With all the sudden interest in online poker lately, I was wondering if FJ would be interested in running a poker site and start of poker network for crypto.

Something like what WPN is doing.  Different poker skins but sharing the same player pool under one network.
That's my wish for years, they had an amazing poker game back in 2016 but suddenly they decided to stop it (maybe they had lack of users, I don't know exactly). I guess poker isn't in their to do list cause othetwise they would release their poker or at least join party poker network. So.. I guess there'll be no poker even right now when demand has grown so rapidly (not only on poker but on live blackjack too). Along this, demand on virtual sportsbook has grown too.
1922  Economy / Economics / Re: If bitcoin is made for times like these why is everyone selling at a time like.. on: April 27, 2020, 10:40:07 PM
The answer on this question are bitcoin's users. There is knife and it's sold with purpose to slice bread, meat and etc, it's made for times like that but some people misuse it. Maybe it's not 100% clear example but everything depends on type of user. Bitcoin was good back in 2011-2016, after that bitcoin is abused by a lot of people and it's commercialized, example of this is how mining turn into big business and how exchanges require KYC documents as time goes.
Bitcoin's price is determined by it's users and people decide how to treat it, the more positive decisions will have the effect you are looking for.
1923  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Is sort of a Phoenix which Grows Stronger After it's Notice of Death on: April 27, 2020, 09:24:27 PM
Some of Bitcoin’s critics never miss a chance to announce the upcoming end of Bitcoin.

It worsens if the recent HODLERS, saw the critics proof that Bitcoin is going to fail.
On social networks, a FUD sentiment has spread, pushing an outsized number of individuals to sell their Bitcoins in the least costs during a totally illogical way.

Without being aware of the current worldwide economic environment.
I mean the situation with the spread of the COVID-19, many people have lost their jobs and tons of cash. once more, unfortunately.
 
If they understand this, they will join the ranks of HODLERS who totally believe Bitcoin.
Then understand that Bitcoin is sort of a phoenix that always rises from its ashes, and always comes back stronger.
I love the way you compare bitcoin to phoenix but I would add some correction. Bitcoin is a dark phoenix (not marvel movei hah) because it rises from it's ashes but at the same time the dark side here is that it falls from it's state of rise and this fall is often very hard. If we don't regret that a lot of people lost tons of money, then how will they add in a queue of holders? Nothing to talk hodlers who hold for a very long time.
1924  Economy / Economics / Re: How Will the current pandemic affect the crypto market? on: April 27, 2020, 08:59:09 PM
As for now we can proudly say that bitcoin handles current situation very well and it didn't affect much. Even if we April's statistics, there wasn't any significant drop or rise in price, it was stable between 6700-7300 USD. But still it's hard to summarize this task. Economic crisis will become more severe in upcoming months and if it happen like most part of people are left without money and they'll have to sell bitcoins, then I think there will be really huge crash in price but situation is still curious cause we don't know what will happen after halving (though halving is the least thing people think about right now).

Today I'm looking for a developer and maybe it sounds funny from me to answer you. Seems you are looking to get data from them on your website, from A to B. This is done when provider has api and you have access on this API, if there is no such thing then you need website scraper. I guess you need to know Python to write scrapper script (you can google it) or hire someone who will do that for you.
So to sum up, explain them that you want some of their data to be stored on your website, to say differently, you are looking for someone who will write scraper script for you.
1926  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is good amount to start day trading is 100$ enough?? on: April 27, 2020, 07:42:42 PM
How many times one can loose all his trading accounts before really start trading and earn.

I have lost 5 times some small accounts (less than 100$)
And one little big account (400$) in trading.


Depends on what's your target profit, how long you are going to be in active trading and then you can decide whether 100$ is enough for start or not.
But I advice you to stay away from daily trading because you can't catch good moments always, they rarely come. Daily trading can be considered like you go in supermarket and buy things with closed eyes. As a result you bought what you didn't expect or luckily you got what you were looking for.
I suggest you to prioritize to catch only good moments, not every moment that you see, that's why you don't have to do daily trading.

9.        If still you get scammed, do not panic, do not think its end of the
           world, gather all the related information you have and open scam
           accusation against them in the forum.

