1741  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 26 days to the halving left, what are you expecting? on: April 18, 2020, 11:35:45 AM
Nothing happens during halvings. If there is to be an effect it starts in the following year.
Just exactly on what I thought. Well based from history, changes follow up the next year after the halving occur. What really certain right now is that we are totally clueless, zero ideas what possible circumstances might occur right away the halving specially in this time of crisis. Though there are too much hype with the incoming but that doesn't mean everything would go upward, people have prepared a long time before halving. Anyway, with the current market approaching the day everyone were looking for, as I see market would stay stagnant at $7k till that day, no suprising pump.

The rapid growth in price occurs after the bitcoin halving as shown by graphs after last two halving but the period before halving is also characterized by gradual increase. Bitcoin has rarely decreased in price before the first two halvings, so the situation now is a bit different but bitcoin at the moment is in increasing trend and I believe it would continue even to and after the halving.

These emails are circulating for a while now. A couple of years ago I received a similar email claiming they have a video of myself masturbating in front of my laptop while watching porn. People could have sent them some bitcoin in fear. For me, I've now put a tape over the webcam to not to suffer any mental stress in the future.

Looks like the corona virus will affect cryptocurrency too, I think that price will fall a lot, because people will need money and will sell Crypto, what are your thoughts about that?

No direct correlation between the pandemic and the price movements in crypto market. In fact, the people in crypto space has already gotten over the panic selling of essential stuff including few crypto assets as we all prefer to have cash in our hands in this dire situation. The market is slowly recovering now, maybe because of the halving that turns optimistic people to buy again at the lowest possible figure.
As the number of infected people grow, I didn't notice any relevant movements of the price over the last few days.

Most people have bought bitcoin and crypto as an investment. Though some of the unfortunate may need to sell their coins due to financial situations, most have crypto as one of the ways of saving and investment. Most people would get through with what they have and won't sell the coins on loss as it's a market that can correct faster than any other.
1744  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the dream of crazy on: April 18, 2020, 04:55:11 AM
Lucky you. I always regret for not holding my coins back than. I dream, only if I had left some coins on a wallet and forgot about it and would find it back someday. But once done cannot be undone. I transacted a lot of coins when the price was around $200. It has now increased by 50 times but I was not holding a single coin on that transition. Hope no one would repeat my mistake. I won't either.
1745  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How is the Binance Family Doing? on: April 17, 2020, 04:12:04 PM
36+ month and just 12 IEOs, that's less than 1 every 3 months. Binance has been very selective on the IEO they host and that has also paid off till now. With such patience and gradual progression, Binance has been moving forward leading the crypto community. The change in buy back strategy of BNB has hurt the price of the coin a bit but overall, it's in a rising trend.
1746  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Coinmarketcap or Coingecko? on: April 17, 2020, 03:36:40 PM
I'm used to coinmarketcap and knows where I can get the things I needed. They load faster and are on top on google searches for coin. I visit coingecko for coins that are not listed on coinmarketcap and they provide lesser info that what coinmarketcap provides. Both of them are improving and coingecko is trying hard to be more advanced than cmc but with the binance acquisition, we can expect further improvement in cmc.
1747  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: First Glance of China's Digital Currency on: April 17, 2020, 12:25:26 PM

China has a leadership and structure that can execute everything swiftly. They are technologically advanced and when they want something done, they get it done. They don't have to think about passing the project and amending or creating the laws, passing the bills or anything. They just can do it in a one single act. The current response is for controlling the virus. But it's still not clear if it has anything to do with blockchain.
1748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crowded Casinos - Play or not? on: April 17, 2020, 02:35:52 AM
It is fun to play within a casino that is full of people because you can witness the fun and excitement that everyone feels while they are playing joyfully into the variety of games they play. But playing into a crowded casino, I think will not be ideal to me because I still do care into having comfort while playing in a casino even though there are lots of people, still spaces must be provided to allot a free moving space so that you can easily go in and out of the place whenever you want with no hassle. Also, not over crowded places can help into the proper ventilation of the place to keep the place cool and fresh to give comfort for the players inside the casino. I would rather play in an online casino if that's the case of a crowded casino to play because I cannot play with comfort into crowded spaces where I cannot move freely
I  like what you have said regarding to not to crowded place to gamble, since most of the time your concentrations got distracted once there are lots of people around you not unlike with not too crowded place where you can relax and play without any distractions.
Much more with online, you can play with the comfort of your place you can do anything and express your enjoyment without thinking of someone might be distracted because of you.
So it means people are wants to gamble to the casino gambling who are comfortable place not crowded area.
Many casinos are good to play and most of them are player can relax that no one is distracting them.
I don't see any excitement at this moment once you saw a gambling casino are corwded because also the coronavirus for you will avoid to play there.

Being in a crowded place is unhygienic and corona gives it one more reason.
When you are in a crowded casino, you feel like you are not getting enough attention while you are spending your money. The experience would not be worth it. This is the reason why more and more people feel comfortable gambling alone in front of their screens.
1749  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does Libra still pose a threat to Bitcoin? on: April 17, 2020, 12:39:40 AM
Libra never posed a threat to bitcoin. Even the leading person for the Calibra project, David Marcus clearly stated that on his tweets to clear the confusion. Libra was supposed to be a global currency for the facebook platform oriented around advertising. Bitcoin on the other hand does not compete with Libra on that.

