1821  Economy / Economics / Re: "Be your own Bank with Bitcoin" - A reminder why this is so important! on: September 17, 2022, 11:04:09 PM
These incidents are eye openers for those people that have a lot of money in the bank, no one's money is safe there anymore.

People tend to forget that fiat money is basically IOU papers and they're usually the property of the central bank.

Money in the bank account is just a number. And a bank is a private business, hence they care about their business, not about you. While in EU there are now laws protecting the funds under certain limits, this is rather new, this is only in EU and even there... laws can change. Plus I will not even start with the crap they're doing lately because of crypto, hiding under the "in the name of KYC" blanket.

But as said, Bitcoin is also not perfect, since it's easy to steal and hide. This being said, being your own bank is, sadly, not for everybody.

However, with a bit of carefulness, Bitcoin is clearly superior. And being your own bank certainly gives a nice feeling Smiley
Well said.

AFAIK, most of the banks have their limits and will guarantee a protection and insurance for the depositors but that's not a lot. But for small time depositors, that's already big.

It's better to have that hold of your own money these days. Although no doubt that we still need cash but, don't save all of your money in the bank because this can happen at anytime that they won't allow depositors to withdraw due to economic and business reasons.

It's been happening in many countries that are tightening the procedure of the withdrawals of their depositors. This can also happen but for those that don't hold their own private keys, their bitcoins.

Those bitcoins that are deposited in the exchanges and even how hard we're campaigning that everyone should hold their keys. There are still people that are leaving their bitcoins in exchanges.

These incidents are eye-openers for those people that have a lot of money in the bank, no one's money is safe there anymore.
This has been a scenario for bank users who have been involved in serious crimes. Their accounts are being frozen and locked and they couldn't access their funds anymore. Banks always want to take control of our finances so we should be wise about where to store them. Bitcoin has been giving us a better privilege on where we could keep our funds safer.
But sadly, even the innocent ones are being held and stopped for their withdrawals. This is what centralization is all about, even how badly you need the money, your money.

If they have some procedures to be done and for some reasons, they're halting everyone's withdrawal, you can't skip it even you have no issues against them.

Definitely, it's actually one of the first industries that has adopted accepting payments for their deposits.

If you happen to be looking for a sports bookie to bet with, try playbetr. As your question has been answered already OP. It's now time for you to lock the topic.

Welcome to bitcointalk!

Just like what's stated, it's becoming more into this niche that we're seeing each day. I guess it's really profitable and these people have seen how the big bucks is into this type of marketing and niche.

Well, no offense but we all knew already how they're making bucks through these.

We agree that personal experience in a casino is the most valuable for determining its quality, reputation, etc. However, it would be hard for a single person to test numerous casinos to make a decision.
And that's how you're going to help your users. Well, that makes sense and those that I've seen are doing the same thing. But I think in your competition, whoever has got the best way of helping your users or customers will be the one to stay for long.
1824  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🏆 The Best BSC BNB Casinos | Gamble with your shitcoin profits 💩 on: September 16, 2022, 08:17:53 PM
aside from the fact that this is just an affiliate marketing service, I will like to point out that one of the many advantages of using BNB as a currency to gamble is that it has low fees and faster transaction time compared to other networks like Bitcoin.
It's the next alternative after Ethereum and that's why BSC has been performing well and has got a lot of tokens already. Also, those existing tokens, they've chosen to have a network on BSC and that's why we see aside from erc20, there are the tokens that also has BSC.

Yeah, it has lower fees and also faster when erc20 isn't that much.

The same with Ethereum, too many shitcoins.

This is just a one pager website that directs you when you click the link to the bottom of the page. I see that the fiat casinos are still coming soon.

There are many casinos here in the forum and you have missed a lot of them.

For one thing, what if the problem turns out to be much easier to contact support directly than using your service?
If we think the problem is easy, why will you waste time asking for their help when you can just troubleshoot it on your own?
AFAIK, I understand that this website isn't all about that help that someone has to face and they're there to help. But it's all about referral links and affiliate marketing. CMIIW.

It's not a silly bet.  Cool

Nigma won against Brame and so this bet of yours.

Not really though, it was 2-1 and my bet was a handicap bet so that one lost. Nigma was an inch away from losing the qualifiers again and at this rate, Im not even sure if they'll make it to top 3 though. Thinking of taking +1.5 on DGG against Nigma on the next one though, value is at 2.6 so thats a decent value considering how bad Nigma currently is
Missed that, sry.

Later, it's going to be known if DGG can handle Nigma and they'll prove us wrong which what happened to them against Team Liquid. It's still going to be a long way to go for Nigma since they're at the lower bracket. While for those teams at the top, upper bracket, they just have a few steps away from the grand finals.

