2241  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: August 08, 2022, 05:29:09 PM
I think it is never safe to make any prediction at the start of the season because most teams are quite rusty at the start of the season. And that’s why oftentimes we see a lot of unpredictable results. But as the season goes on the results become much more better and predictable. It is quite easy to be greedy watching good odds. But at the start of the season, it is never a good idea to bet on any team in my opinion. But obviously, people who don’t love their money can do anything with it.

You know what happens at this surprise party with little clubs, it's generally the result of new signees. When new players are signed to a new team, they are likely to want to show the team that they are capable of doing something for the team, something extraordinary, so they score goals to impress everyone, either as a collective effort of the team or as an individual effort, but you know a single person from a group can't do enough, they get tired of the struggle and become relentless, and this is how their team performance begins to wear off. Check out the friendly matches and other leagues that have started, the new signees are scoring the most goals.

Remember that chelsea and arsenal are also starting to back to its best performance. MU is the one who has been giving the worst performance. If that will always continue and it will become a disaster. Maybe it's too early for us to say about this but im sure that if this will become one of the most competitive season in the english premier league. I hope that any other small club can perform like brighton.

I can guarantee that Tuchel will end the season at the top of the table for Chelsea, but not for Arsenal. Their last game was entertaining, and I liked how their defence played, but you know that the next time they play against England's big squads like Liverpool and Manchester City, they won't last, and will most likely not make it to the end.
It is too early to give credit in this League, if not for Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City, who have been bouncing around the table in past years, there hasn't been a small team like Brighton who has managed to finish the season in the Top 4, the shuffle team has always been Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City.
2243  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think New Casino Should Partnered With Bounty Managers To Gain Trust? on: August 08, 2022, 04:35:21 PM
We have no record of bounty managers admitting they are part owner of one casino, and I don't think they will disclose it, it's a conflict of, interest who will hire a bounty manager that is a part owner or owner of their competitor, they are good as an independent bounty manager than being part of the team and if they are part of the team they are not going to disclose it to protect their hard-earned reputation here.

There is something I don't understand from this statement and paragraphs but I will appreciate it if you could throw in more light since I don't know and can't speak on reputation as I'm neutral by profile, however, is there a reputation to protect if you are part of a casino team? If You have a reputation in the community, I believe people will want to conduct business with you because they believe you and that will be a good selling point of the casino without raise of any doubt. If one has a reputation to protect in the community, he will do anything to be transparent about the casino at all costs and will pay out all winning except if his not part of the team or working as a bounty manager and been a manager, you can't do much when there is a problem with a casino.
2244  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 08, 2022, 03:48:37 PM
It is not easy to stabilize a completely disorganized team. There are still many internal problems within the Manchester United team. The understanding between team players is not good. Ronaldo is playing with Manchester United against his will. Ten Hag should have sold Ronaldo and looked for a new striker. However, United's main goal is to qualify for the Champions League. If Ten Hag's match tactics are good, United will be able to qualify for the Champions League. Otherwise, Manchester United will be sixth or seventh in the points table.

There is nothing wrong with Manchester United, do they really lack understanding skills or they are having a had time to stay relevant? If I recall during last season, Arsenal had difficulty winning a single match at the beginning of the season and they later changed as the league progressed even though they didn't make it to the top four, so a single game isn't enough to justify their performance already, isn't it the same Brighton they beat during club friendlies, let us see what they will do in their next away match.
I see so many United Fans are so angry that Ronaldo was benched and later substituted when the match was becoming tough for them but I didn't blame Ten Erik for his decision, Ronaldo should be treated that way for thinking he can do whatever he chose to do with the club, his well paid, enough of all these transfer news and get down to business.

Shall we all agree that foul has been canceled this season, Gabriel foul was obvious and William was supposed to be a PK for Crystal Palace but they are all ignored, is VAR no longer available or perhaps we are getting entertain as the season began today.
I'm happy for Arsenal, making another goal wouldn't be a bad idea, I want to see them maintain that top on the table after they are done with Palace.

Don't judge someone's knowledge of bitcoin and bitcointalk from their ranks because there are lot of exceptions to explain the ranks is not actually determine everything, just go to the technical board where you see low ranked members who have more knowledge about how bitcoin things works than some random legendary posting in bounties or altcoin board.

There is something quite unique about those newbie accounts, you will notice that those accounts who once in a while post in bitcoin technical support and development and technical discussions get merited by legendary because they know how valuable their contributions are in all those area and even with the merits earned, they don't increase their activity to increase their ranks, they are always fine with giving accurate replies to technical questions and mistakes users do post, they don't even value signature space and they are cool with. There are even users who go to the length of ignoring posts of signature participants.