If you still get scammed, do not panic, gather all information and send it to game-protect. He will save the world and give your money back while scammers will be in prison forever. (I joke of course).
Btw in this thread there isn't list given but a criterias that any user should consider. Since the bitcointalk is big community, personally I think that users should check ANN and scam accusation threads of casinos they are going to play on. This will lessen the number scam victims.
1928  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why there is no Standard Marketplace like Amazon with BTC as payment method?? on: April 27, 2020, 04:46:43 PM
I know...there are smaller marketplaces that people can buy/sell goods via bitcoin, but why a major marketplace is not emerging??

I know for a fact, there is a huge demand for purchasing of goods with BTC...even users from this forum is enough to give the marketplace a supply chain issue Grin Grin

1. is the problem in supply side? are sellers worried taking payments via BTC bcas of volatility
2. is there a logistically inefficiency, that smaller sellers can never compete with the likes of amazon
3. is the transaction speed an issue for retail transactions?? major cards payments are done instantly (maybe this speed is needed for impulse purchases Cheesy)

Comment below...thanks i'm a newbie here Roll Eyes
There are three major marketplaces: Ebay, Amazon and Aliexpress. They have their own payment system that's their priority: Paypal for Ebay, Amazon pay for Amazon and Alipay for Aliexpress. Logically bitcoin doesn't seem to look like their friend but what if demand is huge? Real answer is that demand isn't that good to implement bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency and at the same time it's not easy decision and when you are a huge company and want big to implement something big (yeah, bitcoin is payment way and amazon has a lot of transactions daily), you have to keep things legal and fair. Government's answer on facebook's libra is something that major marketplaces have to consider if they think about cryptocurrencies. There should be other plans too, for example how to do refunds, how should it be done? How will we verify users' bitcoin adresses? How will we get rid of money laundering? And many other questions that they have to answer. In overall pros have to outweigh the cons.

1930  Economy / Economics / Re: How many people have been panic selling? I didn't. on: April 26, 2020, 11:59:11 PM
I think that a lot of people are prone to panic attacks, but at the same time I do not think that this is the main reason for the fall in prices in a given period.
Rather, large players seeing that they can provoke a panic sale act in such a way that they would sell first, and then buy off the last.

Agreed! A lot of people were panic selling that's exactly the reason why we saw the emotional dumps during the previews days. and sadly these emotional selling will follow a big lose in the short words during this period of the time many panic seller lost their money or had a real high amount of loses. While if you control your emotions you could easily but at low price and get a real profit. It's all about the controlling the emotions.
In my own personal opinion, most people who are panic selling are new in crypto that they assume it will continue to go down, but it is normal for the crypto market to decrease due to it's volatility, so we should calm down and have patience to maintain our investments. A lot of people are also selling their cryptocurrency because they are starting to convert it into fiat in a time like these that we all need to provide all of our necessities, while there are community quarantine lockdowns.
Guys do you post from this planet? Where do you get your statistics from? Just double checked again and as it seems in this month the lowest price was 6628 USD and high - 7690. And on regular basis, price was changing between 6700-7300 USD. So in any way this isn't anything uncommon for bitcoin and if we consider the current price, then we can 100% say that bitcoin seems to be a resistant against corona virus and hope it will continue this way in near future too.
1931  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The growth of cryptocurrency on: April 26, 2020, 11:46:35 PM
It's a list of very trite questions. Cryptocurrencies are money after all and without money you can't live. Of course cryptocurrencies helps everyone to feed or achieve some of their goals, aims. In my daily live it's just a money but has higher place because it has a lot of benefits that cash or fiat doesn't have. But there are the ways that cryptocurrencies are changing lives of some people or at least did it at some point of their live. For example people started mining in countries where electricity is cheap and they gained good amount of money back in 2016-2017. Appear of blockchain technologies created new jobs in global market and etc.
1932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This guy gambles and wins a total amount of £400,000 and quits while ahead. on: April 26, 2020, 10:49:42 PM
At first congratulations to winner, it's an amazing amount, especially during current situation and upcoming economic crisis. This is a time when people really have to hardly spend any money in unnecessary things.
Well, OP, he may gamble again because of the reason that you stated but there is another factor too: What you got out of thin air is easy to let go but when you did hard work just to get something, then it's very hard to let it go.
But hope he will be smart, especially right now.
1933  Other / Meta / Re: Can we trust user that spread false and dangerous news on COVID19? on: April 26, 2020, 08:59:10 PM
Real problem is that some people really believe everything that they read, for example this: 5G that spread the virus <-- haha, if we follow that logic, then 3G carries Ebola virus and 4G - swine flu.
Question - "Can we trust users that spread false news" isn't correct because in this case you sound like everything what scientists say is 100% fair and they can't and won't lie. Every opinion is acceptable if it's backed by strong arguments, otherwise - not. Bullshits aren't welcome.
Btw You have always to double check everything, even what your "reputable" news source says.
1934  Economy / Economics / Re: Nobel Laureate asked India to print more money and not to worry about inflation on: April 26, 2020, 08:42:22 PM
Nobel Laureate Abhijeet Banerjee has recently asked India to print more money and transfer them to the poor class of people to increase demand in the market to tackle upcoming recession post COVID-19.

