1761  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An Indian boy committed suicide after losing money by Betting in IPL on: November 13, 2020, 11:08:21 PM
...The boy probably went through a mental stress and thought that everyone would be mad at him if they ever found out what he has done.

This is the sad thing about this. People don't need to be hard on themselves when they made these selfish mistakes, that is why we have these consequences so we can learn from them, not run from them. I don't blame the teenager for this, I just hope that people should try to strengthen themselves especially in these kinds of situations.
But the one who committed suicide is just a boy. He still doesn't know much about that, as he said, he probably thought that everyone will be mad at him or what. He borrowed money from his friend and try to take back his losses but lose all of it, in this case, a boy with a very young mind will probably face a mental stress and cannot think right.

The current status of my portfolio is getting worse. Most of my crypto is disappearing fast due to the needs I need to provide not only to myself but to my family. Though, I can finally be able to start again, there are still a lot of struggles like natural disasters and so on.
1763  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Pain of bounty hunters on: November 12, 2020, 10:10:09 PM
The reason why they can easily blame the bounty hunters is because we don't have a voice. There is no one who can communicate directly to them, whatever the blame they say to bounty hunters, there will be no response coming from hunters. Most of the time, blaming bounty hunters is the way of the project team to easily abandon the project, they say that the price have no future because bounty hunters already dump the price.
1764  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does Name really matter in crypto? on: November 12, 2020, 02:04:40 PM
Yes, name do really matter in crypto. Not in terms of using it as basis whether the project will succeed or not but it serves as the identity of the project. The name will serve for every investors to remember about he certain project. Without having the name or having a useless name will not make them remember it easily or the investors will not spend any of their time learning about the target of the project
1765  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: UPS AND DOWNS IN BOUNTY ACTIVITIES on: November 11, 2020, 05:59:50 PM
My suggestion, build your knowledge and move to the services section for quality campaigns
the altcoin bounty section is highly unpredictable.
I do agree, but newbies needs to at least increase their rank or earn merits. Most of the time, campaigns in services section requires merit to become part of the campaign. They also hire only higher ranks starting from sr - legendary or only hero/legendary to promote the campaign. It will take a lot of time but as long as they are dedicated to rank up, they will actually do it.
1766  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino workers forced into unpaid leave on: November 10, 2020, 09:53:37 AM
There is nothing wrong or weird with what they are doing. It is called cost cutting. They are not capable of paying their employees because of our current situation so they don't have any other choice but to do that. In any part of the world is doing the same thing to avoid more losses, it is not new in the business industry, even casino has been doing it to save their business for their own future.
1767  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did anyone try to "gamble" with ponzi scheme crypto scam services? on: November 10, 2020, 09:07:42 AM
I think I do not need to explain what I mean by ponzi crypto scam. Every week I see at least ten new ponzi scheme scams.

They often offer something like 100% interest per 24h (or something similar). They commonly run for quite a few weeks (or months sometimes) before "they go scam" publicly. The obvious idea how to exploit them is to invest something small at the first day, withdraw it as fast as possible and repeat just with the interests from the previous bet (and of course take some money away from every successful round).

Has anyone tried that? Have you been successful? Is this kind of gambling popular/common. Has it name?

I haven't even try to do that. It is really hard to risk your money in ponzi scam, even if you intended to withdraw it as fast as possible, we will not be able to know when they will run with the money you just invested. Sometimes even if they just started running the ponzi scam,they will immediately run all the money they will get. They won't waste any more time to wait when it comes to money.

