2201  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New Real Proof Bitcoin Should Be used As Main Money System on: February 27, 2022, 12:45:46 PM
1.The decision of El Salvador making Bitcoin a legal tender has been discussed a gazillion times on the forum.
Why do you wanna start this discussion again?You don't add anything new to the discussion.
2.Nobody is forcing anyone in El Salvador to use Bitcoin only.People in El Salvador can still use US dollars.
They have options.Having the opportunity to choose between multiple options  is a great thing.
3.Haters gonna hate Bitcoin at all times.They will never stop with their hate.Why do you even bother with their opinions about Bitcoin?A hater cannot be turned into a believer.
2202  Economy / Economics / Re: War requires three things on: February 27, 2022, 07:21:53 AM
The only way to profit from a war is NOT participating in the war.
Putin won't get any profits from invading Ukraine,but he doesn't care about profits.
He claims that he cares about "the national security of Russia",which means that he cares about the security of his own authoritarian regime.
There are ways for Russia to profit,perhaps the natural gas prices will hit 2000 euro,like Medvedev tweeted a few days ago,or the oil prices will hit a level above 100 dollars per barrel.In both cases Russia could increase it's revenue,but the question is:Will Europe keep buying Russian oil and gas?
2203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You Must be Over 18 years on: February 27, 2022, 06:54:27 AM
I read every Internet gambling had requirements that must be over 18 years. if a child is under that age, how did the website owner know that child was enough to age?. Because I was explored every Internet gambling here that almost didn't require uploading an ID card. A child could be lying by clicking correct sign under the register box.

You are right,this is kinda similar to alcohol&tobacco stores being restricted from selling alcohol and cigars to children and teenagers,but nobody could control those alcohol and tobacco stores 24/7.
In my country,there's absolutely no problem for children to buy alcohol and tobacco from almost every store,despite the fact that this is forbidden.
Perhaps all crypto casinos should impose mandatory ID verification,but this will piss off all the gamblers,who are above the age of 18.
I'm sure that the amount of kids/teenagers,who are gambling on crypto casinos is really small,because kids/teens don't have money to gamble.The problem remains and it will never be solved completely.
2204  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Watch out for cryptocurrency QR code generators, they're almost all fake! on: February 27, 2022, 06:34:33 AM
Can you elaborate more on this?Why would anybody search in Google or Bing for a QR code generator?
This doesn't make any sense.
I usually don't use QR codes,unless I'm required by some third party service,but I would never use a QR code to send or receive BTC or any altcoin.Wallet addresses are way better than QR codes,but you have to be careful when copy pasting the address characters.
I did a google search about this topic.Do you suggest that the websites bitcoinqrcodemaker.com,qr-code-generator.com and gobitcoin.io are scams?Maybe you are right.

Pretty much same as I said before we don't refund losses we will however refund the fee of using the service or extend until you profit. All payments go to a wallet that I will not touch and you will get the amount of coins you paid back. Not cash value due to fluctuating crypto prices. If you pay 0.025 eth you will get 0.025 eth back if you don't profit by end of subscription

It's difficult for me to believe in what you are stating.
Do you use some trusted escrow or a 2-2 multisig wallet?I don't believe promises made by people,who are saying that they will "not touch" coins,which are being held in their own cryptocurrency wallet.Sounds suspicious to me.
I don't trust screenshots of "winning bets" as well.Screenshots can be faked via inspect element in every browser.
Tipster services have always been shady for me.Perhaps you could another way to prove that you are legit.
2206  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is one but has many attributes on: February 25, 2022, 05:55:23 AM
What's the point of this forum thread,OP?
This is a Bitcoin forum and we as forum members are already familiar with all the qualities and features of Bitcoin.
Do you want to boost your post count by writing such (more or less) pointless forum posts?
I got tired of all the "Bitcoin is this..." and "Bitcoin is that..." "Bitcoin is awesome" or "Bitcoin is precious"
forum posts,that are adding absolutely nothing to the discussions on the forum.We know that Bitcoin Core/blockchain technology is awesome.There's no need to praise Bitcoin for it's awesomeness every day.
2207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buy Bitcoin, You'll Thank Me Later - Mexican Billionaire Says on: February 24, 2022, 11:47:14 AM
If you need some rich Mexican dude to tell you to buy bitcoin for you to do so, then I don't even know what to say lmao. There will be rich bulls on almost any other asset out there — hence it makes no sense to make decisions based on one rich man's opinion.

You are right,but unfortunately a lot of the people have a "sheep mentality",so they need someone to tell them what to do.Someone with authority and knowledge.The people,who are born to be followers cannot become leaders.
Obviously this Mexican billionaire is a diehard Bitcoin fan,so his opinions seems biased.I would like to hear the opinions of people,who are neutral or negative,when it comes to Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies.
Anyway,there's no reason for panic.We should just HODL and wait for a lower BTC price,before we buy more.
2208  Economy / Economics / Re: Economics on: February 24, 2022, 11:16:46 AM
A lot of countries are releasing/ contemplating to release their own digital currencies. EU is contemplating digital euro, Jamaica is thinking of digital Jamaican dollar.. India has already launched digital rupee..
How these currencies will affect the bitcoin/crypto ecosystem?

