2221  Economy / Economics / Re: What economic sanctions will US impose on Russia on: February 20, 2022, 06:46:26 AM
The US sanctions will be pointed towards the oligarchs,who are close to Putin.
They will most likely repeat and supplement the sanctions,that were imposed back in 2014,when Russia invaded Crimea.
The Russian companies will be banned from doing business in the USA and holding any funds in US bank accounts.The EU might impose the same sanctions as well.Perhaps some rich Russians will be kicked out of the western world and they won't be allowed to visit western countries anymore.
I don't think that any western country would stop Russia from exporting oil,natural gas,metals and raw materials.This would be an economic suicide.

2222  Economy / Gambling / Re: Fun Stats about Bitcoin Casinos | Infographic on: February 20, 2022, 06:21:33 AM
That's a pretty cool infographic.
The important data I want to know about is the actual number of active gamblers on all these crypto casinos.
Unfortunately,no crypto casino would give accurate data about the real number of active gamblers on the platform.They would most likely come up with fake and inflated numbers of active players.
The fact that 49% of the crypto casinos don't have a gambling license is also a big red flag.
Another interested info would the total amount of cryptocurrencies spent on cryptocurrency gambling during the years.I'm sure that it's impossible to reveal the real amount,but knowing about how big the crypto gambling industry actually is would have been great.
2223  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: FUD seems to be majorly targeted towards well perfoming assets like Bitcoin. on: February 20, 2022, 06:03:25 AM
It's not just the Paypal stocks.Almost all big corporations were heavily pumped by the Federal Reserve during the pandemic.That was clearly a stock price bubble and it popped.You could see it on the chart.The stock price went crazy after the pandemic struck in the beginning of 2020.Perhaps there were expectations that the people will abandon cash payments due to the risk of getting infected and focus only of digital payment solutions like Paypal.Well,this didn't happen and the people didn't abandon cash payments.
We cannot compare stocks to crypto,because spreading lies and FUD that would manipulate stock prices is considered illegal,AFAIK.The sad thing is that the same regulation doesn't apply to the crypto market.
Spreading lies,in order to manipulate cryptocurrency prices should also be considered illegal.
2224  Economy / Speculation / Re: ukraine battlefield bear market on: February 18, 2022, 11:19:34 AM
As we know at the end of 2021 the price of bitcoin decreased due to entering a bear market because of the new year.
But now bitcoin continues to decline again due to Russia's war with Ukraine.
In your opinion, is this the reason the bitcoin price keeps dropping, sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down again.
Because there is a new issue that says that there is no war between Russia and Ukraine but the American mind.

OP,are you using Google Translate or something?
It seems to me that some AI robot had written your forum post. Grin
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine/NATO/USA has an impact over the global financial markets,not just the cryptocurrency markets.There's no proof of a direct correlation between this conflict and what's happening with the Bitcoin price.However,nobody could deny that there's an influence over the BTC price,stocks prices,indexes,commodity prices,etc.
I'm sure that Putin won't invade Ukraine,but for some reason,he wants to keep the tension on the Russo-Ukrainian borders.He has some hidden agenda.
2225  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin's price once goes into consolidation in a critical area where speculator on: February 18, 2022, 10:57:37 AM
I wonder what was the reason for the current price drop from 44K to 40K USD.
The Bitcoin market isn't ready for a bull run.Historically February isn't one of best months for Bitcoin(even though historical data doesn't matter that much).There are some bullish news coming from Russia and Ukraine(even though I don't trust those bullish news),but the Bitcoin price reacted with a drop.
There's nothing important going on in the world of Bitcoin,so this price drop could be explained with normal price volatility.More sellers want to sell,but less buyers want to buy.
I'm still optimistic about a bull run happening during the spring,but it's OK if 2022 turns out to be a bearish year for BTC.We will be waiting for another ATH in 2023 or 2024.
2226  Economy / Gambling / Re: 1win on Bitcointalk! on: February 18, 2022, 07:07:15 AM
Ok, this must be the weirdest thread on this forum .... OP start a thread without mentioning the site he is promoting. People ask him what the site is and they give him directions on how to acquire Bronze membership, but nothing happens.

