2121  Economy / Speculation / Re: Just how bad is the bear demand right now on: January 25, 2023, 11:17:40 PM
Is the Current Bitcoin Bear Market That Bad?
If we've learned from this bear market and the past ones, we can conclude that this current bear market that we're experiencing isn't bad at all compare to the last that everyone experienced on 2018. The difference for these two bear markets are totally a lot and we can say that it's much better to look at this time because it's still 5 digits unlike on the past one which made bitcoin at $3k after hitting $20k. They've got their each share of the percentage losses and if we'll look at how much it had lost, basically, it's totally a lot if it had came from to $69k down to $16k.
And as it swings and enters to $23k and goes back to $22800 then that only means that it's doing good but again, it is volatile and it may surprising go up or down within the next days.
2122  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you guys think about web3, metaverse? on: January 24, 2023, 05:59:53 PM
Do you think the coins related to web3 and metaverse are bubbles?
I disagree with this opinion.
It's a bubble until we see it burst. So far, what I can say is about the Metaverse that seems to be done already while Facebook(Meta) launches their project on it but yeah, they're quite late on the party already as the bear market pulled down the trend about it.

I think there's enough potential for improvement, what do you think?
I think it's very interesting to be able to store something valuable in a digital wallet, such as a meta mask, just like keeping items in my own inventory in a game or cartoon.
In every space in the crypto market, everything has the room to be improved but it just so happen that the market isn't focused with what should be improved. Like what you've mentioned, web3 and Metaverse, instead of getting focused on one of it to thrive and then when it's on the top, we can leave it and take time to choose the other one and make it at the top as well. But, it's not doing like that because of the hype that's being created, the highlight that it's getting is too short even if you can see some potential on it.

2124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue - WBC and WBO 122 lbs bout - May on: January 23, 2023, 10:27:09 AM
His trainers would have definitely advise him on what he must do but yeah, during weigh ins there's still some boxers that do have problem on the actual day.
But on his case, he's been a world champion and has gone through a lot of fights and with this small adjustment, he'll for sure will be good when the weighing in day comes.

They are moving up the weight division, so definitely, his camp knows what they are going into.
They won't decide on this matter if they knew Inoue would have hard time catching up on this weight class.
As it is only 4lbs, would not be difficult for him. So my guess is that Inoue can easily achieve and train on this weight.
Right now, the early odds are favoring Inoue with some of the bookmakers giving him at 1.41.
Though it is too early, but I believe bookie will indeed favor on Inoue for this match.
It's only a few pounds away so the adjustments will be easy on them. And as there's no more challenge on the former division that he's been reigning and dominating, this is a good movement for his further career. It's a wise decision for him and his team to get into this upgrade.
The odds may be in favor of him because the crowd knows how this monster fight. Well, the odds may change as the fight approaches but I think that it won't change a lot and that will definitely close to one and favoring Inoue. So, money on the line and if you guys think that Fulton got what it takes to beat Inoue, think of it and there's an ample time to think of.
2125  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: QUESTION: For Gambling Enthusiasts ❗❗ on: January 23, 2023, 08:45:06 AM
I enjoy dice, poker and sports betting. So, that will be a mixed up choice and there's no specific choice for me because with all of them, I'm enjoying.

This is always my concerned. PvP games are more prone to cheating and there's no way we can determine if we are up against a real human.

Like in chess games, there are lots of bots designed here and for average users, no way they can win against a bot.

Maybe the reputation of the platform will be the only basis if we are playing with fair competition in a certain PvP match.
This is a legit concern and that's why we don't usually other usual PvP games because of the possibility that the games might be cheated with anyone who has developed some cheats against their opponents. But as for enjoyment, all of them are enjoyable to gamble with but we just have different tastes when it's come to games that we want to play.
2126  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Australia launches stablecoin on: January 23, 2023, 07:35:03 AM
Like many others, i do not think that a centralized stable currency will help the entire cause of having a decentralized currency, it might help if the main target is to pump and dump like we are seeing every rally but i really do not like the direction in which the space is moving forward. More control by the government and asset freezing will be the headline in a few years, it will help in countering the scams but privacy is at stake.
When a bank like them joins and creates a stable coin, more centralization will come to the crypto market instead of what it portrays to be decentralized. This has to be expected since the governments are also interested with crypto but, what they like is to have their own and not to rely on what's already been there and made by other developers. We just have to bear the changes that for the market to thrive, it's inevitable that the government will also step in.

My country launched their stablecoin around last year but I haven’t seen any thing that has failed as how that very stablecoin failed, a country that is arresting and seizing asset of its citizens that withdrawals crypto-currency to Fiat can’t expect anything positive to come out from their stablecoin.

