1942  Economy / Gambling / Re: What if bitcointalk creates a casino review and ratings board for members. on: March 07, 2023, 11:26:06 PM
I feel like this request is not necessary. I mean already we have a dedicated Gambling section for all the gambling sites. The gambling sites have their own threads here, and it is managed by one of the site’s officials also. So if you want to read any queries or review about the site, you can directly check there and how the site officials responded to the feedback or query can be also seen there. Regarding ratings, usually people rate low, if the site seems to be fishy. You can easily do that in Scam Accusations Board with solid proofs. So as of now, I don’t see any important necessity for the request made by OP.
I agree with this --forum should be maintained neutral in any business since it is not moderated --it is not also moderated scam casino.
We know members here become biased in giving feedback especially if they are wearing the signature. It becomes full of spam just to promote the casinos they are joining from the signature campaign. So I think it is not necessary besides we have two leading review sites that have been here for how many years.
Also, this forum is not limited to gambling related activities and investments. This forum speaks for crypto related investments and projects in general. I also agree with what other users have mentioned that there should be a separate individuals to do that perhaps hired by gambling sites. Also, such thing would be possible if gambling platforms are under one association, perhaps, in order to have only one criteria for judging. Otherwise, things will just be biased as you've mentioned.

If this forum will be utilized, opinions will just be the basis for ratings. Some are well constructed but unfortunately, some are just because they are promoting a specific gambling site, therefore you won't get an accurate answer unless you would be engaging to each of their suggested platforms and see it for yourself, how well that platform is doing.
1943  Economy / Gambling / Re: I got frusted please help? on: March 07, 2023, 11:15:48 PM
First of all, you are gambling, so expect that you'd be needing bigger amount than the usual. In terms of withdrawal, yes there are gambling platforms allowing small amount to be withdrawn but with wagering and minimum deposit, that would be where you may encounter problems. Most of the gambling sites are just having that 'mininum' in order for the players to be allowed to play sometimes it is becaude of the transaction fees given that the house will get an amount to every transaction and if they won't imply a minimum amount, tand if the amount to withdraw is too small, it wont be enough for the fee and for the player to still get something from what they are wanting to withdraw, perhaps or deposit.

In terms of live and fair casino, there are many platforms to choose from. But the idea here is that, as a gambler you will not get profit without putting a decent amount. Things won't be always in favor of the players 'coz we are just using their platform, therefore adjustments should be made by us. The criteria OP have listed would be only met, somehow by small landbased casinos.
1944  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: where the losed money goes? on: March 07, 2023, 10:56:45 PM
Ofcourse the house will get an amount from it either you lose or you win, that is how they are earning aside from withdrawal and deposit on their platform. With regards to some of your losses going to other's pocket, that is also a fact but to be more precised, it is being distributed to many players who simply won. Annd this is just how gambling works both in online gambling sites and land based casinos, there are just changes or differences with the actual process but the idea itself is there.

On my end, I have no problem with such. A gambling site is getting profit from players simply because it serves as players' payment from using the platform, more of like service fee. The profit will then be used to maintain the website and to accommodate more players and the rest will be for the owner and staff. Try to put yourself on their position, ofcourse you won't do things for free.
1945  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling earn someone a living on: March 07, 2023, 02:45:04 PM
There are people who really managed to do so. Perhaps lottery winners who were able to flip their financial status in an instant. OmOn the other hand, there are many people who have lost that much from gambling. This simply says that gambling is not for everyone and also, it is never an easy way to do simply because it is one's fate which would be the deciding factor.

