~snip~

You're shaking your head too much, and that's because of things that have already been proven negative for the majority of naive believers who, like you, are now comparing some famous art picture with the fact that some kid got rich selling pictures of himself in front of a computer as NTF? According to some analyses, Defi caused a loss of over $10 billion in 2021 alone, and for me that is a relatively large amount - surely nothing less will happen in 2022 as well.

Overall losses caused by DeFi exploits have totaled $12 billion so far in 2021, according to a report from xxx.
Fraud and theft accounted for $10.5 billion of that sum — a sevenfold increase from last year.
DeFi, or decentralized finance, products aim to replicate traditional financial services using blockchain.

You can continue telling fairy tales about what people should invest in if they want to get rich in the next bull run, but don't talk nonsense that this bull run will be caused by the fact that after 10 years someone will realize that NTF is something worth investing in.

If someone wants to buy an NFT because he thinks it is beautiful for him and also speculates that there will be more value to sell it in the future and in a market that says what the fair market value is presently, do you not think that this is very much similar to bitcoin or any market?

Define what a scam is because anything that is not bitcoin is a scam for much of the people who cannot accept that the cryptospace has become not only about bitcoin.

Are these NFT Defi protocols scams?

https://jpegd.io/
https://sudoswap.xyz/

Are Uniswap and Cakeswap scams? They did not scam anyone. Those protocols are working and make swapping without KYC much easier.

In any case, we cannot continue arguing if I do not know what is your definition of a scam.

Also, share the source of the article, I would like to read it. The article really said according to a report from xxx?

Hello,

Is it possible and legal to open an online casino without a license?
I have heard that a license only allows to put users in confidence
What do you think about this?

If the technology is available, it is possible to create a simple decentralized gambling site very much to similar to simple Defi swap exchanges. However, similar to Defi exchanges, if it does not have a license then it will be considered to be subject to regulations by the government.

Confidence from users comes from trustworthiness of the company or service. I will use Defi exchanges as an example. Uniswap and Cakeswap are Defi exchanges that do not have licenses but they are very much trusted by much of the community.

@DireWolfM14. I am also watching the game and I am presently getting worried already hehehe. The Bombay Bengal's projected points is only 3 points away from my total fantasy points for week 3. It is very clear that another touchdown from Saquon or Elliot will give him the win for this week.

Also, if this goes to overtime, I will lose week 3.

In any case, after the collapse and the dump, I am not quite certain why LUNA remains to be listed in the biggest and most trusted exchanges in the cryptospace.

News update.

I am not quite sure what the article is because it is paywalled, however, the title of the article implies that Jim Cramer is telling everyone that this worldwide bear market is presently not worse than the dotcom bubble and the 2008 housing bubble.



This market is not the dot-com crash or the financial crisis. Here’s how to play it

I am telling everyone that the cataysts for the next pump of the next bull market might be around NFT-Defi projects. They are very low market capitalized projects with much potential to increase. This is speculation and I speculate that the next storylines will be around NFTs.

As far as I was able to read, the history of NTF goes back to 2012, although they only started to be popular in 2017 - which means that a lot of time has passed, and accordingly they had their chance in 2017 as well in 2021. Honestly, all these projects make very little and almost no sense to me, but the masses behave completely irrationally whenever someone successfully sells them an overnight success story.

If you look at how many scams are connected to Defi, and how much money people have lost on various super projects, then I would conclude that the whole industry is only harming Bitcoin - let's just remember the scandal with Terra/Luna stablecoin which caused tens of billions of dollars in damage. Let's imagine that this did not happen and that at least part of that money was invested in Bitcoin.

Maybe then people like this banker would have no reason to call Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme, because the biggest trigger for such statements lies in disappointment in the market - and maybe the man simply lost a lot of money and is now telling a classic story like all the other losers.

If you are correct in your argument then anything that are works of art that are valued by their owners and a market willing to buy those works of art in fair market price would also not make sense to you. It is also head shaking that just because NFTs have existed since 2012, it should not be successful and not grow to more than a $100 billion market?

There are many scams, yes, and scams that are not only in Defi. They are in all of the cryptospace. Also, what is your definition of a scam? Is this any project that is not bitcoin a scam?  From this argument then we are no better than Jaime Dimon.

Another head shaking comment to blame other projects because there are mainstream investors and bankers like Jaime Dimon who call bitcoin a ponzi. They will call it a ponzi because it does not create any value and to get profit from it, the holder must wait for new money to come in then sell it to another buyer for a higher price.

@DooMAD. Agreed. However, we can complain everyday but they will always control the storylines, the scripts and the narratives. I reckon the only way for miners to get back complete control is to take mining away from their jurisdictions or mine bitcoin illegally.
2168  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2022-09-22] JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon slammed crypto and called BTC Ponzi Scheme on: September 26, 2022, 02:03:28 AM
People who worry about what bankers and various rich people are talking about Bitcoin have a big problem in life - because what does it matter that some banker is talking nonsense? I personally didn't care what that banker thought 5 years ago, and I don't care even less what he thinks today, just as I don't care what Buffett, Gates or Mr. Mars think about the same thing.