Right now, it's Goonsquad and Team Liquid playing.

Awhile ago in the SEA qualifiers, T1 continues to prove their dominance but tomorrow, we'll see if Talon will stop them and we'll see who advances to the grand finals.
1828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: September 14, 2022, 07:09:08 PM
I guess it was only Team Liquid got the easiest wins against DGG. What a disappointing team on an upper bracket.

Considering that Team Liquid has the highest DPC points out of all the other teams, that shows that Team Liquid is far more stable in term of performances though so yeah it was a comfortable 2-0 for them.



Took this silly bet, which I shouldnt have just because I'd love to watch this game. This could be the last game for Nigma though if they lose, imagine having top players on your team but you are missing two TI in a row because the team is not functioning as it should be.
It's not a silly bet.  Cool

Nigma won against Brame and so this bet of yours. It could really be the last match that they've got since it's a 2-1 win. Next match will be against DGG esports.

The team that I was just talking about when Team Liquid got an easy win. Well, I don't want to belittle DGG on how they've lost easily to Team Liquid. But, maybe Nigma has got the better confidence with their match tomorrow.
1829  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Well! Bitcoin doesn't have this problem on: September 14, 2022, 06:13:21 PM
That has happened in China and too many depositors have been affected but they can't do anything against the bank and its government because they're all powerful there. And the citizens can't do nothing there even if how hard and badly they need the money.

News: China bank customers to get deposits back after protests
          In pics - Mass protest by bank depositors in China crushed by local authorities

IIRC, I've also seen some news about it in the Middle East but I can't find that specific news.
1830  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why isnt there a BTC browser wallet like Metamask on: September 14, 2022, 12:24:54 PM
Actually, there was one before and that's the greenaddress wallet. But eventually, they've stopped supporting it and made it as a desktop wallet.

But as said by many on this thread, there's a huge concern about security about it. Imagine those that have lost their ETH tokens because of connecting it to a website that they're about to invest, it's easy work for the scammers and hackers while them, giving that quick approval and confirmation that sometimes is the reason why they're scammed.
1831  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: September 13, 2022, 09:28:39 PM
I'm not sure if I should be even surprised about Nigma's poor performance. They threw away 11k lead and the game soon after. They are down to the losers bracket and it is considerably harder to get through qualification via the losers bracket. Every match is an elimination game and there are going to be quite a few of them.
Who was that again that says that upper bracket are just for the b*****s. Was that miracle that? So, I'm just thinking that they want it the harder way.

But no joking, goonsquad is also a strong team. And that's why teams in WEU aren't going to be easy as what the others might be thinking for these top teams.

They also struggle in facing those unknown teams but with experienced player on the side. I guess it was only Team Liquid got the easiest wins against DGG. What a disappointing team on an upper bracket.
1832  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SWEATCOIN on: September 13, 2022, 07:39:10 PM
what did you guys see about sweatcoin hype

will this last forever?Huh
That project is just for hype and the same with the stepn that have been able to give that craze for walk to earn. I guess just think about your fitness when you're able to sweat and thought that you'll make a lot from this coin.

I don't think that this coin is ever going to last longer because of what it has got. Project such as sweatcoin have been made just for people to make profit too quick but it's not going to be able to be continually supported by itself because models like this usually are just good during bull runs.
1833  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoin is already in the future, i've been hiding for too long on: September 13, 2022, 12:03:41 PM
I sold bitcoin last 2018 when it fell by almost $10,000/coin it made me fall. although today it looks bad too but it was better at that time. I'm sure the bitcoin price will come back like last year. I'm sorry for rejecting the reality and hiding. I forgot that there is nothing wrong with me starting as soon as possible.
There's nothing wrong with you because you're just one of the many that have sold during 2018 and even when it's at its lowest, like when it's reached $3k. I'm sure that too many have been hiding and don't tell anybody that they're one of those that has sold their whole bitcoins at that low price.

I want to know what is your attitude with the bitcoin price today? Cheesy
Don't be too emotional when you know the game already. Like if you've been here for many considering years of watching the market, up and down. As you've said, that it's better this time which I also think so there's no need for me to panic.

I'll just do what I've started and that's to hold and accumulate.
1834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: September 12, 2022, 11:59:05 PM
Props to Soniq for an amazing 3-0 against nouns. Gunnar and co. had that one in the bag. Close games too, but the carry is just.. not connecting with their minds at all.
Soniqs were beaten at the upper bracket with a 2-0 but still managed to get up beating Wild card gaming with a 2-0 series. That's like hell of a ride for them.

