It is not just about security but also about cost. When you decide to use an altcoin to transfer your bitcoin's around that costs a lot more than just moving the bitcoins and paying the network fee even if at a higher rate. Because you'll have to first convert your funds to that altcoin (which costs an exchange fee that is growing with the size of the funds) and another to withdraw the funds and another to convert it back to bitcoin at the destination. That is all assuming the altcoin price didn't dump against bitcoin during that time, which we all know is not possible.
I know the cost to convert Bitcoin to altcoin on exchange, and risk of altcoin dump.

I originally meant if I have Bitcoin and altcoins in my portfolio on exchanges or my non-custodial wallets, I will choose one to use to save transaction fee if possible. My decision will depend on how much is the transaction? If it is big for me, I choose Bitcoin.

AA said that people should not complicate the back up procedure because when they lose one part of the complicated procedure, of the back up, they will lose the wallet.

I don't understand the very advanced points in Bruteforcing but I will take the advice from AA in his previous livestream.

Not at all only bitcoin is safe heaven for all users but most of them don't realise this until they get fooled in some altcoin and lost funds.
Lose fund from transactions and lose fund from trading or investment are different. I think you implied about trading or investment, not transactions.

Quote
When your send bitcoin in transaction you don't need to worry about it as the network is secured and most probably if you have paid the right fees then transaction will be confirmed within few minutes.We have seen million dolllars transaction being settled with $3-$5 of fees only in bitcoin with safety and which other coin you can trust with such amounts and whales also prefer bitcoin for such big transactions.
Bitcoin is my first choice when I can broadcast my Bitcoin transaction with 1 sat/vbyte. If the fee is expensive, I will consider to use altcoins but I don't use altcoin network to move my fund if it's big fund.

That’s basically what duelbits is doing right now, gathering as many people as possible, and they are doing it with each marketing including their signature campaign as well, no matter what they do main focus seems to be getting as many people as possible. Whales are the make or break of any casino, they need that for sure but right now they are focusing on getting anyone, even if it is a poor person because they want to have a big number of people playing right now.
They run many marketing campaigns but they won't get success if their casino does not have interesting games. Interesting and attractive games, slots are keys for them to attract gamblers. I see Duelbits do both very well, exciting games and wise and effective marketing campaigns. They choose one of best campaign managers on the forum to do their marketing. I am not surprised why they succeeded.

Quote
In this case, it is better because if you have that it usually means that you are going to end up seeing whales come here a lot easier, that way they could focus on getting whales later on when they feel like they are more ready for whales because there are already a lot of people playing and enjoying this place which whales will be looking at when they are deciding on playing on a new casino.
Whales are part of the game but whales are smart and casinos focus on retail gamblers. They have worse ability to control their gambling and can not gamble responsibly.

The main difference is cryptography for cryptocurrency and no cryptography for digital currency.

However, media and people use digital and crypto arbitrarily. They did not use it correctly. Some even use virtual to call cryptocurrency.

[GUIDE] All About Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)

In my opinion, digital currency is a bigger set than crypto currency. With Venn diagram, they have intersections and people misunderstand it when they consider they are the same.

you will always find competitions or contests in any casino, but it is hard to find peace with yourself. those contests will always find aggressive players but it is on you how you will control your gambling habits. because at the end of the day, you are the only one looking after yourself, no one will.
Because with contest, you will have to bet more, if it is waggering contest. Joining contests or not, gamblers have to gamble responsibly if they want to control their gambling style.

Quote
we have seen that duelbits are very active in introducing contests, this is why they can truly attract regular players here. they have good marketing people and know how to sustain these players. they may really survive long in this competitive industry.
One of best things with Duelbits contest is, they allow to bet with small value. I could be wrong but I think their main aim is attracting new users to their casino, and not try to steal money from failed bets in their contests.

If they want to force gamblers to bet more, and get more money from gamblers, they would require high value of bet to be eligible in their contests.
2087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: August 24, 2021, 03:27:04 AM
In my opinion, PSG are still hiding their true strength, because of some of their new players, PSG have only fielded Wijnaldum and Hakimi to fill the core positions in the current squad, while Messi, Ramos and Donnarumma have not played even once until now and this shows that PSG have not played yet 100% showing the strength of his team to the football public.
PSG are right with Hakimi, Wijnaldum, Messi and Donnarumma but I don't know why they let Thiago Silva left the club in the last year. And in this year, they signed with Ramos. They let one legendary player leaving as free transfer and signed with another one with free transfer as replacement.

I can not say Ramos is better than Thiago Silva. They are at same levels.