CBDC cannot affect the Bitcoin ecosystem directly.All these countries could do is banning Bitcoin/crypto in the lands,which are under their jurisdiction.Such crypto/BTC bans have been proven to be not-so-effective.
The people who use Bitcoin would most likely use digital fiat currencies as well.There's no reason for anyone to be required by the law to pick between two options.
CBDCs are still a bunch of projects.I don't know why they are being viewed as a threat for the existence of the cryptocurrency world.
2209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto stuck in sports betting site, now they want KYC on: February 24, 2022, 06:31:09 AM
Quote
have about $1,200 of BTC in there, nothing crazy. If I KYC myself they will simply say I broke their TOS and lock me out forever (I did the research on this already). KYC consists of ID, recent bills, and photo of yourself holding ID. The only piece of information this site has on me is an email address.

I have friends who have friends in other countries. Some of those friends of friends live in impoverished countries. What's stopping me from using them to KYC my account and then giving them a piece of the stuck funds? I would only need to gain access to retrieve the funds and would not continue to use the account or website.

I think that the website has info about all the IP addresses and proxies you used when logging in.
There's nothing left for you but to convince one of your friends to login and try to ID verify himself,but I'm not sure that this will work,since he will have to login using a different IP address.
What if some representative of the sports betting website checks your login history and sees all those different IP addresses and VPN proxies?I'm sure that he will become suspicious and ban your account forever.
That's why using a VPN to access gambling websites is always a bad move.
2210  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin price goes down as Russia begins Ukraine invasion on: February 24, 2022, 06:02:14 AM
This is panic selling and nothing else.I don't know why many BTC traders are panicking,but this is going to be temporary.Just HODL and forget about the Bitcoin price for a while.There's going to be a price recovery sooner or later.We just have to wait for it.The BTC blockchain is fine.The BTC miners aren't damaged in any way.
Comparing the Bitcoin price in 2014 with the current Bitcoin price is kinda wrong.Bitcoin wasn't as adopted by mainstream investors in 2014 and nobody cared about Bitcoin,when Russia invaded Crimea in 2014.
The Bitcoin price crashed in March 2020,when the pandemic started and everyone was panicking,but it reached 68K one year later.


2211  Economy / Gambling / Re: Betssen.com - Safe and Licensed - International Payment methods on: February 23, 2022, 11:30:58 AM
The casino is offering a gazillion payment methods(most of them are fiat)and only several cryptocurrencies.
This clearly isn't an actual crypto casino.It's more like a conventional online casino and maybe that's why KYC is mandatory right after registration.The casino simply can't offer so many fiat payment methods without a mandatory KYC procedure.
It's kinda weird for me that the owners of betsensasion are making another casino under a different domain name and trying to promote the new casino as if this is a completely different gambling operator,which has nothing to do with them.This looks like some weird marketing experiment.
Anyway,the forum thread looks unprofessional and I'm sure that OP will make some improvements.
I also assume that OP isn't some imposter and the link in the forum thread isn't a referral link.Or am I wrong? Grin
2212  Economy / Economics / Re: Measuring crisis effects on: February 23, 2022, 07:17:36 AM
Crises (e.g. due to the COVID-19 pandemic) damage markets. Economists look at the effects and try to figure out whether the markets recover. But it seems this is measured in nominal values. Now nearly everyone complains about inflation. In the end, there may still be less effective value even if it's said a given market has recovered from the crisis.

So, could the question whether the markets recovered be answered more accurately when measuring in a currency where the money supply is outside of control? Or would this assumption be flawed?

I'm sure that the economists are measuring the real effects of the crisis,not just the nominal effects.
The problem is that the "average Joe" cares only about the nominal or monetary effects.He doesn't care about the real growth of the industrial production.The mainstream media gives him what he wants-a bunch of nominal numbers.
The crisis,which was caused by the pandemic is more or less over.We are heading towards another crisis,which will be caused by the conflict between Russia/China and the Western World.
Natural gas prices will be increasing (because of Putin)and the inflation in Europe will keep going up,unfortunately.
2213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun alone? how true? on: February 23, 2022, 06:59:18 AM
Have you heard that some people gamble for fun and not necessarily to make money?

I find it hard to believe completely because who doesn't like to make some more money even if it is not needed.

If you knew the exact sum you were going to loose gambling, and you are the type that they say " gambles for fun", will you find it fun loosing that money still? will you return another day in awareness of how much you will loose and still want to loose for fun?