Is this a teaser thread for the big reveal or is this some cheap advertising technique to get people curious or for them to Google and then to end up on the wrong site? (A scammer can quickly create a phishing site and cash in on this type of marketing)  Roll Eyes

I see a lot of other sites with similar domains.... eg. 1win-bet.com / 1-win.casino / 1winbet.in etc.. etc..  Roll Eyes

Yeah,this is weird.OP didn't even post a link to the crypto casino he is promoting(or at least trying to provide customer support service,I'm confused). What's the point?Maybe he can't post the link,because the URL will be rejected,due to being suspicious.
I don't believe that such phishing scams would work.No gambler is stupid enough to deposit money in a crypto casino,which doesn't have enough reviews,feedback,players,active customer support,gambling license,etc.
It seems that OP is really unprofessional and he doesn't know how this forum works.I hope that he will come back and answer all the questions.

2227  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ukraine Just Legalized Bitcoin on: February 18, 2022, 06:45:16 AM
First Russia adopted crypto and announced to make it legal and now the Ukraine did the same. Both of these countries are at the verge of war against each other.
Though it makes no sense but still i wonder if the tense situation in both countries is the triggering point for the adoption of bitcoin?

Russia and Ukraine becoming more liberal towards the crypto industry seems really weird.
Anyway,this is good news.It's way better for the crypto traders and miners in both countries to know that dealing with cryptocurrencies isn't in the "greyhat" area of legislation and regulations.
AFAIK,crypto isn't 'adopted' in Russia,because:
1.Crypto wasn't really banned in Russia.
2.Legalizing cryptocurrencies isn't exactly adoption.Real adoption would be the government and big companies starting to accept cryptocurrency payments,which isn't case and most likely will never happen.
2228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: App for analisys NFT collections on: February 17, 2022, 12:12:50 PM
1.Scam adviser isn't enough for catching NFT scam projects.
2.NFT trading volumes can be artificially pumped.The Youtuber Cofeezilla has a great video uploaded recently about a team of serial NFT scammers,who keep launching over hyped NFT projects.
Those scammers launch fake giveaways to boost the NFT projects and they are buying and selling the NFTs with a bunch of their own accounts,funded with their own money.This creates fake trading volume and increases the hype around the NFT.
Good luck with your project,but I have to say that I am skeptical.
2229  Economy / Economics / Re: US national debt exceeds $30 trillion on: February 17, 2022, 11:39:49 AM
As long as the US dollar keeps being the number one reserve currency,the US debt can keep growing without any issues.The Federal Reserve will keep printing money and buying US government bonds and other countries will keep buying US dollars for their foreign transactions and national currency reserves.
The real problem will occur,when the US dollars stops being a global reserve currency.I'm sure that Russia,China and many more countries will decide to stop using US dollars in their transactions at some point.
The question is what happens next?Hyperinflation in the USA or the US government going bankrupt?Or maybe both?
2230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Round of 16! on: February 17, 2022, 06:54:25 AM
I'm sure that Bayern will defeat Salzburg in the next game.1-1 is a good result away from Munich and the Austrian team actually isn't so weak,even though it can't be compared to Bayern.
I was reading some statistics about Bayern receiving 12 goals in the last 10 games.They definitely have some problems in their defense,so I don't think that Bayern is going to be the biggest favorite for winning this year's edition of the UEFA Champions League.
I wasn't surprised to see PSG winning against Real Madrid,but PSG will have a hard time in the next match against Real.
Liverpool and Man City winning against Inter and Sporting was pretty much expected.
2231  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anything like Moneygram but accept crypto on: February 16, 2022, 12:21:41 PM
Like first person who responded, the best way is localbitcoins but not without risk and in fact with very high risk hence the bad rates.