The major set back of cold wallets is early awareness and lack of real custody education on what self custody is all about. I was more surprised that CZ was making fun of Celsius the other day when they refused to allow users gain access their bitcoin and other Altcoins and he was furiously making binance as an alternative for people who are victims. Well, I expected that from him, many people regards him as most trusted but an exchange will be the least place I will want to leave my bitcoin on, I will rather opt for a hot wallets instead of doing that kind of mistake, I know is silly knowing that a hot wallet could be compromised but it is more foolish doing for exchange.

Self custody save from many things, you sleep with ease knowing your bitcoin isn't on anyone care but you, you don't have to worry about security because you're your own security, you manage and spend anytime you like without anyone authorizing it and lastly you don't have to worry when there is exchange security bridge on media.
2248  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Need Advice on Purchasing Bitcoin (not financial advice) on: August 04, 2022, 02:48:46 PM
You will see why I said not financial advice in a moment. This is a "what would you do question." I have been a several year bitcoin purchaser, but I have a sister that I gently tried to orange peel in the past. She was interested and amazed at BTC, but feels that she cant afford to put even $5 a week aside. I had an extra hardware wallet and put $100 worth of BTC on the wallet and considered it hers. I have this idea planted in my head to gift her .01 BTC which makes her a satoshi millionaire and then leave the rest to her to add to it if she wants to. lol. She is a single mom with 2 children and a live in boyfriend.

Don't force people to buy bitcoin, she understands what bitcoin is all about but she is afraid, if she doesn't feel comfortable living her $5 in bitcoin, you shouldn't go to any length to make her do it by force. The fact that she is a single mother and not financially stable and lives with her boyfriend doesn't mean bitcoin will elevate her from that position either.

If you genuinely want to gift her a bitcoin, then do it for the purpose you have intended, gifts are surprises. I'm sure that she will be stunned when you handed her that hardware wallet that contains bitcoin, who knows this will give her more encouragement to start buying and add more sats to the one you wanted to gift her. Try it, it might be worth all your effort trying to convince her.
2249  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is crypto going up after the news of being in a recession? on: August 04, 2022, 01:26:31 PM
I know that the crypto market is dynamic but something seems off as I have observed lately. Ever since bitcoin has been making a lower low on daily and Weekly timeframe, no single good news has happened that is so strong to change the way of making to being bullish. I remember the early days of last year when the bull run started, it was good news every month back to back, and the market was so super high that there was no single negativity on the market but today, it is now the opposite. If they didn't steal money from a decentralized protocol, they will become insolvent, wallets hacked, tokens being swept from a pool and many more. I just felt that this is not normal, either it is deliberately done to scare small retailers or pure manipulation to tank the prices.
2250  Economy / Economics / Re: Social media, now looking more for business than for socializing. on: August 04, 2022, 01:13:00 PM
Do you think social media is now becoming more a place for business than socializing, Could it be as a result of digitalization and things moving online or more people now starting business online because of need to somehow generate income or another source of income for self to survive the economic situations which is becoming tougher?

What is social a platform without revenue? For how long do you think they are going to pay the employees, how do you think they are going to keep the server running, and how long do you think they can continue to fund the social platforms from their own pockets? There is a need for an alternative, is either the users pay for premium service to keep it running or they allow the company personalized as an advert to them which of course will break their privacy.

Recently, Netflix announced that they will not just subscriptions mandatory for their customers, they will also be running ads on it in other to generate more revenue for the company, though it backfires because a lot of customers lose interest and for that reason, their shares drop drastically.
2251  Economy / Economics / Re: Are we hodling BTC or we are hodling Fiat?? on: August 04, 2022, 11:37:54 AM
Been that Bitcoin is not backed by any centralized authority, community or asset, it is therefore wise first as a currency and not as a store of value; especially for salary earners in developing countries, low income earners and those who live on wages.
 Because to be profitable in BTC investment, one must be a high salary earner who invests with money that has no future need, with reasons that volatility will always be a key player as long as BTC exists.

This is so wrong, the perception and narrative of bitcoin are quite different from that of 2009 with today. Bitcoin is a store of value and that's one of the driving forces for micro strategies, the reason why they are in bitcoin now, that was why Tesla also came aboard and later sold because they needed fiats for some stability.
You don't have to be rich to invest in bitcoin, this is why they are in sats, you can purchase any amount you have without being a high salary earner.

Quote
In my opinion, BTC volatility is a powerful market wave that should keep investors in profit especially with DCA method. because if price is the major concern over the amount of BTC an investor is able to gather as prices keep fluctuating, it invariably means it is fiat he is holding and not BTC.
 It will only be regarded as BTC holding if every price wave adds to it.

