As far as I've seen, most new casinos end up growing to a modest size, and then they stagnate around that size.

A few of them try to advertise here on the forum for a few weeks (seemingly thinking Bitcointalk is the only place to advertise), and then they stop their campaign and remain a small size.

I think the issue is most of these places simply think that a good game or two is enough to build a player base. While this is true in some rare cases, most of these also lack a proper marketing team or budget.

What good is having a great game, if you don't have the resources needed to tell people about it?

This is why the most popular casinos today spend a good fraction of their income on marketing, since they know that's what it takes to both acquire new players, retrieve old ones, and maintain current players.

Plenty of people trade stablecoins, so it's actually quite possible to turn a profit while simply holding stable assets.

A variety of DeFi protocols offer between 5-18% APR for providing liquidity or collateral-backed loans with stablecoins, while traders are able to capitalize on the small fluctuations that occur in the true USD value of stablecoins as a result of day-to-day changes in demand.

Plus, you'll sometimes get an opportunity to buy stablecoins like Tether or TrueUSD discounted during waves of FUD, where morons sell their dollar-backed assets for less than $1. USDT has gone down to as low as $0.92 before if I recall—excellent opportunity to get some practically guaranteed profits.

I think the casino that gives its players the most variety has the best chance of succeeding.

Not only because it is able to cater to multiple different types of players, but also because it gives the players it already has more things to do.

Crypto.games is the perfect example of this, it has a bunch of different games that cater to different player styles;

Playing for fun? Minesweeper. Want to test out strategies? Dice and roulette.

That said, I do believe there is a balance between number of features, house edge, and marketing efforts. All three need to be on point to really succeed these days.

You should only be bumping your thread once every 24 hours.

Back to back bumps throughout the day are only going to annoy people, rather than land you clients.

Then again, people do participate in clinical trials with the risk of potentially ruining themselves. Most of the time, these clinical trials pay out in the order of $5,000+ though—I'm sure these college idiots aren't getting anywhere near that amount even if they win the entire pot.

It's probably more for the daring aspect of it, the same way people climb gigantic skyscrapers and tall structures just for the rush of doing it.

Still dumb af.

I'd love to be able to stabilize its value instantly, without having to suffer any risk whatsoever or use third-party platforms.

I think BTC should have an accessory token called sBTC, which is stabilized to the value of the dollar (or another cryptocurrency) at the time of stabilization using an oracle system.

The oracles could be paid a small % of the stabilization fee for their service.

Vendors and merchants could then choose to either only accept sBTC and keep it stable, or convert it back to BTC at the point of sale and take the risk of volatility.

Could help to get mass acceptance much faster if price risk could be selectively eliminated.

I can see Mark's side of the story, and I can understand the reason for all the hate he got.

Realistically, he should have just pulled the game the moment he found out there was an exploit that gave the player a massive advantage over the house.

In any normal casino, a player that finds a loophole with a game is typically allowed to keep the winnings. So long as they're playing within the parameters of the game and not using any disallowed equipment.

I don't think there's any reason to shut down the casino though. So long as he just makes it extremely transparent and clear how each sessions runs, so there's no risk of it being altered manually like before.

There is a reason why most places offer a bug bounty when they launch a new game, and start off with low limits.

If he's got a crap load of Bitcoin sitting on his computer, then it's wise to tell his parents before they end up selling his computer and the rest of his belongings.

Since his parents are almost certainly his next of kin, then they'll be the ones to inherit the funds.

Although it might seem insensitive to do it straight away, you should at least let them know they shouldn't sell the computer until after this check has been done. If they don't know how to do it, they could just install Teamviewer on the PC and you can do it for them remotely.

Hopefully his seed phrase is hidden somewhere easily accessible.

The vast majority of bounty managers charge peanuts for their work, they don't actually have the time to do good work—at least not if they want to be adequately rewarded for it.

It would be better if there was a single group of trustworthy bounty managers that split the work between one another, but it seems that the only bounty managers left are the absolute scrubs that don't give a damn about bounty hunters and take whatever jobs they can, so long as they get paid.

It's up to the bounty hunters to do their own due diligence and only work with managers that are proven to be able to land high-quality clients and get results. Don't bother with newbies, they don't know what they're doing and you'll just end up wasting time.

The fact that you don't even know that you capitalize personal pronouns (I), or that there is a space after most punctuation marks (:,. etc) indicates that you are not a competent writer.

I could understand if you were charging $1/100 words ($10/1k) for very basic notes or something, but absolutely nobody is going to pay you $40/1k for your work.

Absolutely horrendous service post.

Can you imagine how completely stupid you need to be to participate in such a ridiculous competition?

Not only do most of the participants end up catching COVID19 and getting nothing in return, but they're actually probably putting themselves in dangerous situations just so they can catch the disease.

I can imagine these fools walking into a COVID19 ward and asking to be coughed on just to win the bet.

The stupidity of humans will never cease to disappoint me.

Perfect!

Looks like I can maximize my TRX rewards by unfreezing right at the last minute then.

+merit for you.

This thread is now closed.

Both are B-class fighters, but I've got my money on Ramirez. I don't think either of these guys could be Stevenson or will ever hold a major title.

Ramirez is the fresher fight, received less battle damage throughout his career as far as I've seen. He's also slicker and able to fight on the backfoot better, which is useful since Gonzales is almost certainly going to try and pressure him in the mid-to-late rounds.

I wouldn't place too much money on them though, since this is basically a 55/45% fight IMO.

I can fill this loan at this collateral ratio, send me a PM if you're interested.

The interest rate would be 1% per month, you bear the transfer fees on your end.

There are already dozens of tools like this out there already, practically every professional Poker player that plays online uses some assistive tools like this.

In the world of poker we call them heads up displays (HUDs). They can be used to track the cards of other players, estimate the odds you have the best hand, and even calculate how much you should bet based on the action.

It's practically impossible to survive at the highest ranks, particularly when multi-tabling if you don't have a HUD on your side.

Jeff Bezos could easily manipulate the cryptocurrency markets if he wanted, but why would he? He's the richest man on Earth in terms of fiat capital.

I don't think he's got the free time to worry about manipulating cryptocurrency markets for what would be small gains for him.

Some quick calculations indicate that this guy earns around $10 billion per year, which is the equivalent of $27.3 million per day. I really don't think he cares about the hundreds of thousands or so he could get away with from manipulating cryptocurrency markets. He's already found the ultimate moneymaker, and that's Amazon.

This guy doesn't need to work on making money anymore, he just builds his dreams and his companies.

A large whale can easily tank the bankroll of a relatively small casino by -1.5%.

Usuallly these platforms have maximum bet sizes and other restrictions in place to help minimize the odds of this, but lucky streaks do occur.

Depending on how much volume the platform turns over, it could take quite some time before the 1.5% loss is recouped—probably around 3 months if it generates an APR of 6% per year.

Better hope another whale doesn't come along and knock it back even further in that time.

A project is usually called a shitcoin when it has almost no prospects either for future growth, or even a slight recovery.

Some cryptocurrencies have been on an almost perpetual downtrend ever since they were first launched, either because the team was incompetent or abandoned the project, or due to a lack of faith in the community or poor tokenomics.

I think it's more important to distinguish between altcoin and shitcoin, since a lot of people use the terms interchangeably, when it's obviously not accurate for the most part.

Once you click the unfreeze button, do they then become unfrozen instantly, allowing you to send them straight away.

Or is there another 3 day period enforced before you can send it?

Thanks for the help!