On my end, even if I am aware that there's this family of a friend of mine who managed to win 2x on lottery. But this simply does not oush me to engage as well. Gambling is simply allowing people to earn but without ease. If you are unlucky for a particular day, then nothing will change. There are indeed people who uses gambling as their source of income, but try asking them if things are sustainable. So better be mindful and cautious of your actions in gambling.
1946  Economy / Gambling / Re: they are scamming us? on: March 07, 2023, 02:10:28 PM
Depends on the gambling site you are engaging yourself with. But the truth is, no one will know if the platform is already cheating their players not unless majority would experience continuous loss and players would be raising the concern. But for sure gambling sites won't allow such thing to escalate. They could cheat on a proportion of players but won't totally make it obvious. Best thing to do is to move towards other platform if you are just losing from time to time. Depends also on the game you are playing because in sportsbetting, outcomes are specific which makes it less risky for sites to cheat I guess, not unless it is a scam platform in the first place. Losing is a part of playing or gambling but if things do not occur as planned often, there could really be manipulations with result.
1947  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is Inflation Happening All Over the World At Once? on: March 06, 2023, 10:52:47 PM
Simply because we are talking about irregularities with monetary policies or the way how marketable goods are being managed as they are being sold in the market. Also has something to do with supply and demand wherein there are times capitalists are hoarding to trigger a demand. There are countries who are taking advantage on the exclusivity of a particular market good and this does not exist across countries but even within a single country.
Economies of countries are interconnected: one country experiences inflation, for sure its exports will be higher, and the receiving country who buys their exports will have to higher prices that they have to pass on to the consumers. It's a domino effect, and all of these happens on the daily. If it doesn't, then you won't be seeing a lot of these countries experience economic hardships at the same time. The only differentiating factor is how well these countries can cushion the blow. While they may all be experiencing inflation all the same, some countries can easily handle it while others do not.
Definitely, and between those ties, some countries are simply taking advantage of stocks which pushes other ties to reflect the higher market price towarda other countries, eventually triggering a domino effect towards other economies.
I think the main reason is that most nations followed the U.S. in creating huge amounts of their currencies during the pandemic.

Not only U.S. Maybe this ideology is because of the currency trading value across different countries such as USD to other fiat? I think that is not the reason. In the first place, marketable goods does not come from a single nation only.
1948  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do NFTs Have Same Value as Bitcoin?* on: March 06, 2023, 10:29:30 PM
Definitely not; some big wNFT works are priced below 1 btc and some are higher. But the idea on their value is somewhat the same with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies because market value of NFT is also dependent with supply and demand. Only difference is the utility wherein Bitcoin could be used as a mode of payment while most of the NFTs are for collection purposes.
I am new to the crypto world and still learning the basics to understand how it operates. A friend who is an artist introduced me to NFTs, which he said is similar to Bitcoin. I want to know how NFT drawings can be invested in Bitcoin, but first, I need to understand how to create NFTs that have crypto value. After discussing it with my friend, I searched for help online, but instead of understanding it, I am getting more confused about it.

Do NFTs have the same value as Bitcoin? I have read that investing in Bitcoin is a good business opportunity, especially for people in West Africa who may not have many job opportunities. One can be self-employed by trading and investing in the crypto market and assets, including NFTs.

As a newbie in the forum, I have read other articles about Bitcoin, but I still need a good guideline on the crypto world, Bitcoin, and NFTs.

They are 2 VERY different things.  Bitcoin is a currency, nfts are not.  If ypu ask me I think the valuable nft fad will come to a close soon.  There will forever be a market for them but the moon prices everyone seen will be a thing of the past.  Tell me why you need to own a piece of digital art that really isn't art?  Focus in on bitcoin and start from there.
There's no need to invalidate those who are into NFT. We have our own reason but the same goal which is to earn profit. Some people just really do appreciate the 'art' in NFT and that is okay as long as they are enjoying it. We should not force our preference to other people. In terms of profit, I'd say NFT is more profitable but has also bigger risk. Some would say "why would you be buying an intangible art?" well same thing with cryptocurrencies since we have an option to use fiat based digital currencies.
1949  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trust in cryptocurrency? on: March 06, 2023, 10:09:33 PM
Recently, I've been wondering, and based on the people I live with, I'd say that only 20% of them know what cryptocurrency is.
Sometimes I ask my friend or colleague if he knows what Bitcoin is, and if they're young (20-35 years old), they say, "Yes, I've heard about it. But I don't know much about it."
If I'm talking to older people (40–60), mostly they don't know what it is.

We are living in a world of big changes in every aspect of life. But do you think it will be time when cryptocurrency will come into our lives and be normal for all people? Will people be able to trust crypto?

