21  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: WHALES DIDN'T SELL THEIR BTC. (ANALISYS TABLE) on: March 30, 2018, 06:30:34 AM

Please refer to the above able.

Whales didn't sell their BTC.

Instead, they bought more BTCs during the dropping of BTC price.

It means...
The price will go up again soon.

Good luck guys and HODL!  Smiley

But where did you get that data? I don't see any source in your post but just that picture of an excel file. This should not be taken as something true unless it is backed up by data! Stop spreading lies like this without having any truth to your post.
22  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-03-30] Privacy Stake is launching its ICO on April 10th on: March 30, 2018, 06:27:19 AM
This should not really be news for the cryptocurrency world as there are so many ICOs launching everyday and this is nothing new and unique to other ones. The better news would be ones that inform us that the ICO was super successful and it raised millions of dollars in investments.
23  Economy / Economics / Re: BITCOIN IS NOT BUBBLE!! on: March 29, 2018, 09:39:09 PM
Today, the Internet World is full of people who are called economists who say bitcoin is a "bubble." they seemed to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt. They say that the bitcoin high price rally will be a disaster. however, it looks like they just hate cryptocurrency. many of these experts do not fully understand bitcoin.

Bitcoin is special. This is not a company that can lose profitability and fail. This is certainly not a speculative real estate scam that could collapse due to government and bank fraud. Bitcoin is something else. Its value does not increase due to market lies. This is increasing because it is a life-changing financial discovery. This increases as more people adopt it.

Bitcoin also grows as a result of basic economy. Its supply is limited to 21 million units and this certainly makes assets scarce.  If something is scarce and many people want it, then, its value will eventually increase.

So.. Bitcoin is not Bubble!!

Everything you might have said might be true, but what if the world suddenly doesn't want bitcoins? What if it has found something a lot better? What if all the governments in the world suddenly bans bitcoins, and making it extremely hard to use? There are a lot of factors that could destroy that demand, and that has continuously been threatening bitcoins. Don't get me wrong, I am a complete supporter of bitcoins, but there are just those threats to it that we should accept as well.

Just to stray away from all the others here and back on point. 1xbit and its mother company 1xbet has been proven to be both scams. They have unjustly confiscated account balances and forfeited winnings as well in the past, this can be easily be researched as there have been a lot of public outcries here on the forum and all over the internet.

Great to see that gambling sites are venturing into other forms of crypocurrencies, s far it has been quite bumpy for bitcoins and having options for other crypto is good as it gives variety for gamblers. I'll be sure to try out your faucets and give you feedback on it when I do.
26  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does positive thinking affect your edge in gambling on: March 29, 2018, 09:10:53 PM
Some people think that strong feeling affect the outcome of your bet. But for me its all about luck., what do you think guys.
For me it's just a matter of luck and positiveness in gambling sometimes we need the luck because no matter what we do without it, it is impossible for us to win the game. It's just like without air we can't breathe that's how I define the luck.
It will only matter for ourselves, since we need to convince ourselves that somehow we will be able to win. There were times that we will be needing to do it. But still be realistic you'll definitely sense it when you're playing

And that could depend on your luck if you have positive vibe then the luck will following it, always think positive that you think you can do it to win and that luck will come out together with positive think.
Just try to gamble that you are not in a good condition it may bring you a huge loss if that happens it is different from if you didn't think a positive.

LOL. Where did you get that mumbo jumbo? Your luck will never be affected by any outside factor no matter how happy you can be! Our odds of winning will always be the same if you are positive or negative. It will not result to a better chance of winning. There is no such thing. It's just something people make up and you should not believe.
27  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does ethics count in winning/gambling. on: March 29, 2018, 08:55:37 PM
I'm sure all of you would be aware of Captain Smith and his shameful teammates, who have brought shame to their country and all the respect for Aussies cricket seems to go down the drain.

This has brought me to a important question for all, is winning so important that you let your ethics down and chaeat?

This was cricket have you ever tried to cheat in gambling if yes why and were you able to stop doing it or no.

I have never cheated, won't deny I had the urge to do it but I resisted it nevertheless.

There is no code for us gamblers like the weak ICC has but I feel even we as gamblers are ethical and won't do such shady stuff to win.

Insider knowledge that the game is rigged is probably hard to acquire and you'll likely spend a lot of money to get it or make it happen, so probably it is just a business decision for some and ethically wrong for many. I would say that it would be hard for anyone to do this, there would be little chances that a lot of people will be in on the scheme. Though if I had the chance, I would avoid the game probably.
28  Economy / Gambling / Re: Add DICE to your website on: March 29, 2018, 08:50:44 PM
I see. Well looks like there is still a lot more to develop before it can be implemented easier. Probably this would be best suited for those sites that has some sort of balance or credits they are holding for their clients. Something like exchanges, wallets, and e-commerce, where people need to deposit something. I think probably in the future something like this will be quite normal to see in sites.

