Hello OP, good to see you are interested in Bitcoin from an academic perspective. However this entire thread feels like you are trying to crowd-source your homework solutions from us and there is no point in doing that. Either you want to learn about Bitcoin or you just want to pass an exam. Furthermore, many of the questions have absolutely nothing to do with Bitcoin. So posting this thread in "Bitcoin Discussion" might be pushing it.


How about you try your best to solve the questions and we, as the community, will do our best to correct your work? Sounds better than just us giving you the answers.

I think you are describing the martingale strategy. I would not recommend doing this with large sums of money as you will definitely find the strategy to be extremely disappointing. It sounds good on paper but the real world does not like to see probability go our way. Especially with a house edge. In the end you lose everything the same way as newbies do. By doubling down on a bad streak. Or even a good streak.

Did you use this "strategy" yourself before coming here to tell everyone to try it?

Maybe don't give tips on things like this. If someone loses money because of you, you might get in trouble.

There is no such thing as a 100% safe centralized platform which offers to hold your money for you. As least that is my perspective on it all. Although I must admit that until we have a decentralized gambling casino, I will be unfortunately forced to participate in the whole "let us hold your money for you" business.

Apart from that, any casino with a good reputation here on this forum is relatively safe. (stay away from the new ones and the ones with negative trust/red trust and scam accusations).

Our tight-knit community will manage to spot scammers within mere hours. Maybe even faster. Just keep your eyes open in the scam accusations and gambling subforums here on Bitcointalk.

Sounds a bit too censor-y.
If only there were a minimum merit requirement for posting. Like if you had to have at least 1 merit from somewhere else on the board to post here. Wouldn't having tiered subforums be a good thing for Bitcointalk? You know, you first start off in beginners and work your way up by earning merits. This allows you to post in higher tier subforums. We would contain all the trash in the first tiers.

The problem is not with Bitcoin using energy. Your oven uses energy, your lights use energy, your phone uses energy. The problem is that people are pointing fingers at Bitcoin even though the problem is how our energy is generated. People do not want to talk about that. Pointing fingers is easier.

I would advise everyone to take "comparison" or "review" sites with a grain of salt.

As some of you know, these review sites function, just like any other business, on a business plan. A plan on how to make profits and create partnerships. These partnerships could include selling positive reviews for a certain amount of money. In such cases, there can be nothing said about the actual review/comparison of the site as the site itself is only an illusion of a review site.

I am not sure about OP's website but the best thing to do is to review comments and ratings from many authentic people. Like well trusted and old members of the bitcointalk gambling sub-forum. They will be more than happy to offer you advice on which sites are better than others. In fact we even made a list of crypto sites and their comparisons (see upper posts). So trusting review sites for crypto gambling is unnecessary.

So topics like these are unnecessary and very sketchy. I would avoid anyone claiming to offer such services, especially if they have a bad /no reputation on this forum yet.

With BNB you do not even need to worry about exchanges. But you should still worry about centralization. If you have BNB you can trade it on the BSC network for other tokens. There is a ETH wrapped one, a BTC wrapped one or others. So if you go on a non-KYC exchange like Kucoin or Poloniex, you do not have to do the whole long and unneccessary identity confirmation after which they save your data for who knows how long. And if a "hacker" or a hacker decides to leak it to the world, you are screwed forever.

But with the BSC you are the only one (for now) who has access to your money. No need to store on exchanges as you have a multitude of Defi apps to use for trading anyway.

I say "for now" because I do not believe BNB is technically decentralized enough to be called decentralized. I would rather say it is centralized in a more secure way.

Tipping culture is fine and just as the way it should be. By which I mean not peer-pressured or otherwise pressured upon you. I have no idea why the US demands tips and looks down upon those that do not tip, but says absolutely nothing about how low the hourly wages are. Are restaurant owners in America so broke that they have to coerce the employee's paychecks out of their customers? But then again this is US "culture". I have never witnessed such coercion in Europe. In many Asian countries like Japan, tipping is considered insulting to the waiter/cook/owner.

I have no idea why there has been a tremendous influx of pompous, loud-mouthed newbies, but can I assume that Bitcointalk's new-registration activity itself is a good metric for how Bitcoin adoption is doing?

Oh definitely Ronaldos odds reflect his last reputation "level ups" but then again I would be a bit tempted to choose Messi. Knowing how inflated the odds against him are. Should we be picking Ronaldo due to his good-reputation streak?


