I want to know who was that smart person which was working on making setlist? Because I am amazed to see 1xbit on second place.
It's also a shame to promote your website via this way + trying to get referrals. At least when you are doing something like this and still posting there, better to offer nice domain, design and reviews, not posts like written as a duty. Don't take it wrongly man but it's really truth, you won't get referrals from this forum via that way, show us statistics of referrals from this forum at the end of month, result will be zero.

To be fair it's almost impossible to say who is the richest person because we don't and won't know. Don't you know that magic happens behind the scenes?
Bitcoin is a great example for you to imagine who stays behind the wealth. Who stays behind the bitcoin? Satoshi which we don't know, can 100% say the same.
The Federal Reserve is privately owned which prints money and takes any decisions regarding USD, it looks like we all have debt of them. Even that richest "Jeff Bezos" has their debt.
There are very rich families that are left in shadow, for example Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgans and etc.
This world is very hard to understand in overall and I have no idea why human can turn from a good, lovely child into emperor and evil person.

2223  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [List] Gift cards providers on: December 10, 2019, 05:37:45 PM
Maybe purse.io can be included there, I know it isn't gift card provider but at some point you can pay with crypto and buy things on amazon, instead of buying dedicated gift card, you buy item and pay with discount. Idk, it's your choice.
Btw I have one question, for example imagine that I want to buy something from sephora and receive that item in America but they don't accept cards from my country (repeat again, for example), so I can't buy item. By purchasing Sephora's gift card, am I capable to buy item that way or still they need some information on my card and billing address? Or gift card and shipping address will complete this task?
2224  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you consider gambling to be a "fun activity"? on: December 10, 2019, 04:45:21 PM
Do you feel fun when you lose $100?
What about losing $1000 or $10000 when you gamble? Does it make you feel it was all fun?

I see many posters here in this Gambling Discussion forum claiming (usually with broken English) that gambling is fun, that there is no pain nor suffering when you lose money... because it's all fun, it's great, the best thing in the world ....

So I'd like to ask you honestly - how is it "fun" when you lose money? What makes it fun - the prediction of what's gonna happen next? The winnings make it fun? But no one can win 100% of the times, right? (except for the house)

I'd love to see one of those posters explain to me, rationally, how exactly they perceive it to be fun? Please try to explain yourself rationally (with broken English if necessary).

No, that won't be fun for me to lose 100$ because that will affect my budget and I amn't very rich to consider 100$ like it's 10 cent. But why to play/bet with 100$ ? For me 10$ is affordable, for others - 1000 and even more.
But I look gambling like this way: You pay some money in order to play particular game (like you pay money to buy Assassin's Creed, download from ubisoft and play).
Some people get fun from playing Call Of Duty while others get nervous because they can't pass some levels and etc, there are a lot of reasons that makes some happy and some - unhappy.
Personally I think it depends on person, I can get fun from playing blackjack live because it's different experience, you can talk with dealer and etc, that's fun and in order to get this fun, you need to pay some money, always place minimum bets and never think about doubling of it, if you are doing so, then you'll lose money quickly.
Imagine, with 1000 satoshies, you can place minimum bet 1000 times on dice, it's a lot if you have dice cravings, so cheap, yeah? But when you start betting of 0.0001, 0.0002, 0.0004 and so on, then you are doing very wrong.

At first bitcoin startups need money and as far as I understood from your previous post, you have lack of them and to be fair usually people aren't willing to share their ideas and sometimes I am in this list too but personally I can offer you some advice according to your skills.
Have you heard anything about Envato? This is an amazing platform for developers to earn decent money. If you are talented, you can design website templates, android apps and etc, build them and then sell. There are some projects that have huge sales. Imagine you sell wordpress theme for 30$ and it's good, has 10 sell, that's already 300$, pretty good but usually projects have more than 200 sells. If you create multiple projects, I think it will be very beneficial, especially when you get money in USD and that money seems decent amount in your country.
2226  Economy / Reputation / Re: I'm just posting my own experience on: December 10, 2019, 03:11:59 PM
Not much but sometime, because English is not my native language
Please don't use it to make posts like this in the English section, because they're really hard to understand.

I reported the OP because I'm not sure this is a Meta topic, but I could be wrong.  I'm not sure where else it would belong, but this isn't a forum issue really.

Qustion: Why posting almost every post scam related?
This is part of what I don't understand.  Most posts on the forum aren't "scam related" so I don't know what you're thinking.  If you got scammed I feel sorry for you, but what do you want us to do?