In as much as there hasn’t been much news on Australia hate on crypto-currency I still think that any country trying to create their own coin stablecoin or not may have some other motive to it.
There's really the motive on it as why they're making these stable coins or the CBDCs. They have an option to fully centralized it and won't be reliant to the decentralized market of cryptocurrencies.

Still don't understand will CBDC really give new opportunity for tracking money or not. They already can track any bank transfer and card transaction
Just like any centralized currency, they'll for sure have a way to track it. Just as Tether can freeze a wallet, stable coins made by the government can also do so.
2127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This Smells Like Hypocrisy on: January 22, 2023, 11:01:19 PM
They all have the jurisdiction to ban to certain games that they don't like. There must be a cultural reason why only a few of them are allowed to be played and then the others are outright banned. Well, I don't want to dig deeper on it but soon I'll find out the reason personally when I get to fly there for a vacation and try those gambling places that are legally operating. I guess there's a certain reason for that and will end up with the conclusion that due to the usual reason, taxation.
2128  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Was Binance aware of the impending bankruptcy of FTX? on: January 22, 2023, 09:51:22 PM
That's possible, with these whales known each other in real life but in competition for their businesses. I guess that these folks are sharing some details of how their business are doing and they've got a way to closely monitor the finances and status of each other. I don't know, it's just like a private and close door meeting which is like I'm only seeing on the television but happening in real life. But, it can just be that CZ has seen it recently and has stated the actual situation for which FTX chose not to be vocal about it so CZ did spoke for them.
2129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue - WBC and WBO 122 lbs bout - May on: January 22, 2023, 08:52:05 PM
Yes, there will be some adjustments but the skill and the typical Inoue we know will not change and his attributes will remain, we may even see him upgrade that as well.

I think maybe we can base on others who have move up to different divisions and become successful. As someone pointed out, it's just 4 lbs sound, so it's not that huge jump and even us non boxers who gain 4 lbs in the pandemic might not see the difference after all.

So I would also leaning on the premise that Inoue might be good if not better at 122 lbs because his body is going to be fully rehydrated even before the fight and that is a big factor for boxers not needing to drain themselves in weigh-in.
His trainers would have definitely advise him on what he must do but yeah, during weigh ins there's still some boxers that do have problem on the actual day.
But on his case, he's been a world champion and has gone through a lot of fights and with this small adjustment, he'll for sure will be good when the weighing in day comes.
2130  Economy / Economics / Re: We are not out of the woods yet on: January 22, 2023, 07:48:36 PM
Yeah, the history may repeat itself and just be prepared whatever is yet to come. But, it could possibly be that the toughest bear was already done last year. We're just a year for the next halving and you can assume whatever you want but it's best to think about the most positive things to happen but not settling that it's already there. Anyway, if there's the certain thing about bitcoin and the entire crypto market, its volatility is making everything as usual unpredictable. I see a lot of people telling that $10k-$13k may be the bottom this time, let's see if those predictions will become real.
2131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue - WBC and WBO 122 lbs bout - May on: January 21, 2023, 10:02:04 PM
Good for him, I don't know much a lot with Stephen but Naoya sure is a monster and is worthy of his alias. On 122 lbs, I'm sure that he'll feel something new with that but he's aware of any changes on that division and since he's the undisputed champion on the past division that he has left, it's becoming more interesting not just on him but also the title match that he has vacated.

I don't also see Inoue having issues on 122 lbs, and I think he can bring his power to this division (I hope others will agree with my observation). What I really like about Fulton is his never say die mentality, against Brandon Figueroa, he shows a lot of heart and win that fight in the judges score card. But I don't think he can last against the power of Inoue.
We'll not know yet since it's going to be the first match he's got for his upgrading division. Well, as for Fulton's style, if he's got the heart to never give up.
It's for Inoue to show his prowess that he can end matches too quick and his power is really strong that he might get knocked out, not just by luck but by his strength and style.

Again even in 122 lbs, he might be even powerful in this division because he doesn't have to weight drain himself just to make the desired weight. Now he can eat without issues and then go to the gym train hard every day. Fulton's tenacity will be tested here.
Yes, there will be some adjustments but the skill and the typical Inoue we know will not change and his attributes will remain, we may even see him upgrade that as well.
2132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin always shames social media experts. on: January 21, 2023, 10:11:32 AM
One unique feature of Bitcoin is that it always put social media acclaimed "experts" to shame. Sometimes these social media bitcoiners claim mastery over bitcoin. They indiscriminately predict its price as if they invented the coin with Satoshi. Even Satoshi now might not understand the price movement of Bitcoin because the creation is now economically powerful.

Through trial and error, some of them might have been predicted correctly in the past. And they have large followers that believe their analysis and follower their predictions.  One social media so-called expert recently shut down his social media platform because he predicted that bitcoin would keep falling until it goes into extinction. It was his followers that attacked him until he forcefully closed his page.