It is true. For now our integration service most suited for websites with crypto balance.
We see that the theme is interesting, so now we think about white label decision and make easier for major websites.



Maybe you can create something that would allow the website owners to integrate the system without having a cryto balance in their website. Something like a reward system for their users but with the end goal of encouraging the users to deposit money into the system so they can gamble. Something like what bitkong has done. They are actually free to play, but generally it would be much more fun to play with deposits.
29  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Favorite type of gambling? on: March 29, 2018, 08:46:02 PM
Give your vote to any kind of gambling, is that the betting on soccer games, playing poker, roulette, online gaming, live gaming....??
My favorite type of bet is soccer it's kind of easy for me and I don't have to know most teams beforehand. I usually check their stats that's all although I'll really love to learn how to play poker kind of looks interesting
My favorite is dice. I think that it is easy to play dice and it does not take us much time. We can do dice all day without having any trouble. But first, you need to have money. I consider dice as a way to entertain myself, not a way to make easy money so that I do not waste my time on gambling
Honestly I do not understand entertainment in dice game is what if we do not make money there? In the game dice we just put a bet, roll the dice and see the results only, entertainment only if we do I think because we did not do anything else. To me dice games are not the right game for just looking for entertainment.

Maybe you haven't played dice yet, but its a hell of an entertainment! Not being sarcastic here. I do enjoy dice, but I believe it just eats too much money too fast. If it was not entertaining then it won't really be popular, don't you think? But the fact is that almost every online gambling site in the cryptoworld has dice, and actually dice is the number one game around here.
30  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bookie - Sports Betting Exchange on the Blockchain Wants Your Input on: March 29, 2018, 08:43:01 PM
Ok just by reading the articles, I have a question now. How do you guys propose that the system will automatically grade the events. What I means is that how do you, without human intervention, make the system create it's own odds? For example, a game of NBA with GSW vs BOS, how will the system say that GSW - 13 vs BOS +13, something like that.
31  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Easy strat trading in profit on: March 29, 2018, 08:27:58 PM
If it was that easy then everybody would have been rich by now. The fact of the matter is there is no one single formula that would get you consistent profits from every trade. The market is highly volatile and unpredictable in the short run. A bot cannot really predict the outcome of any trade, so you cannot really say your bot can do it.
32  Economy / Gambling / Re: 0% house edge, rake and comission on: March 29, 2018, 08:25:09 PM
It does change it. Theory is different from actual. Again, the equation does not factor in human emotions since it is an outside factor. In a perfect world, if the gambler and the casino play an infinite number of games without any other factor then yes both will get 1.00. But the fact is that you still have to factor in human greed and the limits. Well, I guess this is just going in circles and we both agree to disagree.
No, you are going in circles by begging the question and you do not understand the extent of my argument.

Greed does not matter. Individual profit does not matter. It is the total profit of all the players vs. the casino that does matter which is expected to be 0.

So a player gets greedy. There are two outcomes: they win the bet or they lose the bet. The expected profit is 0 from both sides. Thus, as a long-term investment, nothing happens and the casino wastes money from server hosting.

And again, I go back to my argument that it still does not incorporate human emotions. Math is math, yes. In a perfect scenario the game will end in 0. But the thing is there are gamblers that can't stop playing even if they have won a lot already and think they can make more out of their winnings but end up losing in the end.
33  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why people are sharing tips? on: March 29, 2018, 08:20:31 PM
Maybe they are good enough trying to help people to win something, maybe they feel lucky today and want to share with you, some people also build reputation by giving free tips so they can invite you to join their group where you need to pay some money to be able to join.

sharing tips that could be due to desire alone, sharing tips is not something that should be asked why. And why should it be questioned? is that annoying? If it's a free tip, maybe he just wants to help others and share his ways with others. If their tips should be paid for viewing, let's just say it is their way to make a profit.
But there are people that don't really know what they are talking about. They just share something really useless and they think they completely know about what will happen on the game, but they really don't. A lot of them are just basing their tips on their gut feel and nothing analytical about it. The problem this creates is that there will be people that will believe the tip even if it was not true.
34  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The way to win in gambling on: March 29, 2018, 08:18:05 PM
There are some strategies for winning gambling that all the gamblers are much more experienced about those strategies, they can win this win easily and who are not aware of those strategies, they can never win gambling but yes, those who play a lot of gambling. They are studying one day, factics can be adopted so that they can win gambling triumph,
I think there are no yet confirmed strategies introduced in gambling because if it were true, then all the gamblers would have adopted such tricks because no one wants to or willing to lose his money in gambling and every one would have been winning instead of winning or losing and the era of gambling would have come to an end. These are the strategies created by people on their own and sometimes useful and sometimes not.
Your thinking is totally correct man as there are no such strategies introduced in market which allows the person to instantly win the game which was once not in his favor because gambling is totally a luck dependent thing and strategies have no role in it, so a person who is caught saying that gambling involves some sort of strategies is nothing except a big blunder from his side as explained earlier.
If there was then the there won't be any gambling site of casino that would still be here. We cannot beat the odds in a casino, there is totally now way we can change the expected outcome of the games since there is absolutely no way we can beat the house edge. If you can win a few rounds and be in profits then take the profits and leave the table.
35  Economy / Gambling / Re: 0% house edge, rake and comission on: March 27, 2018, 12:06:40 PM
there is still a chance these kinds of casinos can exist and make a profit.
I'm not denying that they can make a profit. Just that they are not profitable. There's a difference between winning at gambling and having a gambling game be winning for the player.

