2061  Economy / Economics / Re: Bullish or nuts? Fidelity predicts $100M bitcoin in 2035 on: September 02, 2021, 08:55:29 PM
I think 100 million per coin is nuts, but they're probably making this prediction intentionally because they want to pump the price as much as they can and profit from it (they are not a disinterested party), but like a few years ago, financial experts were saying Bitcoin would go down to zero (which is clearly an overstatement) because they thought they could kill it and keep doing their traditional investments safely. Even considering what dkbit98 is pointing out that 100 million in 15 years is not 100 million now, unless they mean that dollar would become pretty worthless and suffer from hyperinflation, I don't think Bitcoin will be worth that much.
Do not think of it like today. 100 years ago today there were houses sold for few bucks, sure there were still some houses going for thousands of dollars, but even the biggest house wasn't 100k, it was much much less than that, you got a whole mansion for 5k, and you could have gotten some wooden shed type place (where Abraham Lincoln was more) for under 100 bucks. Today houses start from 50k at the worst place ever and go for 50+ million dollars for those huge mansions, of course they are much better looking but that shows you the inflation.

This is just houses we are talking about, people were living with 2-3 dollar salaries monthly, like 5 bucks was a good salary per month, now you need 5k not to be poor. This means 100 million dollars per bitcoin is not impossible, it is not a dream, it just something that will take a long time to reach, and by that time 100 million of that day will be similar to few million dollars of today.
2062  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or altcoins on: September 02, 2021, 07:46:24 PM
Bitcoin is the dominant currency among cryptocurrencies. In the long run, investing in it will be more profitable and will yield higher profits.
The market value of altcoins is still relatively small, generally following the rise and fall of the price of Bitcoin, but the fluctuation range will be greater than that of Bitcoin.
You can choose Bitcoin and relatively safe and reliable altcoin portfolio investment to reduce risks and loss of profits.

Bitcoin has always dominated the market, so of course the risk of investing in Bitcoin is lower than altcoins. So it is safer to invest in Bitcoin than
altcoins, especially if we are planning a long-term investment, Bitcoin is the best choice. Even altcoins price movements usually follow Bitcoin
price movements. Another advantage of Bitcoin is that if the price falls, it recovers faster than altcoins. Especially for beginners, it is better to focus
on investing in Bitcoin, because making a profit from Bitcoin is indeed easier than investing in altcoins. We just need to be patient waiting for
the Bitcoin price to reach the sell target we want.
The problem here is that when you have something that is low risk, then you usually have low reward with it as well and that is what some people are afraid of. I mean think about it this way, if you have two options, option A is either make 2x profit or lose 50% and option B make 10x profit or lose 90%, then which one would you pick? Many people pick option A which is bitcoin and that is why it is high ranked as well, I understand it and it is certainly something that we should promote, however there are some that pick option B as well, which is basically the option that is altcoins and very risky ones as well.

I have seen people invest into things that looked like scams just so that they could get in, make a ton of money and get out before the scam happens. So, altcoins are not that horrible for some people.
2063  Economy / Economics / Re: The lending problem on: September 02, 2021, 07:12:53 PM
you missed the entire point of my post, and the post I was responding to. At least business banks and development banks actually do give out money or capital for no collateral (they require a good business plan and an interview to determine you have a good business idea and the skills to make it work). So they are actually doing more for the working class and "unbanked" than Defi.

My problem isn't about the way the world works, needing money to make money. My problem is how Defi blatantly puts itself out as champions of unbanked and what not. Defi isn't novel. It's the same system that exists, just on blockchain. Decentralized? Did you read about Poly and BSC hacks and how the companies are working with exchanges to hold and freeze funds? It's just p2p lending, an upgrade of existing lending schemes.
Banking is not all about lending and loans, banking also involves around putting your money into some place, and yes sometimes get a loan if you need, and also there are ton of profit making parts of it as well, all of which comes down to the fact that we are in a DeFi world where you can use it just like a bank maybe with a problem at the loan part.

