2061  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Another post cautioning you of influencers on: September 27, 2023, 09:52:40 AM
So there is travel youtuber called Passenger Paramvir, he appears honest and genuine guy and I love his videos.

However, in one of videos that I watched recently he promoted the 1xbet which is obvious scam gambling site.
You cant blame the guy for not knowing the bad reputation these guys have around the internet, because firstly his not a gambler, secondly these are the kind of gigs these guys look for to get easy money!

Besides, I have noticed on how aggressive 1xbet is with promotions and using the most happening influencers currently in so many different countries and surprisingly nobody puts them to their defense with the bad reputation!!

Otherwise the onus is on the player to do his/her own research and make an informed decision on what services to use or not.


Now, I don't have anything on these guys, I'd do same in my signature, I wouldn't bother much what I'm promoting as long as I'm having my payment.

Point being, do your own research before you do anything, don't heed anyone blindly, no matter how popular they may be. Here in India, popular actors promote tobacco as if it's some healthy thing.

I just wanted to post, I'm aware there are countless such topics already.
Like how you come out to defend yourself with the tobacco promotion  Grin, and to add on this the manufactures themselves do put tobacco is harmful to your health which leaves all this on the user making the right decision as an adult  Cool

2063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Spanish La Liga ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread 2023/2024 on: September 27, 2023, 05:06:02 AM
Before the match I was thinking that Barcelona would get tired in the second half of the match after playing a Champions League match on weekday and their performance would drop. However the other way around happened. They managed to win 3-2 by making an unbelievable comeback in the Celta Vigo match of which they entered the last 10 minutes 2-0 behind.
I think these Barcelona guys are trying to be crowned comeback kings of La Liga, just yesterday they did the samething of chasing the game against Mallorca who scored first thanks to home advantage but luckily they did manage to salvage a draw in a game that looked like Mallorca would win.
Btw, Champions league is around the corner again and am expecting their best players to be rested against Sevilla and am expecting a similar performance of a draw/lose for FCB especially that Sevilla is back to winning ways and will be looking to get on a winning run.

Nice detailed explanation on volatility and it's decline!

If an average Joe who was into crypto was asked if Bitcoin was a volatile asset to own, am more than confident the answer would be No.
And it's quite shocking to see what's happening because the wild swings where expected to increase with more players getting into the market and in turn increase crypto
activity  and demand but shockingly the markets are quiet and  stable...
2065  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Quality over Quantity on: September 26, 2023, 07:45:27 PM
Recently I've seen alot of threads where people just jump into writing an incredible episode without putting their readers into consideration.
I'm not a fan of reading very long articles and most times I think some posts ought to be simplified and summarized to get ease of attention and from my observation,  it seems most users confuse quantity with quality and think, writing very long post simply means the post has quality  which is wrong.

I've seen very short and straight to the point post doing extremely  very well on the forum and people ought to them learn from  them.
Totally agree, certain topics do need to be written in detail and that's very much understandable(like a walkthrough for example), but in threads where details aren't really necessary and one wants to read several posts and alike.. personally it will be a TLDR.

Besides quality Information needs to communicate, user targeted, relevant and straight to the point..if it has these qualities then it should be considered as a quality post, just my 2cents!
2066  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: No matter the pressure don't release on: September 26, 2023, 06:47:54 PM
Well said OP!!

Anything to do with p2p transactions should be based on a no trust relationship nomatter the reputation one holds on the platform!!!

Am pretty sure network problems do happen once in a while, but be it a bank transfer, or whatever mode you prefer to receive funds in... better you confirm funds to have reflected on your end than receiving stories that the buyer/seller has sent funds which are pending and the person need coins released from escrow by putting you under pressure... Anything that says pending should tell you "not" to hit the release funds out of escrow as that's your only bargaining chip should something go wrong before you confirm receipt of funds!!
2067  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Warning] Even the official links aren't safe anymore. on: September 26, 2023, 04:59:39 PM
Thanks a lot for sharing this news. I am not a regular user of the Houbi exchange for many reasons, one of which was the recent news about the liquidity problems that Houbi is facing. Many people warned here on BTT to withdraw funds from that exchange. And I hope many have withdrawn their funds. I don't know if you are aware of the current hack that occurred in Houbi Exchange.
Just catching up with this hack now, and am surprised that the amount lost was not a colossal sum like what we used to seeing...