I know a lot of Afghan people use moneysenders in Pakistan which is near the border. You send money there also with Moneygram and they make sure it gets sent to the Afghani across the border. This is probably the safest, just need to make phone calls Smiley

OP asked for non-KYC platforms.Localbitcoins requires ID verification.
The non-KYC platforms like Bisq and hodlhold probably don't have people,who accept BTC/Moneygram trades.
Unfortunately,it's pretty hard to use payment services in a such underdeveloped country like Afghanistan.
There has to be a way around this,but this would require multiple middlemen,who will charge a fee and make the process really expensive.There's also the problem of trying to find middlemen,who are actually legit and won't scam you.This makes things even worse.
Good luck with this,OP.
2232  Economy / Economics / Re: Canada to freeze Freedom Convoy Protestors bank accounts... on: February 16, 2022, 11:59:52 AM
It's very hard to believe that a progressive country like Canada has taken such a drastic step like an authoritarian country. Peaceful protests comes under human rights. I didn't hear any news of violence during the trucker's protest. So it's surprising that Canadian government has decided to freeze the bank account of the protesters.

But that's where we can clearly see the benefits of bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Your money stays with you and no third party has control over it. That should be the norm.

I'm not surprised at all.
All the "progressive" leftists want a "big government",that can control every aspect of our lives and act like a babysitter.As if all the people above the age of 18 cannot take care of themselves and act rationally. Grin
The "progressive" leftists and liberals support only the protests made by other leftists and liberals.
All the "civil rights" mumbo-jumbo about "every citizen having the right to protest" doesn't apply to the people,who don't share the liberal agenda.This is hypocrisy.
The protests must go on and the protesters will be funded by cryptocurrencies.If Bitcoin doesn't do the work(because of regulated crypto exchanges and BTC wallets),then perhaps the protesters can start using privacy coins like Monero.
2233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 16, 2022, 07:05:49 AM
I understand what the player is going through and what this might mean to him.

But at the same time, I absolutely do not agree with this because this seems to be almost suicidal.

And I honestly cannot decide if this is bravery or stupidity. This involves a huge amount of risk for the player. But I have to say that this man is something else. He prioritized football over his own health, this is not something that should be done but this is actually amazing.

I don't understand how other players will be able to play against Eriksen,when they know about his condition.
Football is a physical sport and I assume that nobody would want to tackle or try to hurt Christian Eriksen.
Many football players get into a deep depression,when they quit professional football.Football is the meaning of their lives.They just can't handle the massive change in their lives,after they quit.Maybe that's why Eriksen doesn't want to retire.
This is both brave and reckless,but I guess that nobody in the world can convince Erisken to retire.
Even his wife cannot convince him.
2234  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People Overthink Potential of Bitcoin on: February 16, 2022, 06:32:30 AM
The people aren't overthinking Bitcoin's potential.They are overestimating it(at least some of the Bitcoin maximalists). Overthinking and overestimation are two completely different things.
Bitcoin is NOT a magical tool,that will solve all global problems.Bitcoin cannot replace any government or any big corporation.Bitcoin can be used only as a replacement of fiat currencies.
The questions about leadership have nothing to do with Bitcoin,because Bitcoin/blockchain can exist without leaders and there's no need of leadership in a fully decentralized environment,such as the blockchain.
2235  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is there a way to actually get to know the real price of Bitcoin? on: February 15, 2022, 12:20:13 PM

Consider an anonymous whale "A" created an order for Bitcoin big enough to be completed exactly at that moment and this data is taken into account with the Institutions, Investors, and especially the EXCHANGEs which in turn creates a fake situation in the market about the demand of Bitcoin which then taken into account by charts, gives us the prediction of the price rising and in turn the order by the whale is not yet completed.

This, in turn, raises the price of Bitcoin, and meanwhile, the order is still not completed,

You are contradicting yourself.
How come the buy order will be big enough to be completed "exactly at the moment" and at the same time,the order will not be completed?This doesn't make any sense.

Let's say that a crypto whale creates a buy order for 50K USD for a relatively big amount go BTC.
The buy order will be executed immediately,because everyone would want to sell at a price,that is way above the current Bitcoin market price(42K).That's instant profit.
In the end,the crypto whale will just buy a bunch of overpriced Bitcoins.This might pump the Bitcoin price for a while,but the price pump will be weak and temporary,because a FOMO phase cannot be created by a single  buy order.
2236  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When your freedom is taken, bitcoin and crypto is the solution! on: February 15, 2022, 11:59:35 AM



Again another perfect example why Bitcoin is Freedom!