If you are keeping your life savings and are holding it for long term, it would be wise not to take a risk with any third party wallet.
If you can afford, a hardware wallet comes with a guide how to securely keep your coins on the hardware wallet and if not, go for official wallet and print your private key.
1751  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Google has removed 49 cryptocurrency wallet browser extensions! Good move? on: April 16, 2020, 12:44:11 PM
Google has removed 49 cryptocurrency wallet browser extensions after a security researcher discovered they were stealing private keys. These Chrome extensions targeted users of crypto wallets, such as Ledger, Trezor.

What do you think of this move?


They were not the legit wallet but malicious extensions that looked like the original wallet but were a fake to steal private keys and coins of unsuspecting users. People installing these extensions for using it on dapps and dex were their target. No one would hesitate to input their private key in myetherwallet or tronlink but they don't realize its a fake one as it looks just the same.

Completed the 48 hours fast.
We made it through. The first thing that filled our otherwise digital time was food. We as a family had greater social interactions and all of it was like a camping inside home.
1756  Other / Off-topic / Lockdown, a great time for digital fast on: April 12, 2020, 02:55:31 AM
What is digital fast?

Giving up all digital devices for a short period of time, such as a day or up to a week.

Why digital fast?


There are many reasons why you might want to give up your mobile phone and other devices for a brief time. You might want to enjoy time to yourself without the interference that your phone and other devices create. In other cases, you might feel like your device use has become excessive and is adding too much stress to your life.

In some situations, you might even feel like you are addicted to your devices. While technology addiction is not formally recognized as a disorder in the DSM-5, many experts believe that tech and device overuse represents a very real behavioral addiction that can lead to physical, psychological, and social problems.

Signs You Might Need a Digital Detox


  • You feel anxious or stressed out if you can't find your phone
  • You feel compelled to check your phone every few minutes
  • You feel depressed, anxious, or angry after spending time on social media
  • You are preoccupied with the like, comment, or reshare counts on your social posts
  • You’re afraid that you'll miss something if you don't keep checking your device
  • You often find yourself staying up late or getting up early to play on your phone
  • You have trouble concentrating on one thing without having to check your phone

Reference: https://www.verywellmind.com/why-and-how-to-do-a-digital-detox-4771321

I'm going on a 48 hours digital fast starting from the time of this post. I'll not be using any electric or electronic devices including electric lights, digital heating/cooling, digital cooking device, switching off both electricity mains and phone/router connection.
I know It may seem extreme, but I need to make sure I'm in control of myself.

5G signals lies in between 600MHz to 86000MHz, i.e. in both radio wave and microwave frequencies, greater frequency than radio and TV signals but lesser than visible light.

1758  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Keypoint to watch in D-34 BTC halving: Miner's hashrate on: April 10, 2020, 03:35:34 PM
Hashrate is not a direct measure of bitcoin price but an increase in hashrate mostly means positive prediction from the miners. The generated bitcoins don't increase with the increasing hashrate and increasing hashrate means decreasing reward for the miners. Halving is another event that about halves the miners profit, if the price doesn't increase, the miners may go into loss after a halving.
1759  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin antifragile? on: April 10, 2020, 11:17:00 AM
No doubt crypto has became much more useful on every catastrophic situation locally or globally. The price is mostly decided by the market and on such situation, people would try to have as much cash in hand as possible to tackle the situation. The price decrease is not due to the nature of bitcoin. There's only one thing that could make bitcoin fragile and that is internet. The total dependence of bitcoin blockchain on the current internet may make it fragile when there are say a number of internet to choose from.

Hello guys and I hope you are all safe in your homes.

Ethan of Yolodice just opened the investment service once again.
Here is the link.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1674772.msg54188239#msg54188239

Quoted the message for the lazy ones. Just like me.  Grin
So, finally the investing is open again!
one-week 0% dilution fee

Yep, I've enabled investing a few minutes ago.

1. Right now you can invest in BTC, LTC and DOGE. ETH is coming soon.

2. Commission is based on wagered amounts (expected profit), not pure profit. The commission is 50% of the expected profit, so it's 0.5 BTC from every 100 BTC wagered (it's 0.5% of the wagered amount) is taken from the bankroll "live" (as bets happen). This means
  - no "commission runs" - the commission is taken in real time, which means your investments value is what you get when you close it,
  - if players lose more than "expected 1% of wagered", it's investors' gain

3. There will be new "dilution fee" of 1% or 2% (still not decided), but it will be enabled in a week (on 2020-04-16). If you invest now, you pay 0% dilution fee, but you'll receive your dilution profit from all investments opened after 2020-04-16.

4. There is no "leverage"  this time - the amount you invest translates directly to your share. It's so much simpler now.

5. During the competitions we'll pause your investments so that we can do "50% of site profit goes to prize pool".

Take care and cheers!
Ethan

Enjoy guys and have a safe quarantine. Don't forget to smile even with all the problems.

It's a good news that yolo has again started accepting bankroll. They were one of the most profitable investment with that kelly option.
There are other metrics that results in the rate of profit like how the investors are rewarded, the house edge, bankroll and volume of site.
For finding the best site to invest, study the total invested coin and total profit in somedays from https://dicesites.com/.
