcoin is the only true decentralized crypto. Everything else is a scam as we have seen with so many major altcoins imploding over the years. Anyone else agree?

1. Proof of stake tokens such as ethereum can be generated out of thin air in unlimited amounts. The creators can give themselves as much as they want and dump it onto the market whenever they want. Proof of stake is no better than the fiat money system where money can be printed by the central bank in unlimited amounts.

2. As we have seen over the years maybe 90 to 95% of crytpo scams have been perpetrated on the ethereum blockchain.

3. That is why proof of work is so much better. It takes a lot of work and effort to mine the bitcoins. Bitcoin cannot be simply generated out of thin air like ethereum and other sh*tcoins. Ethereum and 99% of altcoins are unregistered securities. The SEC and CFTC have both stated bitcoin is the only digital asset recognized as a commodity in the United States. Everything else are unregistered securities.

4. Bitcoin is the only crypto I can think of that doesn't have a leader or small group of people controlling it, which makes bitcoin perhaps the only digital asset that is really trustless. Ethereum has Vitalik Buterin, Cardano has Charles Hoskinson, Terra Luna had Do Kwon, etc. You have to trust that these people will not one day decide to steal all your money and run.

There are probably many other reasons why I believe proof of stake is terrible but these are a few I can think of right now.



Proof of stake isn't necessarily bad. Its just bad for Bitcoin. PoS would not only centralize Bitcoin but it would take away everything that makes Bitcoin Bitcoin. Now for altcoins, sure PoS can work quite well because thats what was envisioned. That does not make every PoS altcoin a scam. But it makes it possible for any PoS to become a scam. But nobody envisioned Bitcoin to be Proof of Stake. And I am strongly against PoS for Bitcoin. It is not an improvement and the only motivation for implementing PoS is the negative impact on the environment as the byproduct of electricity generation. And PoW needs a lot of electricity.

Some people point the finger at mining because it consumes electricity, which pollutes our planet, the more we generate it. But the real problem is the dirty way we generate our electricity, not the amount of electricity miners require.

I am happy to announce me and my team are developing couple of table games , that will be played versus player and multi player tournaments , a public chat room for players:
more information will be released , we are building it around a Defi Token project for it to get enough publicity for the games platform.

Sounds great. But player vs player brings a lot more complexity to the game than only single player. What kind of games will you be introducing? Skill based or luck based? Or perhaps a hybrid of both?

I would love a challenge which is not only luck based but has a skill based component to it. But you cannot make a 100% skill based game since it would be too easy to cheat by simply writing a few lines of code to automate an algorithmic process which, like in chess, wins every time against humans.

We will be waiting for your future updates! Good luck!

1745  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Poll: What percent of your portfolio is stored in Bitcoin/Crypto on: January 17, 2023, 06:51:43 PM
I am putting all my eggs into (mostly only) one basket. So 80% of my crypto portfolio is Bitcoin. I do like day-trading with altcoins using self-custodial wallets and DeFI so I have some maybe 20% aside in the second, somewhat smaller basket. I do not like having traditional investments like stocks because in my country they make the entire stock buying process a bureaucratically hellish experience and I am too lazy for that.

(Tip: The biggest investment risk with crypto is storing your crypto in third party custody wallets, like exchange wallets. Avoid those kinds of custodial wallets and you will be fine.)

You should consider first and foremost that Casinos are a business and the bonuses and rewards they offer are meant as marketing tactics, not a business transaction. So I am not sure about how legally binding the payout responsibilities are for bonuses or which bonus agreement details (in the TOS) you go into when you sign up an account on Sportsbet, but I think they do not want to give you a bonus because they would be losing a lot of money. Especially since you bet such large amounts and there is no point in wasting marketing funds when the profits do not justify the losses.

But again, I am no lawyer and have no idea what terms you agreed to with your sportsbet account.
1747  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde on: January 17, 2023, 05:43:50 PM
Anthony Yarde may hold the commonwealth light-heavyweight title but thats compared to Artur Beterbiev and his WBC, WBA and IBF light-heavyweight belts. Yarde himself said that he seeks redemption against Artur. But I doubt that will be enough motivation and will-power to actually defeat Beterbiev. The only people that say Yarde is going to be victorious are saying so out of nationalistic pride. Its quite clear to anyone that Anthony stands no chance against Artur.