Perhaps the warnings did not fall on deaf ears and people did actually listen & moved funds out of the exchange.

Hackers took around $8 million; they belonged to China and also got caught, and they were given a time of 7 days to return the funds with a 5% bonus.
Looking at how fast it took to find the culprits makes this sound/look like an inside job and whoever cracked this had an easy lead to follow.

Oh btw didn't see anything that said they caught these guys besides their bluff of "we know your identity note on addy" are these guys serous lol

To be honest, I like the way they take opportunities and do not leave any door open for the users to not become victims of the hack.
Unfortunately hackers are more resourceful in finding all these loopholes and if our crypto companies don't take an aggressive approach in trying to zero down on all these system breaches we shall keep getting such news year in, year out!!

Best approach is to have lucrative bug bounties to fight all this...
2068  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are the benefits of combining fundamental and technical analysis? on: September 26, 2023, 03:48:26 PM
5. Flexibility in Strategies
Not sure if I interpreted this correctly, but anything to do with jumping from one strategy to another just shows that one hasn't polished the strategy one is currently using and this is a sign of gambling and experiments!

Otherwise I am leaning towards the technical analysis side of things and the only time I get to use fundamental analysis is when news is coming out and I stay away from the matkets as the volatility is high during these times.

Goodness. I went to bed expecting my rank to drop from 6th to 8th or 9th. Not 18th  Embarrassed

I guess that's what an 8-0 Newcastle thumping does to you.

These competitions are just too competitive, one bad run and you swimming in the deep end

Sell all Chelsea assets. All they do is give your squad constant trouble.
Chelsea is a letdown week in week out!

Personally, I banked on these guys to have a good run of games for about 4-5 game weeks and they have blanked terribly...

What's even painful about owning Chelsea assets is that they can't keep a clean sheet in a game where they are considered favorites, and worse off they can not find the back of the net either  Cry

At this point I have no choice am going to sell all my Chelsea assets, don't mind taking several hits on this one  Grin

Time for some Newcastle assets, might catch an 8nil victory Grin



2070  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: please help me? on: September 26, 2023, 01:07:44 PM
Looking at the address provided by the OP, these funds were transferred out on Aug 29, 2023, 6:52 PM UTC but unfortunately there isn't enough information to work with...

And with Bitcoin being Pseudonymous and anonymous in nature, you can not track down a user using a Bitcoin address alone especially if the address hasn't been posted by a forum user here on BCT.

OP is this a deal gone wrong or something, whats happening?

@Op If the money is large enough, you can try reaching out to Binance Support and reporting the scam transaction to them to see if there is anything that could be done from their end, maybe restricting the user account (which I don't know how possible that can be), or monitoring the user closely and trying to figure out what really happened if it was a scam or a business gone wrong.

Seems this wallet was swept in one transaction and Total spent was 0.10327072BTC ~ 2,694.23USD

As for Binance stepping in, is it even possible for them to give a listening ear especially since this will be one-sided without the other party giving their side of the story on what transpired to defend themselves..?

2071  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could the rise and popularity of cryptocurrencies be a vivid example? on: September 26, 2023, 12:16:41 PM
Many currencies lose value as a result of inflation. Many people believe that cryptocurrency can protect them from inflation.
Cryptocurrencies will actually do some damage to a country as all foreign exchange will be going through crypto and not the local currency which could be the recipient . But honestly speaking, tackling inflation isn't a one factor that tackles all scenario, a country has to stimulate trade or in some instances, the central bank will have to try and make cash scarce to try and bring inflation down artificially which is a quite complex process on its own.

Bitcoin puts a hard limit on the total number of coins that can ever be created. For example, as the growth of the money supply outpaces the growth of the bitcoin supply, the price of bitcoin will rise. Many other cryptocurrencies employ the same approach to limit supply and act as a protection against inflation. In terms of amount, the ASCII computer file specifies only 21 million bitcoins released. As a result of increased demand, the value will rise, possibly keeping up with the market and preventing inflation in the long run.
Considering the subject was in relation to a currency...Not sure if this is called inflation when you refer to Bitcoin and the effects of supply and demand, afaik to me this is mere volatility!
2072  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bybit expects to exit UK market on: September 26, 2023, 11:53:55 AM
If you can remember the regulation that Canada made in the beginning of this year or so, the exchanges that could not cope with the new regulation of a prohibition on the part of the CTP in respect of clients buying or depositing stable coins through crypto contracts without the prior written consent of the CSA all left Canada. OKX, Biannce and Bybit all left Canada at different time when they know that they can not comply.
Regulation proving to be a double-edged sword atm!!
One second we are all bullish with the coming of Bitcoin ETFs(regulated), then the next second regulation is breaking what crypto has built over the years...What do we really want?