So now i decided not to silent, i will not stop posting untill i save someone.
I'd advise you to rethink that strategy or at least try saving people in your local board.
You really made my day Cheesy

I'll try my best to decrypt the meaning behind of google translate. Get some fun from it:
OP saying:
Quote
"Today I want to tell you something different about me because some people may think that I am very dramatic.
All I am doing is posting of my own experiences, I know it hurts a lot when you are getting scammed and I have been a victim of scam for so many times, sometimes I even feel that there is no way to earn some money from cryptocurrencies.
Question: Why are almost all of my posts related to scams?
Answer: Trust me guys, I been scammed so many times that I don't plan to keep silence, I plan to speak loudly and save as much people as possible.
I hope you guys will support me this journey to fight against scams together".

P.S Like in wikipedia, you can feel free to make any changes in my translation. I tried my best to make it readable and understandable.

Wow, pretty amazing website, idk why but this is the first time I heard about this website. In overall design is amazing and I like when it has a lot of functions and you did that job pretty well but I didn't understand why there is WiFi symbol on your website. That possibility of earning dividends is great too and seems more and more websites are going to offer us that.
But I have one question to owner, don't you accept to investors? On "traditional casinos" as you mention, there is a little bit doubt for investors cause if you (owner for example) know server seeds, you can manipulate and get a lot of win or loss and this way you can lie to investors and say: There was one gambler who won a lot and what can we do, seems you didn't profit much.
If game is 100% decentralized in your case and no one can manipulate the result, why not to offer investment options and expand even more?
2228  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto Taxation on: December 08, 2019, 06:16:49 PM
Ever since Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies became a hit within the mainstream world, governments have been quite skeptical about them. Despite the promise of crypto to bring trustless payments to the world in a frictionless manner, governments have taken every effort to try to prevent its growth worldwide. As of now, centralized exchanges dominate the space where they're subject to KYC/AML laws. There's literally no way to prevent government surveillance except for P2P trading (like Local Bitcoins, etc).

Considering that centralized exchanges serve as gateways from crypto to Fiat (or vice-versa), they've been the targets of governments worldwide. The main concern of governments is tax evasion and money laundering. Sometimes I wonder why governments want to tax our cryptocurrency funds if they're not considered as money by most people worldwide? After all, crypto's nature is a highly unpredictable and volatile one. It seems to me that governments want to profit from this venture more than anything else. Any other cryptocurrency which prevents them from "taxing" people, would be considered illegal to them in the future (like Monero, and other privacy coins).

Which is why, I believe that crypto taxation is more of a problem than anything else. Do you agree with me? What are your thoughts? Huh
Governments weren't skeptical about bitcoin, no, they know pretty well what's pros and cons of it. Do you really think that in government people look world in different colors? And they are stupid enough to not understand what's bitcoin and how/why it's used? They know it well but want to benefit themselves, not you, that's the problem. Despite the fact that some country don't consider bitcoin as a currency, taxes are welcome for that. They say different thing and do different thing, I think it's 100% clear, at least elections are pure example of it.
2229  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bull run is delayed! Halving not helping! Bear go away on: December 08, 2019, 12:43:31 PM
And it's still unclear why do you think that bull run is delayed, halving hasn't happened yet, it will happen in 14 May so there is 5 months left. I wouldn't state any conclusion right now regarding to upcoming halving and price rice bad correlation because if we remember the last halving, price didn't rise up quickly, it happened slowly, at first price was stable 600$, then begun slow and slow rise, we surpassed 1000$ which was still hard to imagine for a lot of people but this wasn't the path where we stopped, we went even further and reached 2000$, then had some fall and rises but finally got huge boost and boost and again slowly in overall but sometimes with fast pushes, we reached 20K usd.
Why not to have hopes on current halving? I think we have to keep more positive feelings than negative, all of us in order to achieve our goal regarding to bitcoin price. Plus I want to add that 64% of stored bitcoins haven't moved since 2018 which means a lot of people still hold and number of them are huge and they don't hold for no reason.
2230  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could Bitcoin increase as in 2017? on: December 05, 2019, 11:48:35 PM
Hi everyone, I'm new to the platform and a new crypto-currency lover and passionate about blockchain technology. I have lots of ideas and questions about crypto currencies and my first one, could Bitcoin see its value increase as much as in 2017? Thank you 