Unbanked people are unbanked, they are not reaching any banks at all, they do not have that chance, either bankrupted or in a town without a bank, many reasons could be causing them to be unbanked but in crypto all you have to do is have internet connection and defi could be banking you and even making you profit while you sleep. They are not the best at it, but what you get as banking in London is not what you get in Zimbabwe, so a guy in Zimbabwe using pancakeswap is much better than what they have there.
2064  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase Sponsors New MrBeast YouTube Video! on: September 02, 2021, 06:14:11 PM
Watch it here now: https://youtu.be/zxYjTTXc-J8

That should also serve as some motivation for our soon to be launched Bitcointalk YouTube channel as what sponsors are achievable in the space! Go Coinbase! Great to see my favorite things coming together. This will no doubt spur a little adoption boost for the day.
That's amazing and I was actually watching an Esports tournament and gladly enough, it was sponsored by Coinbase as well. It was a CS: GO tournament and there was a logo at the bottom and the casters were calling it something like Coinbase economy (the game uses the word economy to highlight the money each team has)

It seems like Coinbaseis actually making some insane partnerships and advertising in the most creative and effective ways. It would be a moment to behold if Coinbase can actually sponsor a huge tournament and become the title sponsor in the future.

How exactly MrBeast is going to promote or help Coinbase? Hope not with silly videos. Because the audience of it are mostly kids or people far from crypto. Or if he will just place a banner or dont say a single word about cryptocurrency (Im not even speaking about its description), then it will a total waste of money.
Not really a waste of money because the brand is being advertised to millions of viewers and subconsciously even if not promoted directly, people remember the brand.

I didn't have the patience to watch the entire video but the video description has a healthy mention of coinbase and even a referral link.
2065  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The life span of bitcoin is till infinity on: September 02, 2021, 05:41:54 PM
The number of followers of Bitcoin is increasing day by day. There are Bitcoin investment enthusiasts all over the world. We can all see the daily transaction volume and amount. There may be new investment products in the future, but Bitcoin will not disappear. Bitcoin coexists with people.
Bitcoin will always remain like you said but I'm afraid at one point the cost of transactions and hence confirmations will be really high. Since we are talking about the life span and infinity, I cannot imagine why the miners would continue mining the Bitcoins if they aren't getting any block reward. Once all the coins are mined out and the block reward is almost zero, we technically need to spend enough BTC in the transactions for the miners to actually mine a block. I don't have the technical understanding of how things will work in the future when we reach such a stage but it terrifies me.
2066  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online sexy casinos on: September 01, 2021, 08:20:58 PM
People who go to that casino are wealthy and can play gambling with a lot of money. Those girls will always cheer them and telling them to play with more money. Those girls really help the casino grow from time to time because if those girls can work good for their business, it will not take too long to see their members grow. That means, their profits will become bigger and maybe they will give some bonus to their members.
This is not even just about girls being supportive of the rich people who gamble there, obviously that's a lot of the deal but we are talking about NUDE girls there, which adds in another layer to the situation. I have seen places with girls who are taking their tops off when people win, so you have a bigger incentive to win, people keep on gambling just to win and make the girl take off their top, and that is why it is really a big deal.

It makes people feel strong, not physically strong but more about the power they have. If you have enough money then you can gamble and make a women remove their shirt, how powerful would that make you feel? This is the thing that these casinos abuse, they abuse the need for man to have power over other people, it could be other man too but removing their pants doesn't sound like something most men would want to do Cheesy but making them feel powerful is a very important tool.

Bump
With so many legit questions asked and the biggest of them being "Why have you listed a well-known scam betking?" you are just ignoring them and continue to bump your thread.

It looks like you are only interested in making money by spreading your affiliate links rather than actually reviewing and listing genuine casinos. Listing betking as "Lightning Fast Dice" is almost the proof of it.

The criticism might soon turn out into some negative feedbacks because you have already been given the benefit of doubt but you just ignore the questions and continue bumping and haven't delisted betking either. Promoting a scam is as bad as scamming someone.
2068  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀-Sportsbet.io-🚀 - Main sponsor of Southampton FC 👋👋 on: August 30, 2021, 05:52:33 PM
Just home from the game, kinda disappointed with a draw but it’s early in the season. Thought Lukaku was anonymous, maybe the hype about him can be quiet now.
Thanks for the photo, means a lot to us who aren't able to just pop off to Anfield when we feel like it Smiley

From neutral side, game lost much of its appeal when James got red card. Deserved, no doubt, but we all knew what the game will look after that. Chelsea defending with all players behind the ball and LFC trying to breach that lines. Lukaku will be great for Chelsea this season, he is great at keeping the ball and providing his teammates with good chances, sort of like he did for Kovacic towards the end of the game. When you are striker playing in a squad that has been red carded you know you are in for shitty afternoon. Just look what Auba and Lacazette managed to do for Arsenal - they did not even touch the ball.
I do not know, I mean was it really "well deserved"? I think it was not an obvious red card, it was given so I can't say that it shouldn't but I can't say it was fully deserved neither, it looked so much like something worse than a yellow card but less than a red card.