There is no argument to be had here since you're simply saying that casinos can get 'lucky' to deviate from the mean and make some profit. Again, begging the question.
Human emotions/other factors don't change the outcome of the wager. If the edge is 0%, the ev for both the casino and player are 1.00. That's it.
It does change it. Theory is different from actual. Again, the equation does not factor in human emotions since it is an outside factor. In a perfect world, if the gambler and the casino play an infinite number of games without any other factor then yes both will get 1.00.

36  Economy / Speculation / Re: Ten years later on: March 26, 2018, 04:33:07 PM
We live in a world where even the near future, like tomorrow becomes filled with uncertainty and it becomes very hard to predict what is coming. With respect to Bitcoin, we have been witnessing a lot of price fluctuations over the past few months and this comes as no surprise as it has been like a trend for BTC to have high and lows all the while.
Considering we would be closing in on the maximum supply of 21 million Bitcoins, it could be priced anywhere between tens of thousands upto even a million per coin and this, yet again is a wide range of speculation.
Although the trend for bitcoins has always been going up even if you check the historical price. Since the price is still way higher as compared to the same time last year. Which is a good thing, since we can say that the prices of bitcoins are just steadily climbing and what has happenend back in december 2017 is just a slight spike in price due to a lot of people speculating due to the fact about the bitcoin futures.
37  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin global regulation on: March 25, 2018, 01:24:41 AM
rices started to fall in the Indonesian marketplace all that must be a change

Sir, bitcoin prices fall not only in the Indonesian marketplace. The reason of that is the rude laws of regulation and the ban of the advertising in AdWords, Instagram and Facebook. This all factors influensed on cryptowrld I think
Well it does not decide the future of bitcoin at all, if in Indonesia your bitcoin is gonna ban then in several countries bitcoin being legal currency so I think level is going equal. In Japan we have heard about bitcoin legalization which is quite true. For now there are a lot of bitcoin investors who are making it famous and soon we will see bitcoin globally legal and regular because bitcoin has become very famous worldwide, benefits of bitcoin is popular in the whole world so we can expect bitcoin to be regular globally just after the hard work of couple of years, maximum after 5 years bitcoin will spread worldwide as legal currency.

That is being optimistic. So far a lot of jurisdictions are very aggressive about banning bitcoins and cryptocurrencies. Problem is the governments are scared of what bitcoins are and because they know they cannot regulate it. So even if they put out regulations, such can be ignored by the public and they can just continue to use the currency without even caring for public laws.
38  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ESPORT] Will it WIN ? on: March 25, 2018, 12:35:46 AM
Esports are really hard to follow, it's not like basketball or other conventional sports we bet on, but it is gaining popularity. I am a gamer myself, but seriously its hard to follow every game nowadays as there are so many teams, tournaments, kinds of games, etc.

OP, probably you should share your own opinion about it and share where you will place the bet on.
39  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich people don’t gamble. on: March 25, 2018, 12:30:00 AM
Actually that is partly true. Two reasons why I believe so. First is that rich people don't really need the money they expect to win from their bets since they are already rich, unlike poor people that wants to get rich quick. Second, the amount of money they bet is for sure far larger than someone poor even if the poor person bets 100% of his money since for example if the poor person has $1,000 to bet and the rich person bets 1% of his $10,000,000 then he bets $10,000.
40  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk says goodbye to facebook on: March 25, 2018, 12:17:32 AM
Today Elon Musk closed all of his company pages on the site and Cambridge Analytica is in a lot of trouble: https://medium.com/algebraix-data/will-data-privacy-be-the-death-of-facebook-3adb383a9aae

With that said, I think we all know that our personal data is being used for profit. This really begs the question: how can we protect our data??

I think that these recent events have opened the door for projects like Algebraix where they're a permission-based advertising platform. You get paid to watch ads and provide info for advertisers. https://algebraix.io/

Thoughts on this??

Isn't it obvious? Google, Facebook and all the websites that we input a search on, even our browsers are selling us! Haven't you guys noticed that if you searched, for example, baby clothes every ad you will ever see is about baby products! The problem is that they are also colluding and selling to each other the data. Another example, if you search on Google baby products, when you get on your facebook, all the ads you see are also baby product! That's just plain scary! Last example, when you go to a particular website like toysrus.com without using a search but just plainly visited the URL from your chrome browser for the first time, when you get back to Google and Facebook, what do you see? You guessed it, ads for toys!