I'm wondering what your opinion is about this.
Why would you be forcing this technology to all people? Allow them to not engage if they are really not into it. Not all people are into investments and that is an enough reason. Especially to elders wherein they are most of the time not fond of digital currencies and things related with adavancement in technology. Even in the future, ofcourse there is a high tendency for more people to acknowledge Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as an alternative mode of payment but I won't be surprised if there will also be people who won't. It is all about preference. Some people are into saving and some are into investment.
1950  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin Heading Back To $23,000? on: March 06, 2023, 04:35:42 PM
Happy because we have moved away from $ 23k and hopefully we can reach $ 25k today Today Bitcoin will touch $ 25k after almost 9 months under $ 25k, if the price of $ 25k can be achieved today, of course the opportunity to continue to rise is even greater, it is natural that many people are sure if this year can make New Ath at the $ 85K level, of course The price of $ 85K will not occur in 1 or 2 months, but gradually and maybe in October or November will make a new record.
after you say not long after that bitcoin can indeed reach above $ 25K, but not according to expectations because then it goes back down and can't last long. maybe it will be different if it can last long in that range.
now bitcoin is back down and it looks like it will remain in a range like the first week of january and hopefully it won't actually drop to match the price in early january.
everything can still change and it's hard to predict, even though the situation isn't getting better, it's no wonder that going back to last year is very likely to happen, and I don't see a new ATH forming this year other than waiting for the halving period to come next year.

Price correction is somewhat more likely to happen especially if the reason behind an increase is not strong enough to create a huge and consistent wave with market prices. As you've mentioned, the market value of cryptos are unpredictable and that is because its determinant is demand in general. Many factors are affecting the demand which creates changes with prices. A new ATH on the other hand is more antocipated on dates close to the next hard fork for Bitcoin. This assumption is basically created from what happened with the previous one wherein most of the token prices, continuously increased that time. Given that there is a common idea, then things might be stagnant in line with how the majority percieve market behavior.
1951  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you planning to accumulate for 2025 on: March 06, 2023, 02:41:28 PM
I have been gone for a while and now I am back, I am fully prepared to build some long term hold bags with the new trending utilities in the crypto space, I still somehow believe that Metaverse and A.I will generate big gains by 2025, what coins are you currently looking forward to accumulating? Out of Metaverse and Artificial intelligence is fine.
This year is a good time to accumulate top coins like bitcoin and ETH.  I always accumulate them when possible because the bottom is clearly fixed.  I am also ready to build a hot catalog with future trends with web3, defi, Dao, metaverse.  I think those are targets that have the potential to grow with bitcoin's explosive bull cycle.  I expect 2025 to fully reap large profits
The reason I guess why big names would be a better pick right now because there is no pattern or trend visible in the market. Bigger coins are more likely to withstand changes on the market price which is more likely to happen because there are no strong reasons for an uprise as well as with downfall. Uptrend is more anticipated next year. On the other hand, investing on smaller tokens would put you at risk. Most of the newly released tokens' market price are falling in an instant upon their release in the market. It would be better for now to play it safe and wait for patterns to appear before making a move if you are uncertain or hesitating with market behavior.
1952  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for March on: March 05, 2023, 10:30:09 PM
The first week of March is extremely bloody for Bitcoin right now. But I am still positive that Bitcoin will recover from the recent dump because just like what happened in February last month first to the second week, we saw also huge dumps but after that, it followed a correction and pump upward.
So for me, as long as we are staying above $20,000, I am positive and have no worries at all.
Its market value is more likely to roam around $22k to $25k especially if there will be no strong reason for a trend either up or downtrend. Just like the recent uprise wherein a correction suddenly increase. On my end, we may see a bullrun next year, months before the anticipated Bitcoin fork. Right now, there could be no other reason for such thing to occur. There could be factors to alter this such as legality of Bitcoin in US which is somewhat making a noise on the past few days. As we all know, there are many factors affecting the demand towarda this industry in general which makes crypto prices unpredictable. So if you can endure market dumps, investing at this point would be a good idea but if not, atleast wait for a better trend line to appear in the market before engaging into it.
1953  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think BTC would rise again? on: March 05, 2023, 10:09:43 PM
Judging from the long period of time BTC has not accumulate any impression
How long period we're talking about? I don't think that it's already too long that it hasn't got any attention because it always gets the impression and attention.

I doubt if people are still investing because of many policies formulating against cryptosystem no industries and firm wants to risk their capital again. Would the system remains this way?
No policies will stop people from investing in bitcoin. If you think about the firms then they stop, that's okay. The market isn't only rotating on them because we're here, the shrimps and micro/retail investors.  Cheesy

