2041  Economy / Economics / Re: Bryan Solstin, US Senate Candidate: I Will Make Bitcoin Legal Tender on: April 07, 2022, 11:09:57 AM
One senator cannot achieve anything by himself.There has to be a majority in both the US congress and the senate,in order for this to happen.This is simply impossible.
I remember that one US presidential candidate was promising mass Bitcoin adoption,if he gets elected(I don't remember his name,I only remember that he was Asian-American).
I assume that this Bryan Solstin won't even receive enough support from the Democratic party.
The democratic party supports only puppets of the Clinton family.
This means that he would never get elected.
2042  Economy / Gambling / Re: Do you want to be an admin of an online casino? on: April 07, 2022, 06:09:24 AM
This is hilarious. Grin
If I understand this "offer" correctly,basically OP is offering someone to "invest" in his shit casino in order to get hired as an admin.What's the point? Who would want to be an admin of a crypto casino for free?Is the "admin" going to get paid a salary for his work(other than the "dividend" from his "investment")?
OP can fire the "admin" after a day or two and just run away with the coins.
This is either a scam method or just a really weird business idea(that simply won't work).
This is not how you do business and build trust in the cryptocurrency gambling industry.
2043  Other / Off-topic / Re: An Unforgettable Day In my Crypto world on: April 07, 2022, 05:49:30 AM
When I'm new to this crypto sea,I wondered about many things that my boy shared who is a crypto marketer since 2013.He told about rise in value of all coins,trading,how altcoins played a role .I mesmirized seeing more than 1 crore he has in his pocket.His hardwork, his holdings finally went worthless because we lost everything in a single day owing to market crash the day we forced to cash out the holded money for a very emergency need. I lost my hope. My love towards crypto made me cry at last.we forced to pay debts.But Currently his hardwork again made me to get focused towards crypto ,also myself into it.I think a day comes I will share here again with an statement Crypto Saved My Life.

I guess that your son made a few mistakes,but that's alright.Mistakes are necessary,in order to learn valuable lessons in life.
1.Being too optimistic and kinda delusional about the future of altcoins.
2.Panic selling when the market prices crash.
3.Trading with funds you can't afford to lose.
Life is all about ups and downs,sometimes it gets really hard and after a month or a year,it gets way better.
I don't think that crypto "saved" your life.Crypto is just a tool.You and your son saved your lives by hard work and not giving up. 
2044  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Financial crimes against traders on: April 06, 2022, 11:58:44 AM
OP hasn't been active on the forum since April 1.Maybe he's too busy with his investigations and groundbreaking discoveries. Grin
Demanding information from BAKKT,CMEgroup and the Security and Exchange Commission?
Who are you?FBI or maybe Interpol? Grin
There are various pump&dump groups on Telegram and Discord,which might be scamming their users.Why don't you just report theses groups to Telegram and Discord?Posting on this forum won't change anything.
You have a newbie account.Nobody would trust you enough to send you valuable information about financial crimes and fraud.
2045  Economy / Economics / Re: Gold-backed ruble could be a game-changer on: April 06, 2022, 11:35:07 AM
I don't mind Russia and China trying to backup their national currencies with gold reserves.
A return back to the gold standard might be refreshing for the global financial system.
This might force the USA/EU to stop with the fiat money printing madness.
However,I don't believe that Russia will achieve anything other than just stabilizing it's own national currency.
This move simply isn't enough to replace the US dollar as the global currency.
The real thread for the US dollar would be all Asian countries and the EU dumping US dollar transactions.
So far the EU will remain under US influence and this isn't going to change anytime soon.
2046  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bit555 - Crypto Casino! Find More Unique Games! on: April 06, 2022, 06:05:26 AM
Why is this "Stay Tuned" type of forum thread?
Why OP doesn't publish an announcement when the casino is fully functional?
Such announcement threads simply cannot make me curious or interested in the project.
It actually makes me doubt the quality of the finished website.
So you have a bunch of dead social media pages a Discord server and a Github page.
That's great,but so what?
It's been a few days since your announcement thread,but your Github page is dead and your Instagram account is still standing at 0 posts and 0 followers.
That's some "great" social proof right there.It definitely shows OP's dedication for this project.
I really hope that OP will become more active in this thread and on the Bit555 social media accounts.

2047  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Curbing Blockchain evolution? on: April 06, 2022, 05:34:45 AM
The concept of blockchain technology with rise of Bitcoin in 2009 which has created a decentralized ecosystem where the transactions are peer to peer while bypassing third parties & their heavy commissions. The transactions are executed with fast speed and low cost also there is full transparency with a comfort that the user is not required to reveal his/ her identity. The moral is that you are having full control of your assets and can do transactions as per your will.
Further as more and more people are interested and using blockchain technology so what is the meaning of banning bitcoin/crypto? Can anyone ban bitcoin in reality or its a part of fud which is created repeatedly every 2/3 months to keep out weak hands and took advantage?