This is why I suggest three cards in football. In these days I understand that people are not really feeling like watching 90 minutes of action, our attention span is getting lower, there are even talks about 30 minute - 30 minute total of 60 minute games, that seems like a big deal for now, but I am sure nobody would be too against 80 minutes after a while, at first everything gets a challenge but eventually it will be okay by many and we will get used to it, however historical stats will be a bit tougher. Same goes for cards, a new card between yellow and red would be very well, whatever it is, that way you get like maybe 10 minute penalty outside and go back in after 10 minutes? No idea what the punishment will be but this would fall right into that level.
2069  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't invest more than you can afford to lose? on: August 30, 2021, 05:19:35 PM
Some people said that 'Don't invest more than you can afford to lose.' 
As long as people keep being afraid of investing into stuff because they do not think that they will be able to afford it, you will not end up getting rich neither. Do you think that all the people in the world who became rich did nothing financially irresponsible? Some of them had rich parents so they were lucky, sure Elon is a rich guy but he had rich daddy that paid all his costs plus he is still using slave labor in mines at Africa to get cheap stuff for his cars, so yes sometimes you are a lot more allowed in the world then what you and I can do.

However even if you do not have that, just go out there, make a mess, ruin your finances, live a very poor one year if you failed, but then get up and do it again and again because you know why? If you do not do it, then you will never be rich and the chances are your kid will not be neither, you have to take risks, I take them all the time, once I got a brand new car, the other time I lost so much that I am still paying debts, there are always goods and bads.

Personally I use Bovada ( https://www.bovada.lv/ ), which I think at one point in time used to be called Bodog-  https://www.gamblingsites.org/history/bovada/.
Bovada? Seems like a complete new gambling house as I have never come across it. Do they have official topic on this forum? What are the cryptocoins available with them to bet with? Because, these days just bitcoin and ethereum cannot be enough for me as I keep on switching (in recent past dogecoins and right now tron) hence wide availability of different coins is definite requirement for me even it is just about sportsbetting.

I do bet on at least 5 different platforms and I do not want to list all of them but the criteria I do follow is availability of one sport event and then my bankroll balances which is usually highly depending on my prediction accuracy.

when I saw the majestic competition I was really excited, but then I opened the terms and realised that KYC was mandatory if you won and that was a turnoff. Also do you’ll feel that FJ should exempt KYC up to certain amounts eg 0.10 btc, because this could boost small gamblers confidence in wagering there.
Yeah, that is how they get you, if they offer so many things that requires you to have KYC then eventually you will either do KYC or you will leave for a website that doesn't have KYC, that is just how it is. I do understand that it is not going to be easy, I understand that it is going to take some for people to realize KYC is all around and you can't run away from it, however we will end up with KYC in every proper casino eventually. This is why I do not think that we have too much option, we are going to have to face this.

Yes, it is obvious that we have the same thing on exchanges as well but just because exchanges have it doesn't mean that casinos are fine too but if they all do then what can we do? I would prefer not give my KYC, I am not a drug lord, I do not money launder, all of my money comes from signature campaigns and hard work, but it is still getting asked KYC, in any case, we just have to accept the terms and move on, otherwise we can't gamble.

"you do not need millions of tickets to win something"
Thats true, however those who have more tickets has a great chance to win compared to those who have less. But overall when it comes to lottery its all about luck. Currently I prefer to save all my free spins, I think its much better to increase the chances of hitting nice rewards although it seems not related at all, but still, I like it that way.
As we can see from the latest results, it is obvious that you do not "need" to have that many tickets, I am not saying that it hurts your chances, but there is a point where people spend so much on the lottery tickets that it costs them money instead of wins them money even if they end up being in the top 10, I have seen people who had so much tickets that even if they won the first prize they would be in a loss.