Normally I understand this wasn't the first time BTC has experience this down slide but then it was normally market situations but now many billionares has withdrew interest in this project, then what is the hope of this project? Do you think BTC will experience better and high price?
Of course it will still get higher price soon, don't forget about the halving. I think this concern of yours is always being asked by someone who's new to the market and I can't blame you for asking and being worried but I also asked the question before when I was new.
But then, experience will answer it that you shouldn't worry and this market is here to stay and eventually, those that you've mentioned will come back when the market is in bull run again and that's imminent.
If you've been here for years you'd understand it more. Way back in 2017's ATH, correction also occured which lasted for 2 years if I'm not mistaken and same thing could and could not happen this time given that there is no consistency with the market prices. Even recently wherein its market price was able to break and reach $25k from being as low as $15k. No one expected for such thing so same thing should go for its price decline. As investors we have to be oatient with this market. If we have to wait for another year, that is fine by me. It is potential we are betting of for this industry. But if you're worried because the market value changes from time to time, maybe this industry isn't for you.
1954  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What altcoins do you think are currently still cheap but have good potential for on: March 05, 2023, 09:46:29 PM
I want to ask everyone, now the number of altcoins is increasing and the prices are various, do you know, in your opinion, what altcoins are still cheap now but have good potential for the future?
 I want to hear an explanation from you?
LTC, this is my focused for this year in preparation for their upcoming halving and I think this could be more profitable if you already start buying now while the price is still cheap. Don’t forget also to buy top coins like ETH and BNB because when the bull market started again, we might see new ATH from them and right now is a good price level to buy. Anyway, from our suggestions don’t forget to analyze because we might be wrong based on your standard and analysis, so TAYOR.
I'd agree with BNB being a promising token especially due to the anticipated release of their launchpad. If we would track the past, their previous launchpad release yield to a rally with the market price which made its value way bigger than it was. Also, it is an exchanger token making its market value sustainable to hold for a long period of time. Not to mention that Binance has a good reputation especially because of what happened with an exchanger late last year. During bullish trend, BNB is one of the tokens who is able to ollow and be influenced by the uprise in market prices which is for me a good indicator if you are looking for alternative tokens. So for me, it would be one of the best options.
1955  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Education is the key but knowledge is padlock on: March 05, 2023, 03:04:10 PM
Remember the popular saying in cryptocurrency, "Do Your Own Research"? Yes. Take note of the word "your" not "our". That being said, in the early days of Bitcoin we had a lot of so-called Bitcoin experts who collected huge amounts of money from unsuspecting victims to open buy Bitcoin for them with the promise that they would make a lot of money overnight. They ran away with their money.

I am glad you have learned a valuable lesson. The internet is the best University where you can acquire knowledge and save yourself money, stress and heartache. Newbies should always take the counsel of so-called Bitcoin experts with a grain of salt and do their own research.
Even at this point there are people calling themselves 'expert' in this industry. They should be calling themselves "experienced" than expert because experience is the only thing one could attain from being in this industry for years. I myself as an example; I've been in this industry in general for 8 years and I am still learning things. Experts are simply individuals who has absolute knowledge of something and we are mostly not at that state. But I agree, taking advantage of these so called individuals would be much better but atleast never rely into them.

Learning it to yourself would be more advisable given that resources are their and there are people who could be your guide on your actions.
1956  Economy / Economics / Re: War: who benefits and how! on: March 05, 2023, 02:45:24 PM
Winning country. Dominance.
But obviously, none of them are winning. Wars are not really beneficial and will never be necessary. Bigger problems will just arise and will just make the possibility for things to be followed by other countries as well. Hundreds and thousands of lives are being killed during a war. Economic crises are also being a struggle during such thing. It will also take long amount of time to completely recover and before making use of the dominance won over the other countries. This is just how power is being percieved by some countries who are used on solving inter country problems with brute force.  We're done with colonialism, we should never go back again with the time wherein killing and mass destruction are considered to be a solution.
1957  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How will you feel when your government make BTC legal? on: March 05, 2023, 02:12:22 PM
If you are into this industry in the first place then for sure it won't be surprising fmthat you'd be happy. In my country, cryptocurrency adoption is somewhat neutral. You are free to use and invest cryptocurrencies but won't be encouraged by businesses to do so unless they are also into this technology, but there are only few who does so. Third party wallets are currently trying to adopt cryptocurrency oayments but thru fiat still which means it is not a true adoption of this technology but more of a way to tax transactions. At the present, there are only few countries wherein cryptocurrencies are actually being supported. But all I know is that, if it is acceptance to this technology because of taxation, investors won't be happy.
1958  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Question about token's price when a listing takes place on: March 05, 2023, 01:33:19 PM
Hi everyone,

There is something that I don't really understand.
Recently, a listing for a token took place on a CEX, and it had a starting price of 0.2$.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that there were no tokens airdropped before this listing.
And that all the tokens were vested, so the only way to buy and sell the token was on the CEX where the listing took place.