Well, the shops don't really accept bitcoin. And I don't see people buying bread and milk from darknet.

It's a 100% fucked up situation and I think that with every new step that government is going towards the edge of a cliff.

I agree that no merchant accepts BTC for bread and milk.The  protesters will have to use services like Localbitcoins,Paxful or Bisq to sell their BTC for fiat money,which means that they will have to provide their ID cards and comply with KYC policies.This means that the governments can still track their personal info and try to shut down their Localbitcoins,Paxful or Bisq accounts.
This is a really bad situation,but I'm sure that the people are clever enough to find a solution.They will always find a way to get around the rules set by the governments.
2237  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Inflation is a big problem for a country? on: February 15, 2022, 07:16:39 AM
We all know that Inflation in the US economy is at an alarming rate. Not the only USA, but Inflation is also a big problem for many countries globally, and it seems there is no way to stop it. Is it impossible to stop inflation in fiat currency or govt don't want to take any action it stop it? Do you think people can do anything to stop inflation in their economy or its inevitable?

The governments don't really want to stop inflation,because:
1.Inflation leads to debt devaluation(including government debts).
2.Inflation boosts the tax revenue.AFAIK,this is called "inflation tax".
Bigger revenue from VAT taxes and income taxes is what every government in the world wants.

The governments/central banks want to put inflation under control,by lowering it to levels below 5% per year.
It has been stated by many economists that low inflation can be actually good for the economy.
High inflation is a big problem,because it increases the poverty among the working class people and it disrupts the business cycle,making it hard to many business owners to plan their investments in the long term.
 
2238  Economy / Gambling / Re: ⚡ Thunderpick.com ⚡ Crypto Esports Betting 🎮🖥️🖱️ on: February 15, 2022, 06:55:26 AM
The forum thread design looks really professional and the Thunderpick casino looks really nice.
I'm searching for flaws but I can't seem to find any.
The "0% deposit and withdrawal fee" is kinda misleading,because there is a transaction fee on the blockchain. Grin I'm kidding,but some players might forget about that.
I'm not active in the esports betting field,but I might give it a try.
Accepting dogecoin deposits seems like a joke to me,but whatever. Grin
Thunderpick has a 3.9 out of 5 stars score on Trustpilot,which is based on 93 reviews.
I know that Trustpilot reviews can be faked,but websites like Trustpilot can be used as indicator about how legit a business actually is.
3.9/5 is pretty good score.Crypto casinos,that are way bigger than Thunderpick have lower scores.
2239  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin War on: February 15, 2022, 06:28:48 AM
What do you mean by "large scale battle"?Do you mean a real war?No,I don't think so.
Even the so called "pro-Bitcoin" countries aren't that "pro-Bitcoin"(maybe except El Salvador).
They are more like neutral and liberal towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies,but that doesn't mean that they actually like Bitcoin/crypto.No country in the world would bother fighting for Bitcoin.
There's always a possibility for the pro-Bitcoin countries to become anti-Bitcoin.
El Salvador turned into a pro-Bitcoin country only because the president of El Salvador is a hardcore Bitcoin maximalist,not because the people of El Salvador are really fascinated of Bitcoin.
2240  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: New and emerging Cryptocurrencies? on: February 14, 2022, 12:05:05 PM
Does anyone know how to monitor new and emerging cryptocurrencies?
I hear about these floats of new cryptocurrencies but have not idea how to know when they're coming. 

Thanks

Nobody is going to spoon feed you OP.
Just use your brain.Where do these emerging altcoin/shticoin/token projects promote their stuff?
Social media,Reddit,Forums,coin listing websites,etc.The forum members before me have already answered this question.
My question is why do you even care about upcoming altcoins/tokens?Do you expect to find "the new Bitcoin" or "the new Ethereum" among the ocean of shitcoins?Or maybe you want to find the new dogecoin/shiba inu?
It seems to me that you want to jump into the pump&dump shitcoin market. Grin
Good luck with this and be careful.The only people who are making money out of the shitcoins are their developers.