@bbc.reporter, I am surprised that you are promoting something that is still the source of a huge amount of scams today, and in the future there will be even more. Who else got rich in such a safe way that you suggest? Maybe 1% or 2% of those who are behind everything and sell fake stories everywhere, drawing even more followers into their game...

They are not scams or they appear not to be scams when I did my research hehehe. They are projects that are very experimental much like bitcoin during 2012 when much of the people did not know it would be more than $1000. I am also not telling everyone that Jpegd and Sudoswap will be as successful as bitcoin. I am telling everyone that the cataysts for the next pump of the next bull market might be around NFT-Defi projects. They are very low market capitalized projects with much potential to increase. This is speculation and I speculate that the next storylines will be around NFTs.

@morvillz7z. Tua was walking on his own two feet going to the tunnel, however. Doctors would never let him play if he had a bad concussion.

Also, yes the safety hehehehe. The commentators were saying they did not need it.

There was also Tua's long pass to Jaylen Waddle going near the endzone on a 3rd down and was it 20 yards?
2170  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: September 26, 2022, 12:42:12 AM
My team has been lucky for week 2 and week 3 with Lamar and Amari Cooper hehe. I am quite certain this is not very sustainable, however. Cam Akers, Christian McCaffrey and Mike Evans will need to create more fantasy points than projected when Lamar and Cooper cannot produce week 2 type of performances.

I am also quite surprised that some analysts have hyped the 49ers being playoff contenders again with Jimmy G. This game will show if they are right or wrong hehe.
2171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: September 25, 2022, 01:32:13 AM
Hehehe similar to much of these fantasy matchups it was luck. Steelers defense was not very good. Amari Cooper would never have a similar performance vs. the Bills' defense.

In any case, I was going to risk using Atlanta defense if Cooper did not give me 2x the fantasy points projected.
Cooper was in fact on my radar but I decided to stay away from him because I thought that he was on a boom or bust situation in which he could do very well or he could do horribly.

However, I might not be that lucky. McCaffrey's Q might be more serious than what is being reported. If I knew he has a high percentage of being injured in a season, I would have picked Justin Taylor.  



He's one of the biggest first-round injury worries heading into 2022. According to the Injury Predictor tool, McCaffrey has been injured six times since college (ankle, hamstring, glute, shoulder, ankle, hip), and he has an 84-percent chance of injury this year (10.2-percent chance in each game). Overall, he’s projected to miss 2.2 games, but clearly the risk is there for more.

Source https://www.sportingnews.com/us/fantasy/news/fantasy-busts-draft-sharks-injury-predictor/t8uxbmzx9d8ydqobza0ofs02
If McCaffrey can stay healthy during the whole season I think there is very little doubt that he will be the top scorer, so it was not the worst decision that you could have taken at the time, you just took the risk and unfortunately it seems that it may not pay off, however you made the draft interesting from the very first pick with your gutsy decision, and for those that are just playing for fun that is invaluable.

It is not gutsy. It is risky and it showed that I did not do much research on the players in the first round of the draft. I am playing for fun yes, however, I also want to win the money hehehehee.

I will be watching the Dolphins versus the Bills more closely. Mike McDaniels have 2 wins versus 2 good football teams. This game versus the Bills might make him something like a playbook genius if Dolphins win.

@electronicash. I would not speculate or think that their opposition against the cryptospace is because they hate it. They are hating it because they do not understand it and much of this not understanding is in Defi and NFT. I reckon if you want to be rich in the next bull market, invest in projects similar to Jpegd and Sudoswap. The storyline will be about NFT lending and NFT direct swapping through Defi.
2173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 24, 2022, 05:45:59 AM
The way PBC is treating Crawford, I don't they will be able to sign him if he beats Spence except for a 1 or 2 fights deal that would guarantee a title shot against undisputed super middleweight champion Jermell Charlo. After that, I think he is headed to DAZN.

As a knowledgeable in boxing, do you think that regardless of who will win on this match between Spence and Crawford, they will face Jermell Charlo next at the super middleweight?

Or a rematch is bound to happen first?

I really like that this fight between Spence and Crawford should happen now to now end the issues of who's the best in the Welterweight and finally will move on to their next plan.

There is a high chance that a rematch is bound to happen first regardless of the result, I don't think that Spence or Crawford will just move-on without having a second bout to try and settle their scores. Also, a rematch clause was stated and that's expected as this is an undisputed fight and a measurement on who's really the best boxer in the welterweight division.