Xherdan Shaqiri is actually not a bad player, especially when playing for Stoke City his game is very extraordinary. Unfortunately at Liverpool
Shaqiri could not adapt and was not given many opportunities to play, so indeed his move to Lyon was very appropriate. I believe Shaqiri will get
more opportunities to play at Lyon, after all Lyon got Shaqiri for a cheap price. So it's a very good buy that Lyon made.
Shaquiri has a very good performance in Euro 2020. He is a best scorer of Switzerland in that tournament and his national team were lack of a bi lucky to have a position in semi final match.

I don't know why Liverpool can not find ways to use Shaquiri and obviously he will be a very good player for Lyon.

The Telegraph reports that Arteta held a meeting with the club's management, where he was given five matches to correct the situation with the team's results. This is the last chance for Arteta from the team management, after which he will be dismissed.
Five matches are long and if Arteta has 3 more defeats in next 3 matches, I think he will be sacked sooner than the plan. I don't wish any bad thing for him but it is how football is nowadays. Clubs and owners don't give coaches too much patience to improve situation. They can say they are in with coach, believe in coach but after a few bad results, decisions can suddenly be made, behind the scene.

^^ Interesting. Popular football transfer news reporter yesterday reported that Mikel Arteta has full confidence of Arsenal board. I also think it is a bit hard to swallow but come again to think about it well would they allow so much transfers breaking the 100m mark in transfers if they didn't had confidence? We all know how Arsenal are in transfers but this transfer window they have been much active. I think Arteta still got chances left to prove himself.
Before any sack, we always see director boards announce that they fully believe in and will support coach at any coach. At the end, under pressure of fan, financial issues, they have to sack their coach and put their hope on a new one.

Roman Abramovich does it many time. He put belief in Lampard but finally Frankie was sacked and Tuchel came, brought the Champions League title to the club's hall of fame and help Chelsea to end in top four of Premier League.

About Arteta, I think he was given many time in Arsenal.

Same as me when always winning in the same slot, I won't change to another slot. Maybe we can get the profit with the ability that game only but when a change it could be lost. because we must prepare it from the beginning, like learning how it works, set the feelings and maybe not too fast to make decisions.
The more you play with one slot, the more familiar and experience you have with it. It can increase your odds to win with your favorite slot.

Winning streak or losing streak is important but nothing last forever so you should have your max bets every day. Win or lose, stop your bet after you make max daily bets.

I also feel that many gamblers will have the same mindset like us and it's quite clear that if we have won on particular slot we won't change the game and continue to place bets over that one only as this is clear sign of human psychology.Imagine we win $100 on Fruit party 2 we would not shift to some other slot immediately but keep playing it in hope of similar wins.But some others might have their own way of playing.
Each slot has different fun and I think people keep playing in one slot not only because they are wining but also because they like that slot. Win or lose, if they like one slot, they will play it more frequently than the others.

I do something a little different, I often try Bonanza games and when I win above $100 for example I will definitely continue but when I try for more than 10 rounds there are no good results so I move to another game, this is indeed quite good but on the other hand it becomes bad and doesn't win at all like the initial game so I always try to play with my heart maybe it's better and sometimes brings more luck.
But yes, every game is always different, what they play, has its own way.
I only play new slot if I win from my familiar slot or if I have money to gamble, afford to lose it. New slot is more risky than slot I am familiar with. I have to lose more bets with new slot just to get experience, understand its rules and find a way to win
2091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: August 21, 2021, 04:38:54 PM
Aubameyang as goalscorer for Arsenal cannot play tomorrow of course this is a loss for Arsenal while on the other side Chelsea play full of confidence the main players will be there, with a situation like this I don't see a chance for Arsenal to win even though playing at home I even predict Chelsea to win by more than 1 goal.
Contributions of Aubameyang drop after his contract renew two years ago. News say he might join Barcelona if Coutinho leaves Camp Nou.

I doubt that news is real because Aubameyang won't accept low salary because he is receiving high salary in Arsenal. Barcelona have problems with total salary cost for their players and I don't think they will sign with Aubameyang even as free transfer.

Chelsea have better debut in this season with impressive win and Arsenal have a terrible loss in the beginning day of Premier League.
2092  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 21, 2021, 04:20:15 PM
The Dortmund team is now completely dependent on Haaland. Today Freiburg is performing well and is not getting much chance to attack Haaland. He can't play well today. And so the players of Dortmund are not able to score a single goal yet. Dortmund got a goal though due to Keitel’s mistake. But it looks like I'm going to lose the bet and win the Freiburg match.
They have Marco Reus but he is very vulnerable to injuries that prevent he to contribute his best and in a complete season. Haaland is very strong guy physically but he can not carry Dortmund in a long season. Goals are not only what Haaland can do. This season, he is upgrading himself and can make good key passes. He can attract defenders of opponents and create space for team mates to score goals.