1769  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do some people stop their crypto project? on: October 29, 2020, 10:15:39 PM
There are lots of reasons behind it,
It is possible that the project have really no intention of achieving their goals or most likely a fake or a scam project. It is also possible that the project cannot attract more investors as they have expected that's why even if you see them as a good project, they cannot proceed because of lack of investors/supporters.
1770  Economy / Economics / Re: PayPal to allow cryptocurrency buying, selling and shopping on its network on: October 29, 2020, 09:33:13 PM
This is what the first transaction of buying bitcoin with PayPal looks like:



Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire hinted that the function is now available for a limited number of persons.
It looks like the local wallet that we are using, but since paypal is using by people around the world, this is a great news to the crypto community. This will make their users to easily buy and store bitcoin since there are some country who are having a hard time buying or they directly buy in the exchange before they can withdraw it in their own btc wallet.
1771  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Questions for our dear project promoters on: October 29, 2020, 01:09:31 PM
For all promoters which one would you prefer?

1. Project promoters (bounty hunters) should start fighting for themselves, if some projects become successful and still plan to ignore or refuse to pay bounty hunters they should take the fight and spread how untrust able the project can be over the internet.

2. Promoters should face the bounty manager and make him or her strife for promoters rewards

3. Promoters should stop promoting bounty projects that doesn't implement escrow payment
Of course I prefer to stop promoting bounty projects with no escrows. Working with escrow is safe without worrying whether the project will pay or not. Number 1 and 2 is actually the common scenario in bounty campaigns where they always try yo spread negativity about that certain scam project or they will make the bounty manager to take responsibility by asking him to talk to the project developer.
1772  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Half bread is better than none on: October 28, 2020, 11:42:46 PM
Altcoins are really scary, if you can do some research you will see many good altcoins that had very good start and value in 2018 and are still alive today but we never heard anything good from them anymore for some reasons, they are now like ghosts, honestly altcoin investment is more scary, this is why its better to always take profit, most especially from new altcoins, Profit is Profit, either big or small.
Yes, that's why we should really be careful when choosing an altcoin, it is better to take risk in new altcoins that are promising than those old altcoins without any updates on the project or any development. Their prices will likely decline in the long run. Unlike in new project, there are possibilities that it will boom any moment once you have found a good altcoin.
1773  Economy / Economics / Re: In COVID-19 everyone needs motivation on: October 28, 2020, 11:05:51 PM
I think this is every worst situation for all, especially those who are suffering from the pandemic, so we have one option that is to find a way to turn it into positive.
 Many died as well, lost our jobs, our businesses and everything, so we really couldn't say it's a blessing. But in this condition, we should just look forward and think about of next-generation future. otherwise, our upcoming generation will also suffer as now we are facing

Even before Corona Virus is labeled as a Pandemic Crisis, most people in third world countries are suffering from the loss of jobs and food to eat. This pandemic further crushes these people who already had it bad. Motivation is not enough (i guess?) for most people since what they need is help from someone or even from the government. Lets just hope that most governments would follow the example of New Zealand since they are one of the best countries that has mitigated the outbreak.
That's true, motivation is not enough but it can help everyone to move forward and think positive that there is a bright tomorrow waiting for everyone. About the help from the government, I think it is provided, it is just not enough to help each and every one of their citizen. The same in our country, that is one of the problem since not anyone received help from the government due to not having enough funds for that program.
1774  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trust newbies that starts projects? on: October 28, 2020, 03:06:35 PM
Do you trust newbies that starts projects?
There are two types of newbies that starts projects.
1. Newbie with "Copper member" tag.
2. Newbie without "Copper member" tag.

When a newbie without "Copper member" tag manage a project then that project is much more likely to be a scam. So I personally don't. participate in that project.

When a newbie with "Copper member" tag manage a project then that project can be trusted somewhat. And you can participate in some such projects after making your own research about it.
I advice you not to base only on that copper mebership. Even with copper membership as long as the one who handles the project is a newbie, it is much risky. Copper membership is only being bought to allow newbie members to post an image for the project. Participating in known or those reputable managers is better than wasting time on possible scam projects.
1775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Just a Question... on: October 27, 2020, 10:19:07 PM
Discord is more friendly and open, I much prefer to a few other platforms.   Telegram might be better for brief communication but discord is more of a community regular experience.
So basically, to sum it all, Discord is much better than TELEGRAM? (based on the comments here in this thread) I rarely use Discord that's why I don't know, if I happened to use it, it's because I'm playing a certain team game, I really find this platform just like Twitch.