And what surprises me is that right now, the token has lost around 20 %.
I'd like to precise that this loss of 20% happened when the bitcoin's price remained around 23k and 24k.
So it was before that the bitcoin dropped from 24/25k to 22K.

I'm not sure to understand how it can be that the token lost 20% since the only people who are able to buy and sell the tokens are the ones who have bought it on the CEX.
I hope that my question is clear, and I'd appreciate it, if you could help me better understand the reasons behind the decreasing of the token's price in that situation.

Thanks : Smiley

Even before, such instance is not new in this industry. What I saw during 2017 is a sudden dump with the market price of newly listed tokens. I had the same question but as I have realized, investors has a way to have holdings of a particular token; pre-sale and bounty campaigns. Before bounty participants were believed to be the main reason for a dump after token listing because they are more likely ones who would go for instant profit from participating. This possibility is also anticipated by those who bought during pre-sale which somehow forms a domino effect and will only be reversed if a project is just that promising which would give early investors the idea to just hold for a period of time.

I guess same thing happened with what Op have mentioned unless it is an exchanger token wherein investors would only be able to purchase upon its release but if it is a typical project token then for sure they made way to introduce it on its early stage.
1959  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Shiba Inu still worth it? on: March 05, 2023, 12:07:20 PM
Shiba Inu was originally made as a meme coin so lots of us have doubted its capability and foundation as an altcoin but since lots of investors are into it, I believe that the coin will still remain profitable if only we'll know how to take advantage of its popularity. Shiba is already trusted by many so if we want to make money from it, we should know how to deal with its movement. I must say that it's still a good idea to buy Shiba but we should know how to deal with the risks that we will be facing.
But its hype is currently stagnant in comparison with what happened last year. Clearly the downside of meme coins wherein these tokens are solely dependent with demand given that no utility is specified.Therefore, its market value will only increase IF for some reason, investors will again be interested to do so, in order to create a wave on its market price. And that reason could be the anticipated bullish trend due to Bitcoin halving. So if it is just possibility in its broadest sense, then ofcourse it could be one but take note of lack of assurance. The risk on the other hand for such token is that, once its ATH has reached, what happens on the usual is that its market value never again reached the ceiling such as with DOGE. So as an investor, you are free to decide whether to clash with the risk or to just move away.
1960  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did they not know about the importance of Bitcoin? on: March 05, 2023, 11:14:07 AM
~
No one can know the future well, I will explain you with two examples. Did anyone know before that Do Known's Terra Luna platform went bankrupt in 2022 and this scamming thousands of investors lost billions of dollars? If people had known the news of all these disasters earlier, would anyone have suffered losses?
Again after the SAM BANKMAN-FRIED FTX scam millions of people lost billions of dollars, would anyone have invested if they had known FTX was going to go bankrupt?  No one can predict any cryptocurrency in advance.
Malmi, Laszlo Hanycez, Theymos , If these gentlemen had known in advance that the bitcoins they sold would one day become the world's most talked about currency and go from 0.00099 to $69000 in the market, they might not have sold the bitcoins, or if they had, they would have sold part of their wallets and kept others portion for future reserved.

No one can get any Advanced news about Earthquake in Turkey



If the people of Turkey had known about the earthquake in advance, the devastating earthquake would not have killed more than 45,900 Turkish people and 4,500 Syrian people. No one can know in advance the news of natural calamities and unexpected epidemics, just like how the state of the cryptocurrency market will be known in advance.
Natural disasters are way different. In this field of investment, atleast an investor could make a hunch out of the news simply because news could trigger an FUD or simply simpact the demand as well as the market price of crypto. and this could be somehow of a pattern for anticipation unlike with earthquakes which occur in a sudden.

In terms of investment, risk will always be there. Ofcourse no one can predict the future that is why potential is being relied on, added with taking the risk. What happened with terra Luna is indeed devastating for investors but there is a huge difference with Bitcoin for being on a bigger chain, I guess. And other tokenomic characteristics.But this is not to be biased of it; ofcourse there is a tendency for the market to collapse in the future including Bitcoin. That is why this industry is only for those who are willing to take that risk; who'd more consider the potential than to be scared of that risk. For investors, it would be better to lose trying than to not do anything.