Since you mentioned that you have a lot of ideas about cryptocurrencies, I think it will be great to state them cause as I see people are out of fantasy and are looking for them.
It can but we can't say exactly and since we can't say exactly, how one can say that bitcoin can see it's value to increase as much as in 2017? Hard case yeah? Yes, cause we don't know which scenario will happen, it's like 50/50 in this situation.
Btw one thing that gives me hope is that 64% of bitcoin's haven't moved since 2018 which means hodlers are looking for great rise and what's the best time of it? Of course halving like that happend in last one.
2231  Economy / Gambling / Re: Blackjack.fun - PROVABLY FAIR Blackjack Accepts Dash/Bitcoin/Litecoin on: December 05, 2019, 10:33:12 PM
Wow, really nice UI, your design is very, very different from others, at least from what I have seen and I really enjoy it, especially when you give us permission to play your BlackJack without register and deposit, that's great deal.
Personally I suggest you to do implement some more things to make your BlackJack really amazing one.
What about to add function of voice support? Where Dealer speaks like that happens in live blackjack, for example: You've got 12, what about to hit, you got 17, maybe stand...
Dealer shows Ace, what about insurance?
Think about this OP, doesn't sound bad idea.
2232  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the faith of Scammers if bitcoin later becomes a traceable Currency. on: December 05, 2019, 10:12:09 PM
Bitcoin as a currency that is decentralized, they is no Headquarters for Bitcoin and it has no Central office where they distribute information concerning Bitcoin, Like illicit transactions that money was lost but recovered after some investigations through the distributed information.

like someone said on my previous thread that more people will be comfortable using bitcoin if these features comes into place.

Share your thoughts.
As said, blockchain is an open book. Download whole blockchain and you'll have whole data of all of transactions but why is bitcoin still considered as anonymous? It also depends on you to make transaction anonymous by using mixers and etc, then things are getting harder. So for them small people aren't alarm but they won't turn their back if there is illicit transaction where big guys are involved, then they'll try their best to dig and find them.
Just see yourself, every day more and more news are published where they say, some people that were laundering bitcoin, were found, hackers whom stole money, were found. Governments are getting better in transaction tracking everyday.
2233  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling Payments Processor Skrill launches “Skrill Cryptocurrency Service" on: December 05, 2019, 09:42:20 PM
Cliffnotes>  "customers can use bitcoin to buy other cryptocurrencies using the Skrill Cryptocurrency Service. This means their customers no longer have to convert their holdings in one cryptocurrency back to FIAT before purchasing an a different cryptocurrency, resulting in less transactions and lower fees.

The Skrill website now offers a BTC pairing for every cryptocurrency available in Skrill, with future pairings expected to be added soon."

Source: Gambling Payments Processing company Skrill launches “Skrill Cryptocurrency Service”

That's not news.
Skrill is accepting crypto currencies sine year ago.
And who says that Skrill started accepting cryptocurrencies? In this news it's stated that from now on skrill customers are able to use bitcoin to buy other cryptocurrencies and in future it's planned to be able of crypto to crypto exchange. And that news was published one week ago which is officially published on paysafe group's web page: https://www.paysafe.com/paysafegroup/news/
OP Skrill isn't only gambling payment processor so I think this place isn't right section to discuss about that, I suggest you to move this thread in economics section.
2234  Economy / Economics / Re: Hi Excuse me Are currencies a "store of value on: December 05, 2019, 09:12:25 PM
Hi i'm monolicaคาสิโน
A quick history of currencies and paper money shows that money began as a deposit of a certain value of gold/silver and then turned into a representation of the promises of those who issue it.
Looking at the US dollar, it has lost more than 90% of its value, making all paper currencies a bad example of a "store of value." "I do not want to mention the scenario that happened in the state of Venezuela or Germany after the war."sagame
What is USD? Just paper banknotes but that has purchasing power and that purchasing power also depends on supply. Imagine you are the only company that produces smartphones, demand will be huge and your item will be pricey but now see current situation where there are huawei, samsung, apple, sony, xiamo and etc, price are far low cause demand is still high but supply is a lot. Dollar has the same case. Government prints a lot of money so there is a lot of usd in circulation that causes money inflation. Imagine there was very limited supply of water, you would pay a lot just to drink it but when it's like unlimited, it's not pricey.
Btw Germany did great job in improving their economy, it amazes me, so quickly and so highly and from so low economy where prices were changing like timer.
2235  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are the world’s governments not using cryptocurrencies? on: December 05, 2019, 08:42:21 PM
I’ve recently learned the many advantages of cryptocurrencies and how they can revolutionize the way we use money around the world, so why are the world’s governments not adopting them to be used as a form of currency?

There are many advantages of cryptocurrencies that surpass fiat currencies that we used on a day to day basis such as better security due to blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies not really being affected by global financial events as it is a decentralized currency
   
Why are the governments not adopting cryptocurrencies? Is it a world-wide conspiracy by the elite in order to keep in power? Or is it that the people in charge are rather ignorant of the advantages of cryptocurrencies in order to keep the current system of power?