And besides I haven't encountered that many projects that requires to use Discord, so that's also the reason why I didn't bother being a Mod there.
For gathering gamers that might be the possible players for gambling site, Yes, gamers are everywhere in discord. It is better since the majority of users of discord is gamers. Unlike in telegram, it is more on discussion which includes gaming activity.
1776  Economy / Economics / Re: The pandemic did push the world towards a more digital age. on: October 27, 2020, 09:21:46 PM
I certainly agree with basically everything you stated above.  I think the pandemic brought on a much quicker move to a "digital world" where as if it hadn't happened, it would have probably taken another 5-10 years to get to where it's headed.  Brick and mortar type stores were already on their way out, just like many things done physically such as cash.  Credit cards, paypal, bitcion, and every other type of digital payment form have only grown from all of this.
Yes it becomes the reason for all people to become closer to the digital world. Aside from your given example that people started using digital payments, we can also see most countries do online classes. It means that even those old people started using technology wherein they can't use it before. But since they don't have any other choice, they tried to learn just to continue teaching.
1777  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Airdrops Confusion on: October 27, 2020, 11:49:18 AM
I think that kind is the typical airdrops nowadays, they are requiring some registration process or something with referral activities.
Airdrop should be the same with faucet or at least only need to join the telegram group or follow social medias.
My point is, airdrop should be created without bothersome requirements so everyone have fair chance to get free coins and tokens.

Yes, it becomes the common scenario nowadays compared to what airdrops that we have experienced before. Old airdrops are just really giving away their coins without asking the participants to do anything like sharing in social media or what. But right now, airdrop campaigns are taking advantage of the bounty hunters, requiring them to do a certain task in exchange of a valueless airdrop coin.
1778  Economy / Economics / Re: Why has crypto failed to break through still? on: October 26, 2020, 09:44:55 AM
Why are governments still in control of the money printing process? how has cryptocurrency failed to make a dent?
Are we as a community too scared to challenge the status quo?
The reason is that, it is part of the government's job or simply they have the power to control the money printing process. Not ours and not even the cryptocurrency. It is not part of the scope of crypto because it is already outside of its capability. I don't know exactly what you are talking about making a dent but if you are looking for the progress of crypto, you should know it if you truly know what is crypto.
1779  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which cryptocurrencies have the lowest transaction fees? on: October 26, 2020, 09:19:49 AM
I think it's doge, it's transaction fee is cheaper compared to any altcoin in the market. But this is only being used to do transactions like transferring funds to another. On withdrawing funds, I am using xrp, it is also cheap but not as cheap as doge. It is just I can easily convert it to fiat in our local wallet, its transaction fee is also instant that's why it is good.
1780  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe NBA is rigged? on: October 22, 2020, 09:58:31 PM
Heat did everything but I think ref somehow help them to win games, if there's a good call, Lakers could finish the heat in 4, we've seen it but sometimes best players are going to be out of rhythm if the calls are all against them, just like what Davis experience, he also had some off games in the series.

I think not. On those 2 games where the Heat won, try to check the foul call stats at each team and we can say no involvement of referees to that just to increase the chance of Miami Heat winning on that games.

I also expected a sweep but after watching the whole series, we have seen how positive Heat players to avoid being swept. And that's a 4-1 if only Danny Green
able to hit that supposed open big clutch shot on Game 5.
Indeed, it is a clean fight between the both teams. However, we all know that there are some instances that referees di really have their favorable team which they will give a lot of advantages of the game.

And to answer OP, no it is not. As I said, there are only times that the referee will have a favorable team but it doesn't mean that the whole NBA games are rigged.