BTC transactions weren't always "fast speed and low cost".
I remember several time periods,when BTC transactions were "slow speed and high cost".
Yeah,you could bypass third parties by using Bitcoin,but in reality most BTC users ARE USING third parties-custodial exchanges.
Yes,Bitcoin can be banned by any government in the world,but that doesn't mean that all the Bitcoiners would stop using it.
Blockchain technology can be used without Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies.Many banks and financial services have stated that they want to adopt blockchain technology,but that doesn't mean that they would adopt Bitcoin/altcoins.
2048  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if all cryptocurrencies merged together? on: April 05, 2022, 11:32:40 AM
This sounds like the most stupid idea I've ever seen. Grin
How could the PoW and PoS blockchains get united into one big blockchain?Any idea about this,OP?
What's the point of Bitcoin merging with a thousand shitcoins and useless tokens?
What't the point of Bitcoin merging with centralized shitcoins like Ripple or even stablecoins like Tether?
Is this even possible?
The cryptocurrency industry needs competition,not cooperation,event though all the altcoins aren't real competitors to Bitcoin.
Many altcoin/shitcoin developers clearly hate Bitcoin Core.Do you think that they will join forces with the Bitcoin Core developers?I don't think so.
2049  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Free Gambling Course provided by OnlineGambling on: April 05, 2022, 11:10:40 AM
I have never played BlackJack and I don't plan to play BlackJack anytime soon.I've always been more interested into poker and I wish that more crypto casinos could publish their own online poker courses for free.
Having online poker/blackjack courses available for free is a great marketing approach that will attract many newbie players.At the end of the day,attracting newbie players might be a better strategy for a casino,rather than trying to attract all the hardcore gamblers.
2050  Economy / Economics / Re: How did we all get here? on: April 05, 2022, 06:45:20 AM
How did the USA get there?
1.Expensive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan(during the Bush and Obama administrations)
2.Paying off for the "too big to fail" banks and corporations during the 2008-2011 financial crisis.(the Obama administration spent around 5 trillion dollars).
3.Owning the "global money printing machine",since the US dollar is the global currency.
4.Lowering the taxes during the Trump administration.
5.Keeping the interest rates really low(or negative).
6.Allowing the rich and the big corporations to avoid taxation by using offshore companies.
7.Refusing to cut federal costs,because the voters are going to vote for the other party.

There's no point of having a balanced federal budget,since you could print all the money you want. Grin
2051  Economy / Gambling / Re: PRIMEDICE weak self-exclusion system on: April 05, 2022, 06:23:07 AM
Asking a casino to improve it's self-exclusion system is the same as asking an alcohol/tobacco store to stop selling alcohol and tobacco to people,who are addicted to drinking and smoking.It simply doesn't work.
Even if the Primedice self-exclusion system is way better,what can stop you from betting on another crypto casino?There are hundreds of crypto casinos out there.Can you self-exclude yourself from all of them?
Have you ever tried to seek professional help about your gambling problem?
The forum members here can you give you advise about your problem,but it's up to you to find a way to control yourself and your behavior.
2052  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you, or would you ever use a Bitcoin ATM? on: April 05, 2022, 05:57:41 AM
There aren't any Bitcoin ATMs in the town where I live.
Even if there were Bitcoin ATMs,I can't find any reason to use one.There's no point for me to use an BTC ATM.
Bitcoin ATMs are a dead business model,if you ask me.We have computers and smartphones,what's the point of ATMs?Using a BTC wallet on your computer or smartphone is way more convenient and probably cheaper.
ATMs are good for fiat money,not for crypto.I've been using ATMs for fiat money and I won't stop doing so.
2053  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Using BTC on Amazon Store on: April 04, 2022, 11:30:32 AM
AFAIK,new members on purse.io can only purchase physical gift cards on Amazon in exchange for BTC.
You will have to get thru several trades,in order to increase your account rank and unlock purchases of physical goods from Amazon.I'm not sure if this is currently the case with purse.io.
I was playing around with purse.io 2 years ago,but I decided to stop using this website,since I don't find any benefit from using it.
Purse.io is more or less dead,since most of the traders moved to alternatives like Paxful.
I have the feeling that websites like Purse and Paxful are mostly used by gift card scammers(people,who steal gift cards and redeem them for BTC).
2054  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-03-30] Apple is rumored to announce support for Bitcoin payments on: April 04, 2022, 11:08:47 AM
This seems like fake news to me.There isn't any valid evidence about those rumors.
Apple always had a more self-sustained business model.
They usually don't want to rely on other companies(except when they are outsourcing production in Asian countries) and they don't want to use technologies over which they don't have control.
Apple is the kind of company that would create their own "applecoin",rather than adopting Bitcoin or some altcoin.
I don't mind them adopting BTC payments,but there's no reason for them to do so.Who is going to use Bitcoin to buy an iPhone or Mac?Everyone is expecting the BTC price to hit another ATH sooner or later.
2055  Economy / Economics / Re: WTF? Food prices expected to raise up to 50% in German supermarket. on: April 04, 2022, 06:36:23 AM
20 to 50% seems pretty exaggerated.The food price growth will be more like 10-25%.
The European central bank must stop with the quantitative easing,but this might create big problems with the government debt of southern European counties like Greece and Italy.
Germany will have to re-launch it's nuclear power plants,in order to reduce the energy production by gas power plants.This will take some time.
I really hope that the war in Ukraine ends before June,so that Russia and Ukraine will be able to export grain and foods to Europe(if the western sanctions get removed).
The high levels of inflation in Europe and North America will continue in the next few years.
2056  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: April 04, 2022, 06:09:14 AM

