If I remember correctly, Cardano was identified as the most developed project in the last year, having more developer activity than any other project (Ethereum included).

This indicates that a lot of money is being put into actually making Cardano the best it can be, rather than simply relying on community commits like most other cryptocurrencies do.

That doesn't mean it's going to be a success in the long-run, but the guys behind IOHK definitely look like they know what they're doing.

I mean Charles Hoskinson even co-founded Ethereum, so if he could make the 2nd most popular blockchain, you can be pretty sure he could push Cardano up to be similarly popular.

Pretty incredible that a casino of that size was able to operate under the radar for so long.

Even if he had a house of judge 1%, that means the guy successfully generated $30 million in profit without even raising a suspicion? The place more likely had a crazy high house edge too, given that it was already operating illegally, so something like 3% ($90m profit) is more likely (deducting operating costs).

Not really much of a difference between a licensed an unlicensed platform so long as they're using fair equipment and not rigging the games. But the government's gotta get its share of the revenue or its curtains!

I don't think we'd see the same knee jerk reaction we saw when the virus first got declared as a pandemic.

The numbers weren't even anywhere near at their peak at the time the World Health Organization made its announcement, and yet the stock market and everything else was sent crashing.

Therefore, it's really not about the numbers. The coronavirus is still a pandemic (as far as I know), and the numbers will likely stay lower than the first peak (by which point Bitcoin and most other assets were already well on their way to recovery).

If the WHO goes and say it's even worse than a pandemic, then expect another drop.

They're not rising from the deep, ICOs have always been around—they're just less abundant than they once were because everybody got rekt back in 2017/2018.

You can be fairly sure that any ICO that appears nowadays will either outright fail due to a lack of enthusiasm, or will perform extremely well as an outlier. There is no in between anymore because nobody wants to get burned if there isn't something spectacular on offer.

I'd recommend just staying away from ICOs unless investing as part of a crypto fund, since they're able to secure rates that retail investors simply can't compete with.

Brick and mortar casinos can only afford to give away these incentives because they typically have a much higher house edge than most online casinos. It is very unlikely for you to see a game with a less than 3% house edge in a physical casino, whereas practically every popular online casino game (at least in the crypto world) has a house edge less than 3%, while many are under 1.5%.

There is nothing else these places can do to incentivize users, unless people want to opt for a higher house edge in return for benefits like these—which I doubt any reasonable person would do.

He should retire.

He's actually taken quite a few injuries in recent years, busted his hand several times and ripped his bicep just recently. He's not in tip top shape anymore, I doubt he can even throw his right hand anymore like he should do, considering that he literally damages his own body when he his people.

Fury will probably mop the floor with him in 3 rounds next time. If it goes on longer, then it will only be because Fury wants to entertain the crowd some more.

How can you be aggressive when you know that your hand is completely rekt?

I don't believe in crypto ATMs, they're definitely not the way to mass adoption.

Most of them have a ridiculously high exchange fee of between 7-10% (some even more), and most now require KYC verification to use.

Why the hell would I go through all of that, when I can do exactly the same through Coinbase for a far lower fee and have the money in my account within seconds?

STRONG PASS ON CRYPTO ATMS.

Of course it's real. Remember, the high roller board only shows wins or losses over a certain threshold, most people on Crypto.Games bet low on a high multiplier, hence why most of the board is green.

But sometimes you'll see high wagers with a high win chance, similar to today's high roller board.

People usually believe that a large amount of stablecoins being minted is an indicator that institutional traders and hedge funds are looking to move money into crypto.

That said, I don't think there is a huge correlation. It will take more than a few hundred million in new capital to really affect the industry, given the fact that Bitcoin alone has a market cap of $1 billion.

People are just trying to make out that there is a method to the madness, and that tracking these whales is a way to make sense of it all—its not.

Looks like Las Vegas are heading for a second wave.

If the incubation time is around 14 days and they just re-opened last week, then we should start seeing a new wave emerging in the next few days.

I don't really get how you could possibly implement safety measures in a place like this. People seem to forget that you don't actually need to be near someone who has the virus to contract it. You just need to be in close proximity to the objects and places they were in contact with—e.g. the table or slot machine they were playing at.

If people want to go there and risk death, then good riddance, people are dumb af.

I think Klaytn by Kakao and Line's Link platforms stand the best chance of achieving mass growth.

These are two blockchain based messaging platforms that were recently launched in Asia, they don't get much coverage here in the west, but they've already racked up millions of users each.

Surprisingly there's a huge amount of focus on things like Cosmos and Chainlink, while these two sleeping beasts have scored tens of millions of users but get no media coverage.

Strange indeed.

Most major projects have continued developing in recent years, not sure which major projects you are referring to in OP.

Ethereum, Cardano, Chainlink, Cosmos etc have all been racking up impressive developments in the last year too. In fact, a couple of these are on the verge of a massive network update.

Still, Nano is definitely a great project and it's good to see it's still going on. Would be better if focused on building protocols for mass adoption rather than some of these weak use cases though.

I doubt many casinos are legally allowed to detain you, even if you're caught cheating red handed. Is cheating in a casino even considered theft?


I've never been given free stuff to continue playing at a casino. Then again I only play on the roulette tables and the rake isn't that high.


How? It would be extremely bad business to ban a big winner. Big winners are an outlier and most casinos know this. Big winners are the best thing to attract more customers.


You just contradicted your earlier statement here.


Slots rarely have a good return in general, best to stick with CRAPs and other table games.


It's illegal for drunk people to gamble in most places. Any casino caught intoxicating its customers would be shut down quick and earn a bad rep.

This thread was definitely needed, people have been on the hunt for PvP games—particularly those with a significant skill element for quite some time now.

Haven't heard of many of these on the list, but I'll definitely be giving a few a try. The racing game from IOI looks interesting, though I'm not yet sure if it's 100% random or if there's any skill to it.

Are you planning to continue building this list?

You got a source for this estimate? I highly doubt most professional traders only make 3-5% per year, unless you're also averaging in all the retail trader noobs that dive into the market and throw their money down the drain?

You can get far more than 3-5% a year with a huge number of passive income streams, so I doubt any self-respecting trader is going to settle for 5% a year with their active effort.

They would need to be trading with a starting balance of $1 million just to make $50k a year.... seems likely.

It's true, but it's no different to any other platform that's licensed in the United States as a money transmitter.

That's why you should only store cryptocurrencies on reputable platforms that are hosted in countries that can't be touched by the IRS or FCA.

There's plenty of countries like this, e.g. Bermuda, Panama, Swizerland, Malta etc.

I personally keep all my money on a hardware wallet, but when I trade, I make sure to stay well away from platforms that serve US users.

I think he means the Wilder Fury 3 fight might not go ahead.

Apparently Wilder injured his bicep throwing all those haymakers he missed in their second bout. He just had surgery on it and now thinks he can get in there with the champ and win?!

Insane.

Wilder got exposed and is basically finished now, if he gets in the way of the undisputed fight people will just hate him for it. Especially if he gets smoked even worse this time.

An ICO from 2017 made over $100 million and didn't deliver anything?! Good God! /s

This is the norm unfortunately. If you look at all the ICO projects that were launched in 2017 and you see how many of them have actually grown to become a functional business now, you'll find that it's close to 10%. The rest of them either blew through the money, ran off with it, or are currently busy pissing it away and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.

ICOs were the get rich quick scheme of 2017, and you were on the wrong side of the table.

FYI Lutpin used to maintain a similar thread back when Crypto.Games accepted bankroll deposits;

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1796062.105

You might want to use his design for the thread.

Would be nice to compare different bankrolls to see how they stack up in terms of returns.
