You can try to ban crypto in any nation as much as you want, it will not be "banned" like the other illegal stuff. When you kill someone you do something illegal and you get caught, the proof that you killed someone is literally that person being dead, when you steal from someone they no longer have that money and you do, that is the proof.

When you use bitcoin, there is nothing illegal going on aside from using a currency not allowed, that is not provable as long as you do not spend it on something that can be proven, you can buy and hold without any proof, any trace and you can continue to live like that until it becomes legal. So long story short, bitcoin can't be banned, it can't be stopped, it can never be "illegal" like the other stuff, it can only be "frowned upon" at most.

Yes, there are lots of articles online that are saying that corona virus is not the reason why the price of Bitcoin has fallen to this low price, but I don’t believe all that. This is something that affected every other thing and not just Bitcoin, just like you have said – Dow Jones fell from the top to a low price, gold was going up the earlier time and at the end it fell to a lower price, same thing with silver, Bitcoin and lots of other cryptocurrencies.

So, I don’t know why anyone would say that this pandemic wasn’t the cause of it. The important thing now is that we should all pray for things to get better and nothing else.
1883  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I realise Coronavirus is not a reason why on: March 30, 2020, 01:54:24 PM
I am not going to doubt what they have said, I’m just going to have faith that the pandemic is going to end even before that month of June  Roll Eyes, it already feels like a year lol. And probably there is going to be change in the market once the pandemic has stopped or maybe the changes might even take place before then and the prices of stocks, oil, cryptocurrencies and other assets will start to recover.

I am most worried about the virus spreading in countries where there are no good healthcare, it might be worse in those cases, they better find a way to prevent such from happening.

@BitcoinGirl.Club  i'm watching Mouse vs Faze and for some odd reason, the stream quality is much smoother/better if i watch it from the website that you posted than from the actual Twitch website...weird. So, thank you so very much for the links  Grin

Does anyone know how long is a competitive CS:GO match?
You can find a ton of esports topics here but bitcointalk people are not really a lot keen on esports that much, same goes for poker as well (both of which sportsbet has lol) so I think it would basically be a lot better if you could research stuff or at least be a part of the discussion in some other places. Look at reddit for example, during a cs:go match going on if you check the subreddit there is a topic with it and there is like thousands of people talking about just that much, we do not have thousands of people talking about the whole esports world here, well we do not even have thousands of people talking about bitcoin here neither but you get the point. Looking specifically to those games subreddits would get you a lot more information and discussion than you can ever get here.

Let me put it this way, earnbet may or may not be awesome, you may like it or even hate it, but what bestbitcoincasino is saying is they are in the top 5 decentralized ones, that's it, they are not saying top 5 of all time, they are only talking about the dapp casinos and earnbet being in top 5.

Let's be honest I have said that earnbet has to do a ton more stuff, I have said that they have to improve by a lot, I have said that they have potential but failing to fill that potential so far, yet when you look at all the other decentralized casinos, honestly they are definitely in top 5 no questions asked for sure. Would I rank them in my top 10 just casinos list? No not a chance, but the decentralized casino world is quite new and fresh, so they are easily in top 5.

Everyone is different. I understand that you can wait that long and that’s good, but there are people who can’t hold on for that long and they just want to quickly get their payment maybe due to one situation or the other.

Just like when I saw some people that were talking about Hodl and how long they can hold their coins, I saw people that said they can’t hold for long because sometimes they see themselves in situations where they will be needing that money to settle some issues. So, it is not always the same for everyone, some can have patience and some can’t, and I don’t blame those that can’t hold that long.
1887  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty Managers and Shit projects on: March 29, 2020, 03:03:47 PM
Lol what other punishment do you expect than just giving them a negative rating? I don’t really think there’s any other punishment that can be given to them apart from being bombarded with negative ratings on their profile so that in the future people will avoid any project that they are promoting.