And then on the grand finals, won 3-0, all games against nouns. That's no mercy against nouns. Well, they still did well and they're still going in the TI but for the last chance.

No comment about their carry.  Lips sealed

Well, we're now going with the one of the best qualifiers then, the SEA and WEU qualifiers. SEA is about to start within 2 hours while for WEU, in 7-8 hours.
1835  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: It Is Dangerous To Completely Rely On Cryptocurrencies on: September 12, 2022, 11:02:23 PM
I understand that it's hard to depend on cryptocurrencies completely but to say that someone who's been relying on it then did the unexpected of taking his own life, I think that he's already out of his concscious mind and it has built with other problems aside from the fall of the market.

It's sad to see that it's just not this one on the news that have did this. But also those that have fell for the scam of Luna, we've seen those news that many of them have taken their lives too due to depression and frustration that they've taken.

In general, this isn't only in the crypto and it all comes into different forms from different industries which may be related to finance/money or not.
1836  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Things to keep in mind before accumulation of Bitcoin on: September 12, 2022, 10:04:28 PM
Following those whales alert, it will make you more emotional because it adds to that feeling of yours of being frightened that a whale has just moved a huge amount of bitcoin from his wallet to an exchange.

Although the possibility of selling it off is high but if it's taking your mental health which I think is really happening for some, you guys better stop following those alerts for your own sake.

As for the wallets, if the plan is to DCA and accumulate and to hold for long, aside from electrum, there should be the other wallets like wasabi and samourai and most likely, the hardware wallets - trezor & ledger.
1837  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best apps for sports betting tips on: September 11, 2022, 04:11:17 PM
The sport betting is common is most of the gambling websites,but only few are trusted with my knowledge.Finding the trust one is very hard,So I think OP had started this thread.People with good knowledge in sports can take part in sports betting.With my knowledge some of the sports betting are

1.Duelbits
2.Stake
3.Betplay.io
4.YAS.BET

All this are some how trusted one,So you can withdrawal money from it.The only way to win the game is,you need to play the game with some knowledge.If you play with out knowledge in sports bet,it’s hard to win any game.Need to analysis the game with some sound knowledge.
Well, don't forget about playbetr if someone out there is looking for a place to bet in sports.

But, the topic isn't all about the sports betting websites but all about the tips that we usually see from someone random dropping to a thread or making his/her own thread putting his sports betting tips and picks.

I saw a lot of players waiting for the tips of their friends and seen in the different communities well there's a chance it is right but again if they are not part of the management there's a chance it is just base on their opinion and again it is sports betting anything can happen in the game but if you have a good background checking with the match of both teams there's a chance you might get a good proper bet. Most of the time I use the gosugamers because it is all indicates the record of the players and current statistics.
Usually, it's just all about their own picks and not related to management but if there's a heavy 322 that shall happen into esports games or any other sports betting.

I guess they're ready to end their careers.
1838  Economy / Economics / Re: Which fiat money are you holding right now in case of emergency needs? on: September 11, 2022, 02:52:31 PM
If there is really a need to choose then I might just go with Japanese yen. I'll rely to the forex traders that chooses although, it's actually all of those which includes EURO and USD but obviously, they're not the good choice now.

Since the idea is all about having emergency needs then you should just stay fine with the current currency that you've got. You'll use it then so it's better to have that less hassle and just put it into your local currency.

Otherwise, if you want to at least have that hedge against the inflation. They may say that bitcoin isn't the good option but soon they'll see that it is one of the best choice.
1839  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: September 10, 2022, 11:51:54 PM
While I'm watching a match for Dota 2 TI qualifier on the NA, I've hovered through the other regions and gone through the Western Europe.

This made me realize that this is the bloodiest region IMO. It's because only 1 will secure a slot and even another 2 teams get in to the last chance qualifier, only 2 from the whole last chance qualifiers qualified teams will get in.

Each region has 2 last chance qualifier qualified team and from that whole point. WEU has got the teams that we used to like and watch like Team Secret, Nigma, Team Liquid, Alliance, goonsquad and from the other regions too we've got some favorite teams.

So, that just made me realized that we may not see some of those favorite teams of ours in the TI that used to be part of it for many TIs.
1840  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investing for a real Assets on: September 10, 2022, 10:59:22 PM
You can treat bitcoin as your personal digital asset, it's different from real estate as an asset but both are really good to have if you have the mindset of being an investor.

If that's your understanding about asset being on your pocket. It may not be literally on your pocket but you can have bitcoin on your own wallet which can be signify as your own pocket while holding the private keys which is also the key for having that description that you own it.

But before that, the most important thing in general for assets. As you buy them, make sure that you understand where you're putting your money.