I can not disagree with what you said. Dortmund gradually depend more on Haaland.

I watched the complete match and i have to say that Freiburg wasn't even lucky that they have won. Of course Dortmund also had some huge chances to score even more goals for example the chance jeong had in the first half to make it 2-0 even earlier and the goal Dortmund was even a own goal of Freiburg. Also it was obvious that Haaland is also just one Player and can not win a game by himself. Schlotterbeck showed an awesome performance today and managed to almost completely shut down haaland today because he played so aggressively.
Haaland is young and he needs more experience to play and beat different styles of defender. He has a long career and can upgrade himself after each season. I believe Haaland will become another goal manchine like Ronaldo. Haaland seems to be less selfish than Ronaldo. He is not obsessed with goals like Ronaldo.
2093  Economy / Exchanges / Re: All Binance users are now subject to immediate KYC verification on: August 21, 2021, 04:04:29 PM
I have been KYC verified in Binance btw. So, I don't really bugged by this sudden announcement.
I don't think they'll sell any info unless their system get infiltrated by the cyber criminals.
You can not say they will never do anything. Any staff, former staff from Binance can sell data to other companies. It is not strange in life. The best way to not lose your private information is not to do KYC.

However, with more regulations from governments, like what we see with Binance, they can not ignore pressure from many nations. At the end, they take care of the company first, not customer first.

Crypto is now on the limelight so expect that government will interfere since for sure they see the potential to gain millions or even billions if they can regulate it, so expect that this scenario will happen since this is part of legalizing of their platform. And I don't feel worried about that since knowing binance is a good platform that's why I didn't think twice to do it compare to other exchange which I really don't know if they are still good for more longer years.
It happens when Binance become bigger and dominates the market. It happens when big social media like Facebook or Twitter, or Amazon dominates market and have huge impact in society. Governments will make more pressure to control those companies as much as they can.
2094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: August 21, 2021, 03:00:55 PM
What a manager can do if he doesn't have the players to do it? It's a fact that Real needs for sure (at least) one "top shelf" central defender and perhaps a midfielder. Unless the administration of Real, has a secret deal with someone and waits to announce it or puts their faith in some of their youngsters. I don't know though to whom from them Ancelotti can trust the basic CB position. Undecided
Players decide the match, not managers. Managers can do good trainings, tactics, and psychological boost but managers can not play, score goals or make mistakes that lead to conceded goals. Players do that and in football now, managers are considered as less important than star players. Players receive better salary, bring more income to the club and when results are bad, managers will be sacked, not players.

I also think that Carlo Ancelotti is carrying a heavy burden. He came to replace Zidane but Real Madrid's financial condition was not in good condition and he had to lose 2 defenders. Given that Real Madrid failed to win a trophy last season, Carlo Ancelotti is definitely required to be able to present the title and for that Real Madrid will have to buy players, at least a reliable center-back to fill the position left by Varane and Ramos.
I think Carlo was aware of what he will face in Bernabeu. He is a very experienced manager and it is not first time he works with Perez.

Quote
Real Madrid has earned money from the sale of Raphael Varane and Martin Odegaard, so they should have the budget to buy new players.
They did not make any big transfer and the time is counting down. The summer transfer will close in more than one week.

For a very experienced coach like Carlo Ancelotti then I think getting the title at the end of the season is one of the things that the club management expects and demands the most.
Real Madrid are one of three candidates for La Liga but in my opinion, they have more troubles than Atletico Madrid or Barcelona. They are not the worst team among three candidates but I think they have less chance to win La Liga. It's first season of Carlo Ancelotti and the first season they are rebuilding their team.

Barcelona are in the second season with Koeman. Atletico Madrid are stable with Simeone.

Two epic wins. Wait what?! Surely there is luck involved but damn you're good roycilik. I've also read about some of your previous bets so congrats on another great win. Watching your results makes me wanna play slots more often.
Those are epic wins for us but with rocylik, just normal wins for him. He won with high multipliers many times. Epic winner with high multiplier and win very often.

He should be added to the list of most lucky winners as he is sharing such wins most often Cheesy and speaking up truly it's serving a great motivation for the Gamblers trying their luck in different slots.He is promoting many casinos in the similar manners and attracting users to respective casinos and he should be paid extra for the same Grin.
Legendary gambler on Rollbit.

I don't think it is sponsored promotions from rocylik. Results are real and he is either genius or very lucky gambler or perhaps both very lucky and very talented.
2096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: August 21, 2021, 02:29:32 PM
As I predicted, Liverpool was going to win and they did, but after Diego Jota scored the opening goal, Burnley made the game tighter for liverpool but the second goal in just passed the hour mark from sadio mane, I think broke the wind pipes of Burnley, it's now nine points for Liverpool and none for Burnley in two games, is it going to be another season of relegation battle for Burnley, I think if they continue like this it will be.
Burnley had an opportunity to equalize in early of second half but they failed. After the second goal from Liverpool, Burnley did not create enough pressure and Liverpool had easier time after that.

