bitcoin.org is owned by bitcoin developers.
bitcoin.com is owned by person/people who provide bitcoin services.
But who owns the "Bitcoin" brand?
Right now, no one owns Bitcoin trademark. Back in 2018 Craig Wright filled application for Bitcoin trademark but he didn't gain it despite the fact that he still tries hardly, a person who was even caught in plagiarism while working on his PHD. So feel safe, no one will ever own bitcoin trademark. And bitcoin.org is owned by one man, nickname here - Cøbra. You can check this thread for more details: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5241347Despite the fact that bitcoin.com sounds like to be an official domain or something similar in terms, this website is against bitcoin and promotes BCH, personal business. |

Skill-based games aren't poker, blackjack and similar ones. Skill-based games are Chess and Poo/Billiard (only these two came to my mind right now). Poker and blackjack are based on luck, but at the same time, it depends on what kind of conditions do we have to play. You know live online casinos use 8 decks of cards while this number is much lower in a real-life casino.
Can say nearly the same on Poker. Poker is a mixture of skills and luck. Without good cards, you can't win against your opponent but at the same time you can win with bad cards over good cards if you bluff, it's a skill too but real-life poker makes this skill much more usable than virtual poker cause on this last one you can't understand emotions of players as well as you are able in real life poker.

One of the best advice to keep in mind is following: When you profit that happens because someone loses and opposite.
Everyone wants to be a good trader but we can't have all winners, so competition rises and average guys in past are now on a lower level. A good trader has to be kept in touch with everyday news around the crypto world and analyze it, both, news and market chart.
There were a lot of moments when those who were looking through news, used those moments collectively while others lose. For example moment when coinmarketcap removed some Korean exchanges from listing and it affected price, one famous exchange in 2017 locked fund withdraw for 1 day and it affected price, also hashocean's scam run affected price, china's mining ban and etc. You have to read news everyday cause people act like news pushes them to act. Positive news sometimes arouses positive feelings in them regarding price and for a lot of times negative news arouses negative feelings among crypto users and as a result, we get price falls.

And then what? Everything has its client (there is demand, there is supply). So I guess there is nothing wrong with people who prefer to use Bitcoin fork or any other altcoin, it's their choice.
On another hand that number, 70 bitcoin fork is very good. That number proves again that bitcoin stands over them and they are trying to become bitcoin. Bitcoin doesn't try to become BCH or any other fork/coin but people behind these projects are those who claim to be real bitcoin and etc.
If people are trying to bring you down, it only means that you are above them! And same here on bitcoin too.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we're entering a recession in the world's economy. The US and some other countries are printing money like crazy, leading towards the inflation of national currencies in such a short time. For long, the US has been the leading economy where many countries rely on the USD as the reserve currency in the world. But all of this may soon change, as people are starting to lose trust in The FED. As the US economy plummets, the world will be looking for another substitute of the USD as the reserve currency for the global economy. Depending on how long the outbreak lasts in the mainstream world, the process of the USD's collapse will be either a slow or speedy one. If the world replaces the USD as its reserve currency, things might change drastically for the global economy. My guess is that either the Yuan or the Euro will become the successor of the USD in the future. Long before the COVID-19 outbreak began, the USD has been in a constant decline in value. Now that COVID-19 has negatively impacted the economy, the USD's stance could be threatened in the long term. What are your thoughts? Will COVID-19 destroy the US' economy, leading to the rise of another reserve currency (especially when the US is the #1 country with coronavirus cases)? Or will the USD still thrive?  Do you know that at the same time USD rises and strengthens its' value in some countries? Can you imagine that even though USD is printing money like a rocket, it's gaining value in some countries? Sounds paradoxical? COVID 19 Won't destroy the US's economy, who will lose right now, is china. The USA and Europe will have financial resources to move factories from China to other countries and also there were some rumours that they are going to move pharma manufacturing services from India too. This will happen, with a lot of printed money or not, but will happen. US economy is big and a lot of countries depend on it. The US is printing money for a lot of times but it still has good value. When are we waiting for crush? People are saying for years that there will be a serious crash but when? And why? Currency's price is a psychological factor too and The US will remain it strong. davis196 said there that USD is still the most trusted currency too in some countries and is considered as a stable currency. |

Nice website but I think you need a little bit improvement in template's colour combination. You know almost every casino is with a dark theme and when the user visits your site, the template has to make him/her feel that this website actually refers to casinos. I like how you provided overall information about bonuses, payments, customer support, etc but you miss a detailed review of each casino which I guess is very beneficial. Also, there are only four casinos and there isn't talk about their pros and cons (only 2 has).