Reference: https://m.telegraphindia.com/business/abhijit-banerjee-offers-print-money-pill/cid/1763262

A lot of economists will say it is a bad idea because later it will become very difficult to arrest inflation rate. But increasing the demand is a major challenge as well.

Voice your opinion! Will be good or bad step for a diverse country like India?
Is there any other choice right now? Everyone knows how poor country India is (while keeping second place in world's population ranking) and how people live there.
In india there are some tallented programmers and I know it they do 2000$ job for 50-100$ just to live and survive. When you put such country in lockdown, it's another death verdict. At least you can develop immune system against coronavirus but you have no choice when you are left in front of hunger.
So for this reason if they want to still continue lockdown and get rid of excessive death caused by hunger, then they have to print money to just escape now. But what may happen in future... In any way inflation will cause a bad scenario.
1935  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What could be the effect of corona virus on crypto industry?decrease or increase on: April 25, 2020, 11:03:45 PM
According to statistics, we had one crash during March 29 - 30. After that there is stable rise with some crush between it but the way bitcoin's price is going sounds good right now when there is crash of prices on almost everything. Right now bitcoin shines very positively, I guess it can even lead others to invest in bitcoin despite current economic crisis. (When everything fails and one thing stays alive + rises, is hard to ignore).

But at the moment there isn't real picture of our global economic crush, it will be very visible in upcoming months, then we will have a real picture of what bitcoin can really do. If people were left without money and start selling of bitcoin, this will have very negative effect on price but who knows, will it happen? Maybe not. During The Great Depression people were left without money but somehow instead of growing death rate, there was a visible rate of population's growth and almost no change in death rate. I find some link between this two proposal...
1936  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitrefill & ASOS on: April 24, 2020, 10:12:33 PM
I have a question. I have never used gift cards for online purchases before and so i would like to know if it's possible for one to have a successful purchase and delivery of items from ASOS using ASOS UK gift cards even when one is not within UK or EU?
I often purchase some things from Asos but despite the fact that I have never used gift card, still as far as I know and have heard from others, you can get items delivered anywhere even with Asos UK gift card. The only issue here is that you can't use their PREMIER DELIVERY option (£9.95 A YEAR) and you'll may pay shipping in GBP or free delivery worldwide, depends on cost of total items. You can also use shipping forwarders if there is any problem with delivery which I believe, won't be.
But still to be 100% sure, you can Contact Asos via chat, email, tweet or facebook.
1937  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PREVISION / INFLUENCIATION on Randomness / Randomised results on: April 23, 2020, 09:24:10 PM

Honestly, l feel the same several times but I won't apply some theoretical, scientific and mathematical relations between possible interactions of previsions with the physical game system that affects the future result. I mean how?

I'm pretty sure there no link between these but what I'm seeing here, once our brain reacts if we focus, alongside with other things we have on mind, it makes us feel positive to the point that if we nailed a bet, it will make us think they are correlated and we can actually influence the site's algorithm. Aside from that, playing from strategy-based games, our analysis contributed to our winning chance.