But, as a hunter you also have your roll to play which is being careful and avoiding bad projects so that you don’t end up regretting later. You shouldn’t always be expecting the managers to do the jobs. The same way you sometimes you think those projects are good are the same way those managers also think it is, and at the end they are disappointed. So, you gotta be careful yourself.
1888  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Corona coins taking over on: March 29, 2020, 02:12:53 PM
Lolz I have come across these Coronavirus coins and some of them claim that they are just for good purposes. I don’t understand what they mean by that, they are just doing business with the situation at hand and claiming that they are doing it for good. It is not a platform for donation and none of the money that are invested there goes in any way to support victims of Coronavirus, so these people are just fools that are looking for those that will fall for their foolish scam. So, dumb. People are always looking for opportunity to make with just anything.

Remember the financial crisis in 2008 when banks stopped customers from withdrawing funds? Then drip feeding tiny amounts to customers via ATMs. This is going to happen again, this time it will be worse.

Take your financial freedom in your own hands, Buy crypto today
Yes this is right time for people to start taking total control over their money and having savings on Bitcoin.

I know that some will be scared due to the volatile nature of Bitcoin, in this case such people should as well consider other cryptocurrencies that are less volatile or the stable coins like USDT, Pax, TUSD or any other type of payment that gives them total control and freedom over their money than leaving it in the hands of the government.

People really has to be very careful of situations like this. Even before now I have been doing that to be in complete control of my money and not hear stories that touch.
1890  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: HOW LOW BTC CAN GO? on: March 29, 2020, 10:46:37 AM
The truth is that we can’t really tell he direction the price of Bitcoin or any other altcoin will be moving. There are always two possibilities to which direction the price will go to.

I don’t do the analysis myself, rather I do research and look for experts analysis to know where the market will be heading to next. Cointelegraph.com has been one of my favorite sources for technical analysis; they do technical analysis on the top ten cryptocurrencies in the market every week. Their latest analysis on 27th March reveals that traders should set their stop loss at $5,600.
1891  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading, gambling and binary options. Which one you prefer? on: March 29, 2020, 07:29:20 AM
What you don't know and what you know is very important as well as being able to say "I am out of my depth" is really important as well, that is what is missing from a lot of the traders. Gamblers know that there is 99% chance that they will lose their money, they would be super lucky if they end up winning after a long streak, or at least they know they can go all in once and if they win just get out.

Binary is something I have never been part of so I can't talk about those people. However comparing gamblers and traders, gamblers know that they will lose and still gamble thinking maybe they will win, that is their problem, traders know that what they should do and most of the time have the blueprint but they put emotions into it and end up losing that is their problem.

Listen to this podcast.
https://unconfirmed.libsyn.com/coronavirus-how-it-will-impact-bitcoin-and-the-halving-ep116
However much you want it to be, BTC is NOT a store of value.  It has been a few years since $20K and even now, each peak is smaller than the previous peak.  Probably be $3K by the end of the week.
Well, I have never for once seen it as a store of value; to me, bitcoin is not a store of value, it’s just an investment and whatever goes into bitcoin is what I can afford to risk and apart from that I also use it for transactions in cases or places where it’s possible that I can make use of cryptocurrency, and those are few.

When I invest in bitcoin and altcoins I already know that there are risks that are involved in buying and storing them, so I relax and wait till the price goes up and when it reaches a rate where I’m completely okay with it, that’s when I sell it and convert to whatever I want to convert.

The thing is USA has always printed money but for some reason their money always kept being a valuable product. If another nation that is not really that powerful printed anything even remotely that high, we would have seen inflation at the Zimbabwe levels, no country should be allowed to print 6 trillion dollars, yet for some reason watch USA do it and not get a record breaking inflation because of it.

I don't get it, how do they not get screwed because of it? How are they keeping the world on their toes about american dollar still being valuable? Is it the military power they have that threatens other nations? Is it the products and fear of embargo? What makes american dollar so valuable compared to other currencies in fiat world when dollar keeps getting printed constantly?

I realized 500 satoshi wagered equals one ticket waaaay too late and I didn't took advantage of that previously, nowadays I just gamble with about 500 satoshi on as high as possible odds, so I get a profit almost all the time, and whenever I lose I just start going x2.0 odds, which means I either get all of it back on my first try or get it back on couple tries later with martingale.

Is there a chance I lose all of my money? Sure why not, I can go 14 times without winning and lose all my money, however I feel like chances of that is quite low so I take it. Meanwhile for every time I win all of those, I end up with some tickets, which allows me to actually have thousands of tickets without spending a single dime on anything. This place is literally "free"bitco.in .