I really wonder why they did that, it is pretty stupid, especially since they've changed the algorithm, and now if you sort by volume Binance is on top with double the volume as others so they could have made that default.
One interesting fact is that Coinbase now is second based on the"web" factor.
To be completely honest, I doubt that if we count anything from articles, links, tweets, and traffic anyone could compete with Binance at this point, it's the newbie gateway right now, especially with their no KYC for under 2BTC rule.
Of course, it's biased but I'm still thinking it's better than what we had before, remember how the top10 looked before?
I wonder too, btw want to remind that Coinmarketcap is far more popular among people than Binance (according to Alexa). The most curious thing that I want to quote Eric Benz is, following: On the one hand, it might appear to be a one-sided deal, but on the other, it shows just how important crypto market data is Yes, of course, crypto market data is very important from them but it doesn't directly mean that transparent data is important from them. In any way, it's clear that Binance is going to boost its profit by making this step. Eh, as time goes I am becoming more and more sure that Bitcoin isn't what it was years ago, it's becoming commercial business. |

Apparently due to Quarantine , people are getting jobless ,but then again pause for a minute.
Some well established institutions are able to provide the financial support and they are shifting the jobs online . One should understand that, this is something that only some well off members of the society are enjoying. Unfortunately the people with small jobs are now deemed insignificant and they are sitting at home and hoping for it to end soon ..
This is making the economic gap between the two sections only wider .
Quarantine was not done properly , it is not the solution. People will soon starve and won't be able to pay of bills . With the loans from colleges and schools , kids will be deprived of a good future.
Soon enough if the Quarantine does not end , Corona virus won't kill us , but the economic situation will . Therefore I urge all of you to stay home and practice good hygiene. So that we are able to control the breaking economic crisis which is bigger than the Corona virus.
What are your thoughts ? Please feel free to share.
I agree with you, quarantine isn't a deal that can solve this problem, a virus can't disappear itself and even if similar virus of corona may happen in future, society will have immune system against it. And this virus isn't that deadly after all, it's manipulation with statistics at some point. Some people think that 5-6 person dies in a particular European country while this number thousands daily. It's easy to type #stayathome on Facebook for those people who have a lot of money or do job online, when their fridge is full, they think other's share the same situation and don't understand how hard life is for a lot of people. Virus may spread from one person to another but hunger - can't. So in overall rich people care about themselves, they say stay at home to take care of me but when they say it, they don't take care of you who needs job and salary to keep alive. Millions of people were dying because of hunger in 21th century's economics. And imagine how this number grows because of the current situation in a lot of countries, but who publishes statistics of it in live like were doing on coronavirus? No one. I'm very disaffected by the lies and the politics. |

It's not a dirty cheat at all. Of course, some casinos will call it a cheat cause it gives you some advantage over them and they don't want it but to be fair who can control you online? No one will understand that you count cards but they may have algorithms that can guess your strategy and if you count, ban you. But I highly doubt that ever happens because live casino suppliers use 8 decks during blackjack and cutting card is put not in the middle but a little bit closer to 4th dack but sometimes it happens and because of employees mistakes cutting card is put on near to 5th and 6th deck but that happens very rarely and sometimes that accidents are reported by dealers and quickly fixed.

Hi guys, first of all, I hope everyone is doing well.
The reason why I created this thread is to discuss other possible benefits of a signature campaign that's sometimes missed or not talked publicly.
So, first of all, this is my question:
Have signature campaigns helped you in improving your SEO conditions? When someone runs signature campaign here, surely website gets backlinks from different threads from bitcointalk that depends on how much posts users have and etc.
So when you started a signature campaign, what was your experience in it?
1. Did it improve your SEO?
2. If yes, then in what time frame?
3. How much influence it had on long term SEO ranks?
4. What happened when you stopped signature campaign?
5. Did your positions went down or did you still keep it?

Recently setup a full node and it wasn't as challenging as I expected. I am wondering what is stopping more people from spinning up their own full nodes?
For me it seems not as many people care about the network, as they do about the price. I am wondering what you guys think, is this due to people not being aware of how important nodes are? Or due to the "technical" challenges they may face?
There is both factor. In overall you see articles around bitcoin and media makes it to look like bitcoin is just currency that has very unstable price and is used for illegal activities and etc. So when people watch to TV or read news online, they see that attention is maximized on bitcoin's possibilities (that it's anonymous cryptocurrency and etc). Also modern exchanges don't give any informatin about nodes. When user is under those impression from media and exchanges or other service providers, they don't even know what is node. Only those people who are seeking more information about bitcoin, understand what's nodes and what role it has in bitcoin. So number of such people is minimal and what makes it even less is that only some part of people really share this information and run node to support bitcoin. |