We will probably see a nice KO. Easy winning bet, in my eyes.
1748  Other / Off-topic / Re: Can any one set up a Blockchain Court of Justice ? on: January 17, 2023, 03:31:18 AM
It will be great if some one help me by setting up a Blockchain Court of Justice ?  I think the legal matter and Justice need the decentralized, non government Blockchain Court of Justice, where any one and every can cast their verdict as Jury  after reading the case submitted by the Victims.

How would you even attempt to decentralize justice? Even with our most modern first world justice, we still see problems like condemning the wrong people. And the laws cannot be interpreted exactly the same for every situation. And every situation is unique. So this is why we need a human judge to make a ruling.

Although if you were to ask me, I do not see the use of Blockchain in justice. I would prefer to decentralize everything possible. I am not against decentralization. I just don't see blockchain as the solution.

Maybe you could store past case information on a blockchain?
1749  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Influencers, affiliate links and scams on: January 16, 2023, 07:53:27 PM
I will never be able to understand the thinking behind the minds of people who listen to influencers who tell them how to live and how to spend their money. How much of a mindless sheep does one have to be to let someone take control of your finances and your life like that? And the only reason being that they are famous, (usually for nonsense reasons) does not provide me or anyone else with reassurance that the influencer knows what he/she is doing. That is not something that should inspire people into throwing away all they have.

Why not trust in the advice of someone who has years of experience with investing?

I guess some people have too much money...

Understanding the market movements is not an easy task and not everyone can do it. It is important to remember that if you want to make sure that you could make a profit, then you should also realize how the market moves. At first it may look like bitcoin went up and some other token you were holding didn't and this may upset you.

However, if you know the market then you know that bitcoin leads it, meaning it doesn't go up to hurt others, it goes up to lead the others to do the same. Now, is there a chance other tokens may not follow bitcoins movements? Of course it could happen, but there is a greater chance that they will usually follow after a while.
of course it takes expertise to be able to analyze the market usually experience in crypto for so long can make someone an expert to analyze prices, after all everyone knows that bitcoin is the father of all crypto but sometimes tokens and other crypto always want to replace bitcoin while they are just a child kid and just born yesterday bitcoin has been around for so long that nothing can replace it so everyone has to follow the price of bitcoin because most crypto markets have pairs on BTC
Anyone can predict the market even the non-experts and they still can predict it right if they get lucky while there are experts who still can fail no matter what they do. To become an expert is not easy but one must build an adequate experience first. This was still better than having less or no experience at all because it allows us to be familiar on some things pertaining to the crypto market.

Not everyone knows that BTC is the father because if it's true then they shouldn't look for other coins and then they will start on BTC first not in those shitcoins. Those coins who are still new or small are too ambitious if they have plans of replacing Bitcoin. A much older and better coin didn't even have that mindset.

Predicting the market? Are you talking about the kind of prediction one could reach with looking at a candle chart and using technical analysis to figure out the direction that the price is headed? Because thats still not really technically possible. Sure, with market research and hours of work, you could improve the probability that you guess the right direction but in the end, there are always unknowable and hidden variables which cannot be known. Like the FTX scam case. Who would have thought it would happen? And even harder to predict: when it would happen?

Predicting the market (or attempting to) is basically gambling. If you believe in your investment, you do not need to flip flop between buying and selling.
1751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Criteria of a good gambler on: January 16, 2023, 06:32:14 PM
Thats quite the interesting list you made there, OP. But unfortunately I would have to argue with you on the grounds that everyone is only human and will make newbie mistakes in gambling. The idea of a "good gambler" does not really exist. Although I would agree that if people were to follow your points, it would lead them to lose less money. But whether because of an emotional outburst, getting too greedy, believing in superstitious luck or some other reason, at some point in time, even the most experienced gambler will make a rash decision which will definitely lead to a great loss of money.