Actually, this isn't happening just in my gambling activity. It also happens in my online game activity especially with the feature of refining items or something along those lines. The success chance here (RNG) is much worst compared to a 0.5-1% house of dice site but when I feel lucky, I'm hitting it everytime.
First of all I want to mention that there is done a lot of math work behind every game that casino offerd and the reason they have house edge is to get rid of bankrupt and keep business running. So on long term casino is winnet.
To make everything clear, in this case you are in a game of math, a numbers where it controls space and everything. You can't win against numbers on long term, you can attack it hardly and gain advantage in which I mean the case when you somehow quickly win huge money. But as time goes, it becomes like you cut one head but two grows. So finally you are the only one left without chance.
Also keep in mind that every bet is unique and has no link to previous one which means your luck is restarted, a brand new on every bet you make. It's not that hard to analize, that's why you have to play for fun, not for profit.
But there are games based on strategy and great example of this is chess. Mixture of luck and strategy is poker. With strategy you can lie players and make them think the way you wish. But without cards you depend on thin air. That's why this game is mixture of luck and strategy, sometimes your weakness can turn into advantage, sometimes even inattentive behavior can become advantage and sometimes even smartness can affect everything in a bad way.
1938  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Where do the VCCs (virtual credit cards) come from? on: April 23, 2020, 06:55:11 PM
I noticed a lot of people sell prepaid virtual credit cards for Bitcoin in here. Anyone knows how the sellers go about making the cards? Doesn't Visa/Mastercard have KYC rules? And isn't it very expensive to become a credit card issuer?

Thanks.
It's very complex task to talk about. In overall you have to be a bank or associated with bank (despite the fact that users have to top up balance, you should be serious bank with good capital and strenght, at least you have contract with one of the most serious company). Once you team up with visa/mastercard, then you are able to provide virtual credit cards. This is what I can say shortly but I don't know exactly why it's possible for some companies to abuse vcc.
Also as far as I know there are some virtual credit card providers providing API to let users create a lot of cards.
1939  Economy / Economics / Re: Corona has killed economy of many businesses on: April 23, 2020, 10:56:50 AM
According to the scientists who made the vaccine, it took at least 1 year for the vaccine to prevent COVID-19 disease. But in one year this Corora virus will create many new mutant strains. This is really causing many difficulties for scientists. So it is really hard to say when this epidemic will end. And we will see the age of global recession going on. Many economic activities such as exchanging goods between countries will be paralyzed due to the border closure.
Is there a vaccine already to cure the infected of virus?

We cant say how long this virus will last because as long as there's a remaining people infected we we're not safe to go outside and do what we used to do before the lockdown.

So lets just hope for the best.


Yes, there are vaccines from some countries. According to article from BBC Seattle has started human trial for vaccine direcly, skipping animal researches (first person to trial corona virus vaccine). Sanofi and GSK have united to create vaccine too. Australian scientists begun to test vaccines.
And UK is going to start human trials of coronavirus vaccine today (they are funding University of Oxford researchers).

Man it's easy to say stay at home but economy is falling and falling, our health depends on our economics hugely, there is undeniable link between this two. You can gain tolerance on virus but not on hunger so...
1940  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin Become Negative in Value? on: April 22, 2020, 10:31:25 PM
First of all I want to say that it has nothing to do with bitcoin and I'll explain later.
Now, what happened? Because of corona virus there were made a lot of restrictions around the world regarding to travelling. Stay at home resulted in decreased car usage. You don't need fuel if you don't use car.
Price of crude oil become negative which directly means owners pay you to just own, store it. In economics we have one rule: There is demand - there is supply but current situation is the pure example of what happens when there is excessive supply but no demand. But situation isn't that simple right now because company owners can't just throw it and at the same time their storage capacity could run out in May so they have to get rid of it anyway. What's the latest deal? To pay someone to just get it. It's like, imagine what do you do when your phone is out of storage and have upcoming information to store? You are pushed to delete some information but you need it, it's important, so you are paying others to store it, in this case cloud storage companies. In this case both, cruide oil company owners and you are seeking for storage.

But such situation can't happen on bitcoin!
First of all by owning bitcoin you don't lose anything, you can receive 21 million bitcoin in your wallet without any storage issues or etc, then can just destroy it. No one loses by owning bitcoin so there is no need to pay any cent someone for just sending and storing of it. Even if bitcoin becomes banned all around the world, don't even think that miners will pay you just to get mining equipments, no, because those equipments contain parts that can be recycled and used for other purposes which means owners will get at least some money.