Actually those who wanted the lockdown to be lifted are those employees and workers that has nothing to spend now,they are looking for job to have foods in their table and money to pay bills.
People who have money don't want the lockdown to be lifted? I guess who have money also wanted to go outside and wanted to lead their normal life as before like hanging out with friends and girls and wanted to go out for party night,etc. I think we all want to return to our previous lives but those that have money can withstand the lockdown for a very long time while those that are poor or middle class cannot really afford to be on their home for months, the question is if trying to go back to normal is the right choice? And even if an attempt to do so is made will people return to their old spending habits? And that is doubtful, I think that what we are seeing is a complete shift in the priorities of people and many industries are going to suffer because of it including tourism. Yes, for those who have money and want to rest for a while from work, of course will say: stay at home. But what answer do they have for those people who are in hunger? When they have fridge full of foods they think everyone shares the same. Of course hunger isn't infectious so who cares... They say like: You, hungry boy, stay at home cause virus can kill me and you. If we stay at home, I'll escape. Well, I agree with him. Not only casinos but in overall countries have to open. Your health is 100% linked to your economics, you have no tolerance on hunger but you may build one on virus. |

When it comes to buying or selling then if you do the exact opposite of what your emotions are telling you to do the chances are high that you'll do very well.
I can't manage it. Very few others can either.
From my view when I do opposite of what I think at the moment, then I absolutely do opposite of my opposite thinking and so on endlessly. Personally what I learned and I would call it the biggest lesson, is following: It's never too late to hold your bitcoins. Well, I am against money holding for a long time but what I mean is that during bad moments you shouldn't sell your coins. Keep bitcoins as a dedicated money that you won't use for daily or some other needs, think that those coins are lost and remind them when price will be high. That works! |

coinfingerNot only sportsbet but every bookmaker is chasing return of sports games. It was a very bad time for those crypto casinos that added bet options lately, they started business when it paused. It will be interesting to know what will happen to contract that sportsbet has with Watford FC. Btw anyone knows, when sportsbet added casino section? It's the first time I saw it (but yeah, I amn't frequent visitor). Hope it won't be rude to suggest but I think your white theme is very bright and hard for eye. I guess it worths to set this colors: background: #f2f2f2, containers: #dee2e6, major text: #53667a. Belive me it will be better, click on this for higher quality.And now check this for quick review:  Hello! Sent you PM with a photo of how to change it to our black mode! that white mode can be a bit bright yes! steve. sportsbet.io I know how to change  just suggested some color improvement for your day theme's option. |

Of course real estate prices will fall a lot including commercial parts.
As for now a lot of people are left without job like OP mentioned. When there high supply / low demand = price fall. See what happened on grid oil, a thing that history has never seen. Of course no one will pay you to rent their house/apartment but prices will fall a lot. Also there is another bonus factor too: Some people were depend on income from rents. If you set high prices, there will be zero demand. You need money to survive too, so this kind of people will lower their rent prices to get customers and earn some money for themselves.
Serious crash will come and it may last for some years. That's great at some point: Products and life is expensive because of these rental prices, on long term if there are low rental prices and normal prices on products, that will have a good impact on people's life. Money won't be easily made from service offers but from regular work.

If I amn't wrong you have to know C++, Python, Java and other programming languages to start your career as a blockchain developer, right? So if a person knows C++ well, he/she will get a high paying job in any way.
Btw I haven't heard if anyone works in gov job because of blockchain cause as far as I know governments hire blockchain developer companies. For example Georgia hired Bitfury to further develop and integrate blockchain technologies in services like land title registry and etc where there is a need of extra layer of protection on stored data.

Thank you guy's for constructive feedback. 2fA and overlap bug are on the task list and getting fixed soon. Meanwhile we are planning to launch a wagering campaign. Please, if you have any concrete ideas how to pull it of, could help allot. Kind regards, blackjack.funI guess in blackjack you have better options than just wagering contests. For example you can offer following promotions: 1. Collect blackjack 10 times and get a chance to take part in our daily wagering contest. The more blackjack you collect, the higher the chance to win. 2. Win 20K (example) USD with four suited 7s. 3. Wager $10 and get $30 welcome bonus. 4. Bonus cards during game. I guess there are some good options out there. |

Every medal has two sides and for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Of course everything has risk and trading isn't exception but when you trade, pros have to outweigh cons. But... It's harder to recover losses than to preserve funds. Task isn't that simple. Sometimes for some people loss causes more reward in their brain, so as a result person tries his/her best to overcome this loses and tries to minimize mistakes. Loss can become a motivation of success. Think of how much you can lose on a trade. I guess that alone isn't a good advice. You need some optimism and luck during trading along other major things. So if you already think about loses, then you will never be able to risk much and those who doesn't risk, don't get reward. Also win % does not make a successful trader, but strategy and risk management do. In any way trading is strategy cause you have to calculate best time to sell and buy. On long term if your win % is higher, in any way you are good trader (call it luck or not). |
