201  Local / India / Re: [INDEPENDENCE DAY RAFFLE] #7 - Pick a lucky number and win 0.001 bitcoin on: September 19, 2020, 06:00:01 AM
It is amazing that Indian members are not interested in participating in a FREE raffle which is worth INR 800 approximately. I think from next time onwards @Heisenberg_Hunter you start taking a joining fee.

Three spots are still open any takers?

2 -
4 -
6 -

It has been more than a month now guys!




The reason of doing it free is that more and more people come to this group thread and join it. So, this will lead to more of participation and communication in other threads as well. And just consider that being free it is taking time and imagine if you make it chargeable then it may take more than double the time than it takes now to fill it.
202  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Big companies have started investing in bitcoin as a safe asset on: September 18, 2020, 04:44:37 PM
As we already know that Bitcoin us an avenue to invest money that is not in use for a particular period of time, so therefore, companies can invest in Bitcoin to save money that they don't intend to spend aside from running capital and concurrent capital in order to keep the company running and to avoid bankruptcy.

Good to see even the companies have started adopting or investing in bitcoin during this time and may be this number will continue to grow. Only thing I fear if at a point of time all this companies or few if  they happen to sell together then it will be a huge chaos in the market as will drastically fall and then to add more panic sellers will also come into picture.

I can’t believe that there are players that would really go this far, if I were to put myself in their shoes, I can’t imagine if how will I take it if I lose these huge amounts. I would probably be devastated and won’t gamble for a time.

At times even if you lose like 100$ it is so much stuck at times in head so just imagine what would have happened for those who like lost millions of dollars. Though it is their own fault as they never knew when to stop and knowing that in gambling losing is very easy than winning it. So playing just for entertainment helps at this times because after certain time you will be able to stop when you lose a considerable amount.


You can say that if you have really good control of your emotions, many gamblers start from that mindsets, saying that they are capable of losing such amount and they are just doing it to have some fun, but in the long run where to much participations took place this habit to be entertained changes to aggressive types of gambling where chasing losses always taking place.

Instead of looking at the greatest gambling losers, it will be better if we look and discuss the winners of the gambling. This will not only motivates us but also we can learn how those successful gamblers control their emotions and keep on winning big amounts.

Yes that is true but also we cannot neglect this part as well because addiction of gambling to any person could be very easy and then what happens is that we know by reading such stories or knowing from other experiences. So knowing all this facts and then reading about it will help to know both sides of story and accordingly one can plan and decide to gamble and be in their control.

Just know how to stop when you already made even amall profit. You always win when you have this attitude, and not thise those who always ask for huge profit.

Things would be better if this principle people can follow and apply in life when to stop and not fall for more greed. Majority of them falls for this and in the end, we know what happens and this is reason where they later blame other than themself. Also, one who is not ready to take risk better to stay away than regret later.

This will put people in dilemma as what is happening as some were saying it has frozen the accounts related to crypto and now this ad shows otherwise. Though still the picture is not clear as hearing news that the constitution may pass the bill of ban in coming session and this would mean that it would have to stop all this thing.
206  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: My portfolio on: September 17, 2020, 05:09:28 PM
I think during the start of bull run and if your risk profile is high then you must invest more in altcoins as they have a high chance of going up.But alamo Mind the risk.

If investing in top altcoins then it is fine but something which is just hype or can rise in short time only so chances are that the fall could be drastic and even when other coins including bitcoin is rising you coin may continue to fall and this may be bad for your portfolio. So, one should access the risk and based on that should create the portfolio for themself.

During this outbreak, I sold homemade masks which I produced with my husband and sister online...
utilizing social media and e-commerce sites is highly recommended to develop a business during this outbreak because the reach will be wider. I started selling masks online in early May when my sister and husband took a break from their work and the income we got was pretty decent.
Something which you can take it online and never done it then this is the right time to do it. I have few friends who were not online but considering the current situation where people are avoiding going out so online buying has increased so they took this as an opportunity and started to do well in online by getting listed on some sites.
208  Other / Off-topic / Re: What Do you do in your free time? on: September 17, 2020, 10:14:10 AM
Go for a walk, read books, exercise or at time listen to some songs and dance along with it. Since due to social distancing and avoiding the meets so not meeting with friends now and only, we have a chat on phone calls now unlike previously. This is also a different situation and trying to make the most of it.

209  Local / Buyer/ Seller Reputations (India) / Re: I was scammed by a person named Rubi Khatun on: September 16, 2020, 04:45:29 PM
There are so many people out there who are getting scammed everyday I will suggest everyone not to reply them even I get daily mail from scammers regarding money investment but I never reply them because I already knew that they want to do scam nowadays they are using telegram so I will request everyone not to send money to anyone
Greed makes you blind that is why most people got attracted when they hear the words huge returns but making money is not east in reality so never lose your money for greediness...

Don't trade with someone via other social media, just go with official sites like exchanges or p2p for trading cryptos.

Very important point that trade only with the reputed exchanges or P2P etc which existing from long time and not a fraud. Else if trading with any unknown person or in any group etc without any escrow might lead to high chances of getting scammed in today's time.
210  Local / Press & News from India / Re: Bitcoin should be regulated as stocks in India ,says Think Tank Founder on: September 16, 2020, 04:32:04 AM
I dont think Indian government will regulate bitcoins anytime soon. They set up a committee recently and they suggested that all the all the crypto currencies should be banned in india. Government wants to ban bitcoin while supreme court doesn't.