That site does not work. When you click on it nothing loads and you see the words "server error". Seems like Onehash is not a very professional betting platform if they have server problems. Or maybe I caught them at a wrong time. Anyway, even if they go online now, I would still avoid them.

What sites did you other guys use for making a bet on the Ballon d'Or? If possible, one with a good reputation?

Competition is at the very core of natural evolution of life itself. The bigger, stronger and smarter living beings get to stay alive while the others go extinct. Its a self improving system which produces only the best of the best. And the fact that businesses have competition is important too. As you mentioned, without competition there would only be monopoly and lazy quality. If at all.

People, especially businessmen (and women) need their motivation to stem from something which is a bit of a "thorn in their sides". We need that extra push whenever we start slowing down. And in the case of businesses, the comes from not letting your business die because someone is doing a better job.

This is really good news. Adoption is finally speeding up little by little. Thats exactly what I like to see. An entire country adopting Bitcoin is one thing but the fact that Google is adopting Bitcoin... Thats like a part of every country in the world in the metaphysical sense. So a lot of people will start turning to Bitcoin as a currency. I do wonder how long it will take now for Bitcoin to become the global money. A few more years? Perhaps a decade?

Decentralization is too amazing not to be considered an integral part of the future of human technology. The more Bitcoin adopters we have, the more people start learning and understanding this.

You newbies should refrain from panicking over every dip. I understand Bitcoin volatility is something new to you guys but do not flip-flop your trades until you made gigantic losses from either missing the pumps or grinding down your funds with trading fees. Its never worth it to panic. Be strong.

Posting topics like this one might give you the false impression that we somehow know what the price will be better than most people, or perhaps you want to crowd-source the most probable price prediction. But at this does is make you more worried and make others more worried as well.

Whales use this against you to buy your coins at unfairly cheap prices.

Welcome to our humble little forum, Sam. I hope your gambling platform does very well and gains the trust of our community by active engagement and good moral conduct. As far as my thoughts on your gambling platform go:

The slogan "bet your beans" seems like an extremely dangerous betting experience (for a man). Are you sure thats the marketing approach you want to take with advertising gambling? I might be wrong, I would love to know the reason behind the slogan.

As to the things I cannot stand in betting apps: Delays, bugs, and bad user experience design.

Cults usually involve something dark and secretive. Like giving your cult members poisoned koolaid. Thats a cult. This what we have? Its not a cult. Its a club. Anyone is free to join, anyone is free to leave and obviously some of us will be more fanatical or less fanatical about Bitcoin than others. As long as you enjoy Bitcoin and talking about Bitcoin then this is the right place for you. Thats really all it is.

I just realize that sounded like something a cult recruiter would say. 

Anyway, we're not a cult.

Yet.

Cmon, a pregnancy test!? Seriously?
...Our entire reality is a doom simulation. Operator, get me out.

awesome concept but terrible audio. The tiny lag I can tolerate but the sound keeps clipping like its glitching in and out. And its being stretched out like its being played at half speed.

Now if there is a online mortal kombat 2 we can play as multiplayer on some site, that would be the bees knees. Man. I would kick everyone's butt with Subzero.

Gambling developers will have enough work with or without providing their development services to shady gambling businesses that operate in grey zones or illegal zones. As far as the question of VPNs go, I think that gambling casinos do not actually care about who uses a VPN and who does not as long as there is nobody winning absurd sums of money or acting suspiciously. In which case they can ask for a KYC and if you do not do it then they can freeze both your account and your funds.

How far people go to make money in illegal environments is really left up to the individual person. But I think everyone is well aware of the risks.

I do not expect regulation to have any kind of effect to the extent that you are imagining. If anything the governments of the world will try to squeeze the centralized end-points of service providers which deal with cryptocurrency rather than trying to regulate a decentralized entity as it has been trying to, for a long time. And it has not succeeded even a bit. As far as gambling goes, I expect something of decentral and unregulatable nature to develop sometime in the next years in the gambling world. So regulations from the goverment will be as meaningless as they are now. If not even more.

I did like to travel to Las Vegas in the United States (obviously) to visit a few good casinos but nowadays the gambling experiences have been completely rebuilt. I do not like the modern offline gambling experience. You want to play slots? You have to go buy a piece of paper that says you have "funded" your account with a certain amount of money but you are not allowed to directly use coins anymore. Its basically playing online slots but in a different physical place. So what is the point anymore? Some slot machines used to use levers, then it was buttons now those buttons have turned into flatscreen. What an exciting experience. Pressing a large screen. Like you can't do that on your phone.