Xavi really became Barcelona's savior. After being mired in the middle of the standings, Barcelona managed to rank 2 after beating Sevilla at Camp Nou. Barcelona must win every game in its path to put pressure on Real Madrid who are at the top of the table, losing point Real Madrid is an advantage for Barcelona. Real Madrid must be wary of the warnings given by Barcelona, ​​because if Real Madrid slips, Barcelona will take advantage.

Real Madrid would never slip,because the referees are here to help. Angry
All three penalties for Real Madrid against Celta Vigo were hilarious.That's why I've never liked Real Madrid that much.
They have all the money and all the great players in the world,and yet they still have to rely on support from the referees in order to win multiple matches.
The referees were supporting Real Madrid in the Zidane era as well.I remember many games,where the referees gave ridiculous penalties for Real.
Xavi has the potential to become the next Pep Guardiola for Barcelona,but they need better players in defensive positions.
2057  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain.com Wallet KYC on: April 04, 2022, 05:45:03 AM
Back in 2012-2013, I had a few Blockchain.com wallets, back then, no details were asked, there wasn't even an option to login via email. Recently, I received an email from them about a promotion. They were offering $5 in BTC, if you completed the KYC process, by providing your personal details, such as residence, uploading your driver's license, or other form of identification.

On top of that, they've now added a section about taxation of cryptocurrencies, providing you with the ability to export tax statements.

What are your thoughts about this? Do you think more and more services will adopt similar techniques?

A lot of things have changed in the cryptocurrency industry since 2012-2013.
Were you sleeping under a rock in the last 10 years. Grin
Yes,more and more services will "adopt similar techniques",because they are required by the laws and regulations.
It's weird that Blockchain.com is offering a financial incentive,in order to force it's users to ID verify themselves.
Most crypto exchanges would just say that ID verification is mandatory and won't offer 5 dollars.
Perhaps Blockchain.com wants to treat it's customers in a better way,despite the fact that I've heard many horror stories about people being scammed by this company.
2058  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which rookie candidate will make a better trader and quickly too? on: April 03, 2022, 11:31:20 AM
I would say none of the above options,but both options can be helpful along the way.
The best way to learn is by practice and by trial/error.
That doesn't exclude the two options you mentioned,but it depends of the "teacher" and the quality of the tutorials.If the mentor is really good,that would be a great supplement for the rookie traders,who are his students.
If the mentor is a fake "trading guru",then everything would be a waste of time and money.
The same thing applies to the online courses and tutorials.There are some good online tutorials and there are multiple shitty/mediocre online tutorials as well.

Billionaire Says Bitcoin May Significantly Exceed Its Previous 2022 Goals

Bitcoin has no goals. Bitcoin is a tool. A person wielding a tool may have a goal, but the tool itself has no goal.

I agree,but this is just a clickbait title.We shouldn't take it so seriously.
Many people view Bitcoin as investment tool and many Bitcoiners think that the Bitcoin price moving up is the most important thing in the world.
Mike Novogratz is a well known Bitcoin bull for years.Of course that he's going to be extremely bullish about Bitcoin.What he says is a bunch of gibberish.He's using BS to justify his bullish predictions.
The Bitcoin price will increase severely because of the war Ukraine?
There's a war in the last 38 days and the BTC price is still pretty volatile and going up and down.
I don't see a FOMO wave and a clear bull run in the Bitcoin market.
The Bitcoin price will increase because of the Metaverse and Web3?This is pure BS.

So ... Once again, "Russia as the cornerstone of the world economy" ? Are you seriously Huh? Why not Spain? Or like Italy?
Do you know why I laugh? Because in the WORLD economy, the share of Russia is 1.99%, and Italy is 2.44% !!! What is the impact of Russia on the world economy? 2%? The Italian economy is POWERFUL!

Comparing GDPs of different countries is pretty oversimplifying and kinda misleading.
Russia exports oil,natural gas and grain,which are essential for the global economy(especially for the European economy). Natural gas is being used in many industries and what would happen with the Italian economy,if Russia stops selling oil and gas to Italy?I assume that Italy might start buying oil and gas from somewhere else(at a higher price),which will eventually slowdown the growth of the Italian economy and lower the standard of living in Italy.
What if Russia stops exporting grain?This might create food shortage in Europe.
Anyway,this is an economic war between Russia and the western world,not between Russia and the entire world.Both Russia and the western world will suffer a lot from the sanctions.