I guess that is the profits of getting a good developer and giving them some time, they will find a way to make sure that there could be millions of rolls per minute and still do not give up the pace for it. There was the very same problem with primedice and instead of fixing their speed they just decided on slowing down the smaller amount gamblers and make them suffer instead and allow the rich whales to gamble as fast as possible instead, that way they wouldn't have too much force on their website.

It is awesome to see that wolf is not doing that system, it would be seriously sad to see a discrimination towards people who do not have too much money to gamble, smaller gamblers are still gamblers and when you slow them down to make rich people faster you tell those people they are unwanted there.

I didn't know that Spain wasn't affected more than others, I thought they were hit a lot more than others before this current pandemic. With this pandemic I learned so much from the "spanish flu" thing, it looks like there was political things went on back then as well, hopefully we will get a better understanding of what calling these flu's with names of nations could do and how it could hurt people this time around, looks like Trump is insisting on calling it "Chinese flu" and that is racist, china could be as wrong as it gets in everything, but you can't do that diplomatically.

Let’s hope that history will not repeat itself, things looking like its settling down a bit and we are looking a bit better, if we can keep it under control like this in long enough time we will definitely end this before summer.

Is there any chance that when the corona virus appears, some scientists have discovered the antidote of the virus itself so that there is an element of intention regarding the spread of the corona virus because there is a business element in it so that the antidote for the corona virus is sought after by many people, this is like a film about spreading viruses that can kill and destroy the economy globally. what do you think about this?
I don’t really think anyone has the antidote for curing the coronavirus. If someone really does have the antidote, don’t you think the virus has spread enough and they should have released it by now? Huh The only way that the virus can be stopped now is by what’s already being done, quarantining those that are affected by the virus and also telling the public to stay indoors and avoid crowded places.

The virus will soon be subdued I believe and after that, businesses will start up again and everything resume and return to normal.
1898  Economy / Economics / Re: Can cryptocurrencies play the role of real money as medium of exchange? on: March 27, 2020, 03:51:56 PM
I think digital goods are the real thing that we should focus on, like for example gaming world is billions of dollars worth and crypto is a great way to enter that as well. Look at crypto, it has a lot of people who are technical as well, engineers, developers, many people who understand about stem stuff and in return those people usually either code the games as well or they like to play games.

So, we do have a lot of stuff in common with the gaming world but for some reason whenever an altcoin was created connecting crypto to gaming, it never worked out, gaming people are smart and do not get fooled all that easily. Long story short we can make those type of digital stuff like gift codes, steam purchases, netflix subscriptions and stuff like that which are purely digital and can't be hold in hand, could be all crypto if we focus on it.

Just wondering...  If everybody is risk adverse and holding cash due to the break down of the price and the outbreak, wouldn't a lot of people in the space hold USDT too?  I think FJ should start accepting USDT deposits (all three issued in Omni, Tron and the Ethereum).
USDT does make sense if it wasn't tether behind it. I am not against the idea of a stablecoin, they are actually quite good and right now USDT is the big one that everyone uses and there is an increasing demand for it, they literally just printed 120 million dollars worth of USDT recently just to cover the demand and they can literally print as much as they want as long as it gets bought there is no trouble for them. They can literally print 10 billion dollars and sell to market and as long as people are willing to buy it there is no problem.

A power like that should not belong to a company like tether or bitfinex that constantly gets sued by governments and even has to work with a bahamian bank to avoid regulations and simply steal your money. So, concept of stablecoin is cool, USDT is not.
1900  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reputation at stake will you stop gambling on: March 27, 2020, 09:08:47 AM
Honestly if I am too involved enough to actually put my reputation at stake, that already means I have done too much, I should definitely stop waaaaaay before my reputation getting to be at the stakes. But if we are talking about someone who got to a place where they have to put their reputation at stake to continue gambling, they totally would, they came all that way already being a gambler anyway, so they wouldn't stop there.

If we are talking about a situation where it is not really a "gambling" but something more real life and you have to put your reputation at risk and do something that may or may not happen, that is different, it depends on what I am gambling on and what I will get in return, if the return is good and the chances are good, I may do it.