In this case the question is, why do they even get that much ticket if even the first place is not profitable for them? And the answer is that they do not, they get it by gambling, and they are given those tickets, there are many people who get so many tickets because they gamble like crazy and with huge amounts as well, there are whales gambling here every day. This is why buying tickets makes no sense to me if you are a whale, just buy a thousand tickets if you want to, but anything more and I find it silly.
2073  Economy / Economics / Re: The Role of Government in Crypto on: August 29, 2021, 07:16:51 PM
Well, even if you're right, the government will have to force in themselves into the community because they also want a piece of the crypto pie meaning that even if we don't want them, we're still going to see them here no matter what but we are the people and we have power over them, we just have to unite which is the hard part.
Of course, the main factor is the number of users, if users continue to increase then our government will automatically make crypto rules, as long as the number of users is still small, of course the government will not care or get banned crypto. it is a long way to make change and patience is needed.
I also believe that we should not forget about scammers. Just because we do not want governments to meddle inside of crypto, doesn't mean we should not want laws regarding it neither. I do not mean like "you can't use it" type of laws, that's bad, but if someone scams me, I want to be able to go to police, file a report, and then get that person jailed as well.

If you make crypto like wild west where there is absolutely no law, then you are going to end up with a lot of scammers who are stealing from each other (like right now) where nobody does anything about it so they will grow bigger and bigger. KYC is a great example for that, thanks to KYC most exists out of crypto world is covered, which means if you scam people, and you are known as a scammer, moving that money from crypto to fiat into your bank account will be incredibly hard, hence why laws are required for that type of thing.
2074  Economy / Economics / Re: A way to make money online? on: August 29, 2021, 06:44:43 PM
I would suggest you to learn some skills according to your interest. In this digital word you can learn almost every skill for free online . And after that start freelance work and you will surely earn some good money. Currently I am learning digital marketing so you can try that as well.
Wow, that's cool. I agree that there are a lot of courses available online that can help you improve your skills and learn new ones. Though it takes time, if you put in the effort, you will be able to learn it and apply for jobs. Virtual Assistant is the most popular job on the internet right now, and most people are simply learning it online and applying for job openings. Since the pandemic, the majority of people are working from home, and the majority of them want to be freelancers. I'm also a virtual assistant now that I've recently lost my job, and I'm making money here on the forum and on Axie.
This is for most things as well, you could literally learn a ton of things in the crypto world but also outside of crypto world as well. I am taking marketing courses right now, it is great because it allows me to do it on my own terms as well, some days I do not check it at all, some days I have to work until midnight to finish my work, some days I have to be at hospital to take care of my aunt (one day me, one day her son) and that allows me to learn it at my own pace.

Normally it shouldn't take more than a week to finish the class, but I am trying to learn it as great as I can, and I am going to take google course next (for marketing/ads/seo etc) and it has been 2.5 weeks since I started the first one, so I already know it is going to take a month what takes others a week, but that's fine, it allows that. You can learn about crypto in your own pace as well, it is great.
2075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Cryptocurrencies on: August 29, 2021, 04:55:24 PM
It has nothing to do and will never have an impact on your luck, you'll win if luck goes on your side but it's better not to experiment just for the sake of knowing, but if you have the funds and wants to satisfy your curiosity, you can go on.
OP's case seems like having impact to luck factor but not sure how often they are changing coins to keep their luck to favor them. This is kind of superstitions. Gamblers do change strategy/casinos/dress color and etc and in crypto environment, they got another thing to feed their superstition belief. Probably if I am in profits in one particular coin then I may not switch to another coin for superstition reasons. But, as of now I am not ready to risk anything in gambling hence I make up mindset to gamble only for entertainment purposes hence I am not having any room for superstition right now.

When I accumulated 21k tickets a few months ago I had around 100 spins saved up. Since then I've had two other chances to spin over 100 times in a day but I have not yet beat my all time highest amount of tickets. When I had 21k I still did not win any lottery prizes.
But, I can't believe that there was no person with over 5k+ tickets to win anything from the last lottery.


This seems funny enough, I am sure there were people with millions of lottery tickets once again and none of them won anything, which proves the point of "you do not need millions of tickets to win something" once again, if I never win anything, it goes straight back to interest for me so it is not leaving freebitco.in (which I assume is a good thing for them) but it is really hopeful to see these results and continue.
2077  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why such high fees in ETH? on: August 28, 2021, 05:58:27 PM
What's going with gas fees? After the London fork, the gas fees only went up. They raised gas limit, and the blocks are half empty, even 5% - 15% filled, but gas fees are through the roof! It's not about limited capacity right now, yet it's very expensive. What is reason for that?