I agree Liverpool did well to secure the win but it was not easy for them. The last 4 minutes I thought Liverpool looked shaky at the back with Burnely having 2/3 chances in that time. There was a point in the game where Liverpool looked unstoppable and there was a couple of off the line clearances from Burnley but they only scored one with Mane during this time. I think Liverpool deserved to win but it was not a easy win. Liverpool could have scored a couple more goals but Burnely could have scored a couple themselves. Alison Becker is a great goalkeeper really saved Liverpool at times.
Yeah. Burnley brought some troubles to Allison and Liverpool in last minutes but it does not mean they deserve to have one point. If they deserve anything, one goal for a defeat is enough for them in this match.

Salah did not score and he needs one more goal to have 100 goals in Premier League
2097  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: August 20, 2021, 08:56:51 AM
Yes, Real Madrid is indeed a great team but if they don't buy new players then their chances of competing in the title race will be tough. This season they only brought David Alaba and had to be willing to lose their two strong defenders (Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane). So If this condition does not change until the transfer window closes then Carlo Ancelotti will have to fight extra hard to bring Real Madrid to compete for the title.
Varane is a big loss for Real Madrid because he can play many more seasons but Ramos he stays in Bernabeu, he might not play many matches because of injury and age. In the last season, Ramos has very limited appearance in Real.

Ramos can use his experience in big matches like AC Milan reserved Paolo Maldini.

Quote
Hopefully, before the transfer window closes, Real Madrid will give us a surprise because with almost the same squad last season Real Madrid failed to win the title or maybe Carlo Ancelotti's presence could provide a better chance.
They will try to use what they have after what they witnessed with bad finance from Barcelona. They are constructing a new stadium and all together, they have financial burden.
2098  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: August 20, 2021, 07:34:26 AM
Until now there is no single official source indicating that Messi or Neymar will play that game against Brest. Pochettino already indicated that he is studying whether to include Messi or not in that game. Comparing to the previous match and for the moment, only Di Maria, Verratti, Donnarumma, Marquinhos will be additionall ypresent with the team in Brest.
Brest is not a big club in Lique I so PSG can beat them without those stars. Messi just came back after a long vacation and he needs one month of training to play in real matches. PSG are powerful and they don't need Messi only for Lique I. They need a healthy Messi for Champions League.

Quote from: Saint-loup link=topic=5267086.msg57735409#msg57735409
Yes you're right, it has even been confirmed officially that they won't participate to this match unfortunately Undecided
But according to the french newspaper Le Parisien, they might play sunday 29th august against Reims Smiley
https://www.leparisien.fr/sports/football/psg/brest-psg-messi-neymar-et-paredes-absents-du-groupe-19-08-2021-QFWTEIC2J5BGDKSNN5FMGQLQEQ.php
When all of them are available for matches, PSG will have two powerful squads that are able to beat all clubs in Lique I. They will complete Lique I 10 rounds before the final days, I believe so.

The appearance of Donnarumma damages the solid position of Keylor Navas. However, having Navas as a substitute goalkeeper is great for PSG. They will have a safe goal with official or substitute goalkeeper.
2099  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Facebook stablecoin on: August 20, 2021, 05:41:43 AM
In the end it is just a new stablecoin that is pegged to the USD as far as i know so i don't see this having a huge impact here. Yes of course Facebook is a Company that everyone knows and if they bring out a stablecoin then users can be sure that this coin is backed enough by real dollars and that the contract of the coin is thoroughly tested and audited. We already have stablecoins of coinbase and binance though and both are also multi billion dollar companies, so i would say their stablecoins are just as safe as the one from Facebook will be.
I believe stable coins from Facebook or Twitter will be pegged by multiple fiat, and not only USD. USD is one of big fiat but if a cryptocurrency is pegged by only one fiat, it is unstable when that fiat collapses.

The idea to peg stable coins by multiple fiat currencies is old and it is applied by some stable coins. I think those big techs will create their stable coins as multi-fiat-pegged stable coins. It brings more trust and better safety for their stable coins.
2100  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Facebook stablecoin on: August 20, 2021, 05:29:02 AM
Stable coins are aims of governments. Big Tech are targets of governments too and I believe Big Tech will develop then launch their cryptocurrencies soon.

The challenge would be from governments. They know huge social media like Facebook, Twitter have big impacts in societies and if they launch their coins, create their own marketplaces that will be fueled by those coins and huge users, power of governments and central banks will be challenged.