Happy bull run.
Well, those social media "experts" that has paid classes are really just there to influence. Whatever they say, those are bare words of mouth and the fans are overwhelmed so, they're acclaimed.
There's no way that they can be 100% accurate but what they do is to tell what they can see in the market based on their opinion and that's it. Only a few of them really knows what they're doing and they give proof to their claims and predictions with basis through charts and analysis that they have.

That's awesome! OP, what's your setup in terms of customers making payments? Mobile, directly wallet to wallet, no payment gateways?
I haven't backed read since it's a lot of pages but it's better if ever he's using a payment gateway or third party to just accept it directly like P2P transfers.
In that manner, he'll save fees since most of these gateways do charge a fee or a commission as not all service are for free. But with such direct payments and transfers to him, he'll get to save and add that to his investment or current holding in bitcoin.
Congratulations to you outhue and since it's almost a month that has passed, how's your business doing in terms of having customers pay your service or products in bitcoin? Is the demand just good or not that high?
2135  Economy / Gambling / Re: What do you appreciate more Desktop or Phone on: January 20, 2023, 01:48:10 AM
Since you've posted it here in gambling board, I think you should specify that it's all about where we're more comfortable to gamble, whether it's through desktop or smartphones. The mods might move it if the discussion is like no specified activity which pertains to gambling although I wholly understand what it is.

I am strongly in favour of desktop applications or even web based, as I think that phones are usually to small and I do not really trust much the apps,
I like more having a larger screen like the monitor from my desktop and not a laptop nor smart phones. They're too small if it's going to be coming from handheld devices but the advantage of it is that you can lie on the bed while gambling.

but there seems to be many people who would rather use their phone. Is that because they do not have access to a desktop computer? It may also be a regional issue, the same as people that do not use a browser?
Computers and laptops now are cheaper and I think that they also have those aside from having a phone and what's more likeable and reasonable is that it's convenient to do so wherever they are.
2136  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Australia launches stablecoin on: January 20, 2023, 12:49:39 AM
I guess that many will not like it but Australia launches their stable coin backed by Australian Dollars. There goes the CBDC from other countries like China and this seems is going to be the source of the money that shall flow for the next bull run and this trend might continue for next years.

The National Australia Bank (NAB), one of the four biggest Australian banks, has created a stablecoin called AUDN, which it aims to launch in the middle of 2023, according to the Australian Financial Review (AFR) report.

The purpose of AUDN would be to allow its customers to settle transactions on blockchain technology in real time using Australian dollars, NAB said. AUDN could also be used for several other purposes including "carbon credit trading, overseas money transfers and repurchase agreements," NAB’s Chief Innovation officer Howard Silby told AFR.

The stablecoin will launch on the Ethereum and Algorand blockchains, the latter a smart contract platform similar to Ethereum.

Yeah, it looks like you're shilling that service but if you're honest and you genuinely use that and it's comfortable to you then that's good. But just to give you some reminders that as you've mentioned your salary is also being sent there, don't be too hyper when you gamble because it's possible that you might deposit all of your salary to a casino and then gamble it all. Majority of the people here directly deposits through the crypto assets that we hold. Like, we don't have to use such bank accounts or such service so, it's from our crypto wallet to crypto wallet address of the casino where we're going to gamble.
2138  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice on choosing a crypto casino on: January 19, 2023, 10:18:44 PM
OP it's as simple as ABC, check in the gambling board there are lots of casinos to choose from. Check their cryptocurrency for use, although almost all the casino's in this forum uses bitcoin.
One thing I can tell you is that in your quest to get a casino you would be gambling with make sure not to settle for the less, engage with one that meets your expectations and interest. Gambling should be fun, interesting and profitable too
I agree, OP should make some standards and desire where he want to gamble. He pick the factors from the members that have given some suggestions on what he should pick.
But the easiest to check all of those boards and announcement threads for him to see what these casinos are like and what the customers feed back are on them. He can basically look at those factors for him to have the idea if that casino is a good one or not. Supported cryptocurrencies are easy, all of them here are supporting usually bitcoin and if not, they're into altcoins.

2140  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Has an exchange ever blocked your Bitcoins from Signature earnings? on: January 19, 2023, 12:43:40 PM
I can't remember if this has happened or not to me. But I've read before that exchanges are strict if the funds where directly sent from a casino/mixer to their (exchange) address.
So, I think this varies from the exchange where someone sends his signature earnings if he's a participant of a casino signature campaign like directly from that casino account to the exchange. If it's on their T&C then that's already the rule. I don't know how they track but it's possible that they've got the sending address put into blacklist and recorded if ever they've made a test.