Definitely no,but losing small amounts of money for fun is OK.
Almost all the gamblers are gambling for fun AND for making money(if they are lucky enough).
Only a handful of gamblers would say that they are gambling for fun only.
Gambling addicts are gambling ONLY for the sake of making money,which is delusional and there's no fun.
I only gamble with small amounts,because losing a big amount of money via gambling isn't fun at all.
It would be painful as hell and it would make me quit gambling forever.
I'm glad that I can control myself and keep myself away from the gambling addiction trap.
2214  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A peculiar Response to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on: February 23, 2022, 06:28:22 AM
There's nothing funny about this.
The "Nunchuck team" is telling the truth.There's nothing funny about telling the truth.
I don't think that the Ontario Supreme Court is that incompetent,when it comes to cryptocurrency wallets and blockchain technology.
Basically the situation is the same as the Supreme Court ordering someone to give all his paper money,but the guy doesn't want to reveal where he buried his cash. Grin
Or the Supreme court orders some guy to reveal where other people have buried their paper money.
This is quite an oversimplification,but it sounds kinda ridiculous.
2215  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto prices crash as threat of war looms on: February 22, 2022, 12:19:55 PM
As per previous trends, the bitcoin price should increase in such cases whenever we will see a threat of unrrst or war. Because government controls the fiat and banks so it is very easy for them to freeze funds of the common people. We have already seen such instances during the Hongkong protest against China.

So I don't think the decrease in bitcoin price has anything to do with the current war situation. It has been triggered by something else!

Nah,the prices are dropping mostly because of the situation in eastern Ukraine.
For some reason,the crypto markets are following the stock markets in their ridiculous panic.
Putin declared,that he is accepting the independence of the two "people's republics" in eastern Ukraine and he will send troops there.The western world will impose sanctions over Russia.That was pretty much expected,but everyone is still acting as if this is some kind of surprise.
I actually thought that the conflict in Ukraine will boost Bitcoin/cryptocurrency prices but I was wrong.
2216  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin likely won't recover until 2025 on: February 22, 2022, 12:02:25 PM
One month ago,the Bitcoin price dropped to 34K USD and everyone was waiting for a 30K or 20K price bottom,stating that the recovery will be slow and a new ATH won't happen in 2023.
During February,the Bitcoin price went from 34K to 44K USD and everyone forgot about the doom&gloom predictions.Many people were expecting a bull run to 50K USD.
Now,the Bitcoin price is going down,all financial markets are going down due to the political situation.
The bears are dominating the market,predicting a new ATH in 2025.
In summary,don't trust anyone.Every opinion about the BTC price is just a price speculation.
2217  Economy / Economics / Re: OMG crypto is low ! what do i do ? on: February 22, 2022, 07:02:26 AM
OK,but what if I don't have programming and webdesign skills?
What if I don't have money to hire a good programmer to develop a "revolutionary" Dapp for me or a web designer to create the best NFT in the world for a small fee? Grin
I guess that I will have to stay poor for the rest of my life. Sad
It seems to me that you are trolling or trying to be sarcastic with your post.
The gas prices are what repulses me from Ethereum and everything that was built around Ethereum.
After so many years of endless hype,Ethereum transactions aren't more affordable than BTC transactions and ETH still isn't getting better than Bitcoin.
2218  Economy / Gambling / Re: How To Access Sportsbet.io or any kind of gambling without VPN on: February 22, 2022, 06:44:11 AM
Good luck with depositing money in a crypto casino and living with the constant fear of getting banned and losing everything. Grin
If you want to bet really small amounts just for the sake of having fun,I can say that trying to bypass country restrictions is OK.The casino always wins,it doesn't matter if you are going to lose a few dollars by playing gambling games or getting your account blocked.
I've seen this Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 method before.There's actually an Android app about it and the app has around 50 million installs,if remember this correctly.Not sure if it's going to work in the long term,though.
2219  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Economic Growth on a Bitcoin Standard on: February 22, 2022, 06:27:54 AM
Hypothetically if the USA pegged the US dollar to Bitcoin how would economic growth continue. I am a huge Bitcoin proponent but looking at it from this lens puzzles me. Restricting the printing press would, in my opinion, slow economic growth significantly. What would the world look like after this? Are there opposing viewpoints?

Economic growth means more goods and services being sold this year,compared to the previous years.
The currency doesn't matter.I know that the economic growth is being fueled by money printing,but such economic growth is artificial anyway.The USA would be fine without the fake economic growth,which is being pumped by getting more debt,which will have to be paid by the future generations.
A more stable currency would actually incentivize the economic activity and stimulate the people and businesses to produce and sell more goods and services.
2220  Economy / Economics / Re: US Government! You are Welcome to the Bitcoin Age. on: February 21, 2022, 12:18:02 PM

The way things are already going, if strict measures are not put in place could be very dangerous, people will pay a high price for that, the government as the sole protector of Its citizens must take the necessary decisions required,
Many scams already taking advantage of decentralization and free to everyone to carry out crimes, if the government doesn't carry out its executive responsibilities now in a few years things will really get ugly in this space.

What exactly are you trying to say?
Do you say that we have to pray to the all mighty US government to save us from the crypto scammers,or the crypto industry will sink into the ocean of cryptocurrency scams in the next few years?
I don't believe that the crypto industry is totally dominated by scams.The majority of the crypto exchange platforms and crypto casinos are legit.I'm not going to discuss all the crypto startups,ICOs,IEOs,DeFi,NFTs,because most of them are scams,but you could see from a mile that they are a scam,so only naive and gullible people would put their money there.