Till now government has not being in supportive of crypto as such and in last couple of years we have not heard anything positive form government side. Only it was SC court that made it legal and allowed to open back but again government has the power and they may not want it to be legal. Just wondering why, they don’t work on making it legal and regulate if they have that much problem.
211  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is It The Best Time to Sell Ethereum (ETH) on: September 16, 2020, 04:26:47 AM
Why, current time is for selling when the btc will keep moving up and may even cross 11k soon and with this ETH may rise above 400$ in coming time so it is ideally time to buy unless those who are very pessimist that the fall is on cards and market will crash then only they can buy else better to hold or buy it.
212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do think about skill games? on: September 15, 2020, 10:37:02 AM
Skills game is loved by me, but major games in gambling are luck based just like slot, roulette etc. Here it’s more of luck that helps you winning the game. But some cards game does require the skills in order to win against the opponent and it is fun to play such types of games.
213  Economy / Economics / Re: COVID19 VACCINE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH? on: September 15, 2020, 08:28:35 AM
Even if the vaccine is made it will take a long time to get it in the market. Although Russia has taken steps to develop the vaccine it has not yet been able to do so. If it is tested with another person's body then it is berth no one has given up yet everyone is trying to make a vaccine. The country's economy will not be fully controlled until vaccines are available even though the health rules are followed a little less later the infection is appearing again.

I am not expecting the vaccine now in this year as its being long where claims were coming it would be finalised shortly but nothing yet. So now in next year once the vaccine is available and creating for the whole world would be a huge task so may be in 2nd half people might start to get it.
214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Police Raids and kids involving spider betting. on: September 15, 2020, 05:43:25 AM
In my country which is the Philippines in my Child, I played also spider fighting but I've never involved money even I'm a child before.
During pandemic hoping all the parents will guide their children because like what we happen some of minor are betting or gambling using the spider and we know their are not mature enough to think what is right and wrong so the parents need to pay of what their children they do because they know what is the role of parents.

Sad to see there is a lot of minor who are betting right now instead of studying they are playing gambling which is really wrong because at their age they need focus to their study for their future.

Indeed it is little sign of worry as if child starts getting involved for gambling at such an early age then once they get used to make money from this way then it will impact their studies, they would not be involved much in other creative thinking and sports and only will want to gamble to make easy money which they may think. I hope each parent take care of their child and see if they are not involved in gambling from such an early age.
215  Other / Off-topic / Re: What's the longest shift you've ever worked? on: September 14, 2020, 02:31:32 PM
48 hours...
Before I married, I worked in a large pharmaceutical distribution company and every year we always check the warehouse inventory, at that time there were some items that did not match our quantity with our system, so we looked for track records and where the goods were for 2 days.

This is really crazy as working for 2 days is really tiring and long. Unless it’s the passion and the hobby on which you work for so long is understandable as then you do not consider it as a job and drive and force with you is much better when you are doing job at somebody else company. But certainly, this drain the energy and after certain hours the energy just keep on dripping and after certain time you are not that productive.

There is a debate happening that there is a chance that second wave could hit the country and if this happens India would be effected most badly with it since currently approx. 0.1 million cases are being recorded daily and if second wave comes it would be unimaginable how many cases could rise and what will happen to people and their businesses.
217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there any truly safe bets in sports betting? on: September 13, 2020, 11:24:03 AM
Greetings! When I started betting on various events, I kept putting money on the options that were offering high payout but, naturally, weren't that likely to come true. I kept losing, so I decided to go for a radical change: betting only when the winner is pretty obvious and the payout is low but more or less secured. I won a few bets in a row like that, but my question is whether you'd consider it a good strategy for sports betting. I'm talking about bets for which the odds are 1.15 or something like that. Here're some bets I won like this:

Are these bets as safe as they seem? Would you go for this strategy or not? Why?

This might be safe for short term but in the long run you will lose your money because there will be matches where the favorite team will lose and hence you will lose the money.
As as example, you keep betting 100$ on these safe bets and earn 5$-15$ per bet. Lets suppose you won consecutive 5 bets and won 25 dollars but lost the next match and lose your 100$.



Yes, this is correct as there are matches which in the ends changes its course completely and other team wins it. So, in such cases you might lose the bet. So, one can mix of both like certain percentage you can bet on this type and remaining it can be done with better odds so that you can take advantage of both.

The whole gambling industry are developed and focused on you not leaving your chair. Why do you never see windows in a brick n mortar casino and no clock or watch in the building? (They want you to forget about the time, because the longer you are there, the more they win)

They will also host hourly giveaways or events to keep you from leaving ...(most online casinos host that in their chat screen in the form of Trivia questions or some kind of bet challenge)

It takes a lot of self discipline and also active awareness of your surroundings to break that influence on you.  Wink

It is their business and gamblers need to know it. For watch people now have mobile or watch on their hand so knowing time should not be an issue. Yes, they do not put purposely and those who do not have much control on themself will in the end might lose the money and this is how the casino would keep making money, more people lose money more they make profits.
219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Police Raids and kids involving spider betting. on: September 13, 2020, 08:29:26 AM
Gambling and betting for fun both are similar to the government but when kids does this inside their house or somewhere close to it then no one is going to identify it.And if this kind of gathering and betting goes against the laws then the kids also should face the legal actions for juvenile crimes.

It is also a serious issues because this is the age of them to study, play different games and enjoy without thinking about gambling or anything related to money to bet on since they are underage and surely either parents were not taking care of their child, or this guys are really smart to escape from them and gamble it. They will now have to face the laws and this may affect their future career as well.