1752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction touched forum users in a very sad way... on: January 15, 2023, 08:29:45 PM
Scammers like to blame other people or things for their behavior. As if it excuses them. Maybe it was because of gambling maybe (and most likely) it was not. If were were to excuse these actions as the result of a real sickness, like addiction, then we are basically forgiving them for what they did. I do not think that is a good idea. No sympathy for criminals.

There is never an excuse for stealing from other people. This whole "gambling addiction" spin is a pile of horsecrap.

I hope he gets what he deserves.

I just now saw this thread! What a dark day in the history of Bitcoin.


I am really sorry to anyone that this happened to and hopefully you can all receive the proper justice, as with the FTX case. It saddens me to think that people are still so small minded or desperate as to become scammers or thieves.

I hope their addresses are reported and perhaps the thief is dumb enough to try to move their stolen loot unto an exchange which monitors scam reports and will freeze his account.

People are going to see Bitcoin in a worse light now, all because of Bitcoin-related scams which seem to be happening very often. And worse how this will effect the Bitcointalk community.

1754  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - 🦉 Drake, UFC, Everton Main Partner ⚽ 🥊 on: January 14, 2023, 08:37:22 PM
I made 181,000 bets, so I can exclude to add up the result of 181,000 bets manually.

Unfortunately, based on the law of large numbers your sample seize should be at least 100,000 bets.

Remember, there is almost no deviation only after 1 million attempts.

Yes, I also decided that too, which is why I said this method will only give you an imprecise number. You would need more data for a precise result. But you could write code which scrapes the website's data and spits out the calculation as you gamble.

It is not worth doing. I agree that such a built in function on the website itself would be worth it.

The question is why is not such a built in function available for players while Stake has it?



In fact, I cannot find such a function either.

Perhaps Stake will read these posts and implement the function? Or perhaps, more likely, Stake already has such a function and we were not able to find it on the website. Either way I think they take their customers complaints/recommendations seriously like any serious business. And since they have made an announcement thread here on Bitcointalk, I am sure they will be monitoring their communities needs and wants.

It is still quite a decent online gambling casino. I have not yet heard any complaints or accusations made against them all these years....

I honestly hope that there are no cheaper entrees anymore for them who where not willing to buy at 70-80% down.

I sunk a nice piece of change back in btc mining gear. More than an entire btc.
I used a cc. Got 15 months interest free. Did buys of miners in sept oct nov dec and jan.

I also got three dips in Nov and a Nov DCA every Friday.


So far so good. Be nice to see a true rally say 30k and then a nice flat strech.

You think that was a good idea? Whats that saying about not investing money that you do not have?



FTFY

1758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 13, 2023, 08:17:42 PM
It is remarkable that Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig played against each other in a friendly today. By this I mean the fact that they will also face each other again at the end of the month before the competition. Today was just an exhibition game, with no less than 8 goals and a final score of 4-4. RB Leipzig led me t1-3, but how seriously can we take the results of friendly matches? I don't have the lineup at hand, but I don't think Bayern Munich played with the strongest lineup today.

I would not take friendly matches too seriously because I am sure that however good Bayern or Leipzig may play, that's not their usual, serious gameplay. I am quite sure they do not take the friendly matches as seriously either. There is nothing to be gained or won as there is in a real match.

Although if you were to ask me then obviously Bayern Munich would probably win against RB Leipzig if they played seriously in a real match against each other. We definitely would not see 4-4.

I think friendly matches have a reason for being called so. Maybe Bayern went a bit softer for pre-planned relation/marketing purposes?

edit : the video is working now

Congratulations! But please keep in mind that gambling (any game in any and every online or offline gambling casino) is never skill but only luck (which is probability). If you go into gambling with the mindset of "I can improve something about myself in order to keep winning more often" then at some point you WILL be very disappointed and sad.

So be careful!

Having said that, I wish I doubled my winnings that fast! Cheesy Must have been an awesome feeling to beat the odds like that. Good for you!

well my Friday DCA hit so that makes for 12 Friday's in a row.

New miner arrived today so I will set it up later today.

Looking for more miners soon.

Mine should have hit at 17.2k I just logged in and discovered that I put in a buy order for 25% of what should have been 100%.

So...Missed out on this pump. Thanks OBAMA