An immediate rematch clause regardless of the result? What if Crawford knocks out Spence in round 1 or if Spence knocks out Crawford also in round 1? Does this not make the rematch not very marketable for the promoters and also not very tempting to watch for the fans? I reckon there must be a clause within the rematch clause hehe.

Also, Bob Arum said that Crawford will beat Spence. But how can we trust Arum when he was hurt by Crawford when he left Top Rank for free agency.



“I really believe Terence is the better fighter and will beat Spence when they fight, although I expect it’ll be a tremendous fight. That remains to be seen,” said Arum when asked if Spence – Crawford will be on the level of the 1980s fight between Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns.

One reason why Connor and Floyd fight was because Floyd wants to prove boxing is a better sport. This is then where Pauls got the idea that they can make money using twitter to fight MMA fighters in boxing. 😁

Anyway. It really is somehoa unfair for other fighters who started from the ground and has to fight a list of monsters for the chance of title fight. Peirera did it well and I think Dana couldn't find one that coud challenge Adesanya.

However, the only real reason why Floyd Mayweather has agreed to fight Conor McGregor is money. Floyd knew that Conor will never win against him in the boxing ring.

In any case, for the next event we have our favorite sexy fighting kitten Mackenzie Dern. She is BJJ expert hehehehee.

So not really news.  Just a mouthpiece expelling hot air.

Agreed. It is head shaking why until know some people think this is news hehe. Jamie Dimon has declared that bitcoin would only be valuable in a dystopian world, he also said that he will fire any JPMorgan employee if they are trading bitcoin. However, last year JPMorgan gave their clients access to 6 cryptofunds hehehe.



With little fanfare, JPMorgan Chase has started giving its wealth management clients access to six crypto funds in the past month.

Agreed. However, the argument is also because FTX belongs to an industry where it does not have clear regulations. Regulators like to squeeze money from opportunites that bear the lowest hanging fruit. It will not be shocking if they began doing more of this in this economy hehehehe. Similar to what @NeuroticFish said, because you know, crypto. I am also quite certain that you would agree with me that the government cannot be completely trusted.
2177  Economy / Exchanges / Re: UK Regulator Warns Exchange FTX Is Providing Services Without Authorization on: September 23, 2022, 06:56:47 AM
@stompix. Agreed that extortion might be the wrong word to use, however, the argument is the same. The economy must be very bad if they begin going after cryptoexchanges again to collect fees and fines hehehe. But the economy in the United Kingdom might not be as bad as the economy of America. The American regulators have begun to crackdown on smaller cryptoprojects hehehehe.



The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has issued an order filing and settling charges against blockchain software protocol bZeroX and its founders, the CFTC announced in a press release Thursday.
The order penalizes the protocol and its founders Tom Bean and Kyle Kistner $250,000 for offering illegal, off-exchange trading of digital assets, registration violations and neglecting to adopt a customer ID program required by the Bank Secrecy Act compliance program.

The CFTC has simultaneously filed a civil enforcement action charging the Ooki DAO, the successor to bZeroX, with violating the same laws as bZeroX. It seeks restitution, disgorgement, civil monetary penalties, trading and registration bans and injunctions against further violations.

What sports were you betting when those sportsbooks blocked you and when was this?

In any case, yes sportsbet.io is one of the biggest sportsbooks in the cryptospace that has made its brand known the market for mainstream sportsbettors. It might be a chance for Sportsbet to make the cryptospace more known to them through NFT promos hehe.

The best games in a live casino for me is roulette and baccarat. If you like slot machines, you should try roulette. If you like live card games, play baccarat. This is much less boring than blackjack, I reckon.

This was probably around 2010-2015, it was just because of location. In those days you could use any type of debit cards, even virtual ones, no need name or address. Then they allowed bank deposit, then they only allowed countries where the license allowed.

Crypto changed all of that Smiley

How is Blackjack boring? You should try out the different formats in live. Now they got stuff like Lightning blackjack, cool dealers who joke, it's super fun trust me.
When the dealer is nice or when some players are making jokes in the chat, I agree with you it's very funny even if you are losing but when the dealer is sleeping or acting like a robot, it could be very boring, especially if you are the only player at the table. Dealers are very different from one to another, some don't care about you and are just doing their job while others are almost playing with you and are happy when you win and disappointed when you lose lol.

Which is your favorite provider for playing Baccarat and Roulette @bbc.reporter? Have you tried 7mojos? I really like their crazy camera movements and their dealer costumes.
Do you play baccarat with or without commission BTW?

I do not play much table games if I am being honest with you. I do not know the difference between no commission and with commission. I also do not care much about this because I only bet what is left in my unused balance after placing all of my bets on sports and wish to get lucky hehehe.

It appears you are an expert in baccarat? Can you give me some advice on good strategies? I only bet banker because they say it has lower house edge.

I hope having Massage Watson on the field after the suspension on week 6 will not destroy how the Browns play. He has not played for more than 1 season.