At first please can you clarify how bitcoin can revolutionize the way we use money around the world? Imagine I am just foreign person and don't know what it is so enlighten me.
Personally I think the way cryptocurrencies surpass fiat currencies is that they can be limited and no one can fake that. Cryptos as a payment method is another huge thing where I see the light.
Do you really think governments will use cryptocurrencies if they aren't sure that they have huge control on it? Government won't let you to print money and spend your printed money, they print as much money as they want and it's legal for them while illegal for you. Also they find it legal to create debt that you have to pay but find illegal from you to not pay taxes and etc.
It's still good they don't touch crypto that much but also I want to mention that in Ohio you are able to pay taxes via cryptocurrencies that's a good thing.
Currently as I see governments are hugely interested in blockchain technologies because of it's benefits.
2236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2 Dice Strategies that Might be Proven Helpful on: December 05, 2019, 08:19:21 PM
Do we really hang on house edge? I think this isn't something that you have to ignore and also I want to remind you that mathmatically every game is set to be profitable for casino on long term. Both strategy that you provided doesn't lessen risk of lose, maybe they can help you to play a little bit more time but if time is what you are looking for, just bet  0.00000001 btc and you will be ok.
Also if you are still looking to build new strategies or test current ones, you can use mydicebot's simulator to get result of what will happen on long term.
2237  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is there a service that lets you lock your Bitcoin for 24-48 hours etc.? on: December 05, 2019, 07:01:17 PM
Idk why but no one has mentioned bitcoin mixers. What about to use them for that purpose? Well, I know minus is that you won't get any interest (I highly doubt you'll receive one in any case) and you have to pay some percent fees but finally you achieve what you wanted and also get coins in a very privacy way.
You can send bitcoins to any mixer's address and then choose the adress you want to receive, then set time delay (any minutes/seconds), for example cryptomixer allows you max 96h delay and then receive your bitcoins, it absolutely suits what you want, something like time lock feature.

Thanks a lot.
I've just checked CryptoMixer - looks like Amazing way to achieve what I was looking for in this thread. Thanks so much.

Just a few questions for you:

1) How safe is CryptoMixer?
2) Are there other sites like CryptoMixer?

[banned mixer] is one of the oldest bitcoin mixer, they also proved that they really own more than 2000 bitcoin. You can trust this website but if privacy is highest priority for you, then I suggest to use chipmixer because you may know three trusted member of this forum verified cryptomixer's funds and they already know their cold wallet adress. Otherwise if you aren't doing anything illegal and seeking for very high security, then everything is ok, still that's my personal opinion about their security.
You can see list of bitcoin mixers there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2827109.0
2238  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Cloud Storage Marketplace? on: December 05, 2019, 06:42:35 PM
That's true Napster did get shut down but correct me if i'm wrong but there should be more things that people can share other than copyrighted material. Still it's just a very rough idea at this point in time so comments are still welcome. Thanks.
Yes, there can be but you know, people love sharing copyrighted materials like games, movies and etc. Despite the fact that Napster had issues, you can adapt something like Youtube has for protecting copyrights (idk how is that possible or even whether that's possible but just saying if it's). Or also maybe including button of copyright abuse can help a little.
Otherwise only deal in this situation to my mind is to operate that business in DMCA ignored places like Russia for example but in this case you have to get rid of their copyrighted materials I guess.
2239  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Microwallet.co - A Step Towards Saving The Faucet Industry on: December 05, 2019, 06:19:03 PM
I loved faucethub, not because I was using that but this website among some of others awakes old vibes in me where bitcoin world was really beautiful. They had a lot of projects besides faucet and some of them closed 1-2 years ago but at the same time I like that they are going to offer Offerwall services.
I think faucets are already dead, only alive thing that still somehow keeps going on feet, is old and gold freebitco but I still think they'll decide rebranding.
Wish you luck OP but personally I can't look at faucet business as beneficial one especially now.
2240  Economy / Speculation / Re: Another Accurate Bitcoin Price Prediction (going on the record again) on: December 05, 2019, 05:10:03 PM
Pretty accurate for now. I also believe that we won't go below 6k. I thought so last year and when we went lower to 3k is said to myself that it has to be a manipulation and decided not to even participate. I took a break from investments, kept holding, turned to my family and other hobbies. I still think that a fall from 5 to 3 k was manipulated by wall street trying to short and induce fear into this market. Maybe even the US government had something to do with it. They can print as much money as they want and crash this market whenever they want.

It's obvious that a large number of holders, including myself, stay away from  the market in such periods. What decides the price is a handful of rich dudes doing their best to make newbies who entered the market this year to give up and sell. The easiest way to do it is to buy OTC and dump it all at once to liquidate longs and buy them out lower.

I wish the prediction comes true and this will once again be a higher low from which we'll move to retest 10k.
No, US government don't had anything to do with it and despite the fact that they can print as much money as they wish, it can't crash market cause printing such amounts of money will cause crash of USA's market at first cause US citizens will have to pay so huge debt.
And yes, in such situations a lot of holders stay away from market and statistics proves that too: 64% of bitcoin supply hasn't moved since 2018
Good video OP, try to upgrade microphone and edit voice in future when you'll hit 10K subscriber and it will help you to attract new people and better monetize your channel.