And why are the affected users not voicing out their views on the harsh regulations at hand such that reputable exchanges are exiting their countries, are people forgetting what makes a government is the people of the country themselves and they have the power to make a change to bad laws ??

Perhaps we missed the memo that the citizens of Canada & the UK are okay with the regulations at hand  Roll Eyes

2073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Trust RNGs (Random Number Generators) in Casinos? on: September 26, 2023, 10:52:58 AM

After going through a couple of threads on the Gambling Discussion topic I noticed how divided the views are on trusting the RNG and the fairness of most casinos in general. So I wanted to ask everyone - Do you trust the RNGs and why?
Only users that have managed to hit some big multipliers will say Random Number Generators are real, otherwise if you have never hit one after chasing to catch one for a longtime and never winning anything will keep you saying these generators are rigged.

But imo I know that casino games are a game of luck, and to win you need to keep playing to make your own luck...you honestly can't play one or two rounds and expect to catch a 1000X multiplier that easy.

2075  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Mixin Safe: A Convenient and Decentralized Multisig + MPC + Timelock solution on: September 25, 2023, 07:26:11 PM
Is the 200 million customers’ money? Are people serious about saving all this service?

That surprises me that people are using this Mixin Safe to store their cryptocurrencies and 200 million is not a small amount.
200 million gone, jeez the last couple of months has been rough on our crypto companies...

Talking of Mixin Safe, I want to believe this is an air-tight product especially since it's built around multisig and looking at the processes involved in getting to our coins...a hacker needs enough keys to be granted access i.e OWNER key/ MEMBERS key..

But seeing the discussion here alleging  Mixin Safe is safe, but why hasn't the mixin ecosystem adopted/integrated the multisig features all round to guarantee security?? Perhaps this is only for the end-users but inhouse its a different on this...

They say too much of everything is bad, be it gambling, eating, you name it...which is why a limit to what we do is needed and this is called self-control or if you like risk management!

If you feel you don't have the self control, most gambling platforms have a self exclusion feature to help one stay away from the negative effects of gambling which isn't limited to gambling addiction, losing money, affecting relationships etcetera and it begins by identifying the problem, accepting it and working on it.

But the problem I see is people have huge ego's that they never want to be wrong or come out as a loser which is why these gambling problems come from, otherwise winners know when to stop!

Am not a marriage counselor of any sort but seeing conflict, husband, and wife all in one sentence..this  spells out communication breakdown, and for a marriage to work the foundation is built on it!

Btw reading through the article, am made to believe the wife wanted out of the marriage and  she was patiently waiting  for her man to f**kup which he did and  her wish became true...this has nothing to do with the crypto investment the husband lost!
And unfortunately, the article is equally poorly written as it has left out some valuable information leaving us to speculate on what happened, and from what I have got from the article.. this has kind of painted a picture of husband and wife living in  two seperate homes and a jealous husband that doesn't want to move on..otherwise this turned out o be some telenovela lol
2080  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Psychology and tips on: September 25, 2023, 07:36:55 AM
Several valid points in the OP which I totally agree with, but another thing that tends to mess around with our psychology is a losing trade...

You know how you get to analyze your charts and pinpoint areas where you will be buying or selling, but trade goes against your A setup and think your strategy or analysis did not work and choose to jump on another strategy to try to catch some winners... well the problem isn't always about the strategy, sometimes external factors beyond our control like news come into play which affect a potential winning trade and turns it to a losing trade and should tell us we must accept that we shall not always win, losses are part of trading!

If a trader is mentally not strong, then he isn’t fit for the crypto market I guess.
Fake it till you make it  Roll Eyes

Otherwise, mechanical trading is the way to go to counter one's shortfalls of trading!!