And what is minimum gasused multiplier?
When this new hype on NFT gaming ends or it moves to another token then we are going to end up seeing the gas fee down once again.

Because of the initial DeFi stuff we have seen people use ETH a lot and the gas fee was a lot as well, then we have seen people move to mainly BSC and into some other stuff as well which dropped the ETH gas fee a lot once again, nowadays it is NFT Gaming that makes ETH gas fee high again, which we do not really have any alternative just yet, there are some others like poly and enjin that people use but it is not wide spread yet which it will be eventually because of high gas fee on ETH, in that case it will drop again. Whenever a new thing comes out, it is first ETH that gets hyped and gas fee becomes insanely high, then slowly people find alternative coins and build their projects there which makes it go down.
2078  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Bull Tamed on: August 28, 2021, 01:18:07 PM
I think bitcoin has not been implemented optimally for now, big momentum will happen again in the next few months, bitcoin continues to be attacked by people who have great influence and interests, I think bitcoin bulls have not been tamed for now.

There are several investors who can influence the value of bitcoin, continue to chase bitcoin prices to keep going up, even they are preparing some big agendas for bitcoin's survival at the end of this year, I'm sure by the end of this year bitcoin will reach fantastic numbers.
Bitcoin will never be tamed, the bulls are always out there looking for the future and not right now, and that is why they can't be tamed. If the price falls to 20k in the next 1-2 month, that is still not enough to tame me, I would buy so much more bitcoins if I had the money, it is better for me because if I buy them cheap then I make more money, but even if it doesn't fall in price, I will still buy it, I wouldn't have as much bitcoins but I would still spend fiat to get btc because that is just smart.

Many people and now even companies think like me and that is why I believe that we will be doing fine, bulls will be buying more and more, sellers will sell as much as they can but eventually they will run out of bitcoins to sell whereas buyers will keep on buying bitcoin because there are more and more fiat in the world every day, hence more money to buy bitcoins.
2079  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin August 2021 Target? on: August 28, 2021, 09:58:08 AM
Considering the last movements of Bitcoin price, we may not see Bitcoin reaching $51k and a level over it. After reaching $50k, the price got a serious correction. And it still has its affect on the price as Bitcoin is having difficulty in climbing to $50k again now. There are only four days left to the end of the month. I guess we won't see big things happening in such a short time.
Do not give up on bitcoin that quickly, there are still 4 days to go and that is a lot of time in bitcoin world because in span of few hours we may end up with a huge bitcoin price, or even drop a huge amount as well, it just happens so suddenly. We have seen it go from 50k+ to 47k in just one day, and I am sure that it may end up going from 48k to 51k+ in a single day as well, it is totally possible.

I am not saying that it will happen, I do not see the future just like everyone else, however I am just saying that the possibility of that is not over, it is definitely out there still and we could see it. If we are on 30th or 31th and still under 50k then I may consider it not happening, but right now as it is I do not see it as impossible. We just need one good bull run and we are going to be doing so much fine that it will not even be a question of "if" but "how did it even happen".
2080  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - Watford FC Main Sponsor - UFC Official Betting Partner ⚽ 🥊 on: August 27, 2021, 08:11:02 PM
Why does stake subtract $3.27 from my withdraw total when the Bitcoin fees was only $1.62  Huh  Huh  Huh
The withdrawal fee of any crypto can be fixed by the site you are using either that is any exchange or any gambling sites. For your withdrawal blockchain fee is 1.62$ but the site you are using fixed their withdrawal fee is to 3.27$ or the btc which is equivalent to 3.27$.
It should always be dynamic, the withdrawal fees should ALWAYS be dynamic, and it should be like that everywhere you go, not just on stake. If you deposited a lot of money and gambled a lot of money, like lost 1000+ dollars, then it should be free to withdraw whatever is left for you, same as VIP status thing, if you are a VIP then you should probably not pay a lot, depending on the amount and the frequency of course, if you wagered 100k here total, and lost 1k+ then you should be able to get one free withdrawal each month, and that is understandable, if you do it daily then it is not good, stake is not a wallet it is a casino.

Secondly if you are a newbie who hasn't gambled that much, they should charge you 5 bucks or more, because you should not use this place as a wallet to deposit and withdraw whenever you want to. That way they could balance things out very well and help the older customers not pay and keep them happy.