Anyone can buy and sell bitcoin, it doesn't matter, it is a free market and that is why DCA is one of the best ways to keep stashing sats, it increases your portfolio and has the advantage of buying at different prices at the end of the day, your buy is always average and when you will enjoy it there is a price increase or bull run.
Keep holding or continue to add to your portfolio.
2252  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Educational: Breaking misconceptions about market crashs on: August 04, 2022, 11:18:17 AM
Shitcoins are a well-known substitute for people who are always searching for quick profits, they are purchased at low prices in anticipation of a short-term price pump or increase. When this occurs, the majority of them typically collapse or drop, and it takes the strength of the project's product to see the ATH price again, the hype also plays a role in making it to the previous high sometimes. When this crash happens, they do directly or indirectly affect bitcoin especially when there are millions and billions involved, this reminds me of LUNA.

Altcoins are not the only element that contributes to bear market periods, although they do most of the time. Traditional markets such as the SP500 and NASDAQ also have an impact on the movement of Bitcoin, not to mention inflation and recession.
2253  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Satoshi is not dead, what is he doing? on: August 02, 2022, 08:38:06 PM
After reading so many topics that discuss who satoshi could be and why he would leave bitcoin from one day to another it made me think: What is he doing these days? It is really unlikely that he never ever came back to the forum again, just to read and look at the progress. Also it seems likely that he had at least one alt account that may even be sill active.

I'm very sure that if Satoshi should resurface and prove that he is alive, a lot of things are going to happen which will not end well for everyone in the market, have you noticed that anytime an old wallet addresses that were last active in 10 years back spend a single bitcoin, traders began to speculate and sell or close their position because they fear that he(satoshi) will dump his bags on them to gain access to the liquidity.
Another reason why I think satoshi might want to remain anonymous could also be because the government will want him, they will want to hear a lot of answers, it is better things remain like this, not as if he did bitcoin alone, there has been lots of improvement since he was last seen online.
2254  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto in Church. on: August 02, 2022, 08:12:44 PM

If this is all about bitcoin, a more than a welcome idea, people will get to know bitcoin even if they don't have the means to buy it now, the awareness will expose people to know that there is an alternative to their fiat money and nobody can restrict them when they want to use it but my problem with this kind of gathering is that they wouldn't tell them the necessary things they need to hear. I will be more than happy if they will tell them how their privacy is preserved to at least a bearest minimum, but you may be disappointed that among them, someone is there that prefers a PIE shitcoin to bitcoin because of what they read online.
2255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Government Owned Online Casinos What Do You Think Of Its Potential on: August 02, 2022, 03:26:52 PM
People don't trust the government anymore. Isn't that why bitcoin was created in the first place? With everything going on in the world they'd prefer to visit a casino not owned by the government. I think the role of the government here should simply be that of regulating the gambling industry. Just like the Netherlands, Australia and the UK are already doing.

Macau is well-known to house many casinos and they are mostly physical houses where people play, this is one of their big revenue purses to fund the country and the ones they launched online arent bitcoin base casino, looking at how the government are anti-bitcoin, they wouldn't want to add bitcoin except the ones that aren't funded by the government.
I wouldn't advise anyone to even trust the government for once if they allow bitcoin to be used in their casino, but if they embrace it as legal tender, then why not, I will be happy to play with them. I will like to see a country like El Salvador do something like this but should be Bitcoin to allow more of its adoption.
2256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Gambling companies can get more users to deposit. on: August 02, 2022, 03:09:23 PM
Gambling sites with no promotion, giveaways, and any kind of bonuses are also having huge bankroll as per the stats so the priority on the list is the trust as I said but these bonus, events and others are just contributing for making the people to deposit more money than they actually planned to do.
Without any promotions, giveaways and bonuses, nothing will make people deposit any more money, making the casino lose its profit potential. Sometimes if the casino already has a good reputation, people will not see any promotions or bonuses because they have made the casino a comfortable place to play. In addition, people who are used to playing in that casino will remain loyal customers for the casino because they have not had a bad experience at that casino.

You guys aren't specific with the promotion duration and giveaways, there are some casinos that have done so many giveaways and promotions and have reached their peak with a good reputation and still have more customers that are checking in, they only do giveaways when there is an interesting event to drive people to play in their casino and not frequently, every promotion should have an effect on the purpose it is used for else they will also run on losses.
I feel the agitation for every Casino to make KYC-less will attract more customers, no player would want his money to be stuck because they can't or don't want to provide any documents, this move will help if it can really work.
2257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 02, 2022, 02:43:40 PM
that's what often happens when a good player moves to a new club there will be a lot of expectations placed on him and unfortunately with just a few appearances it is immediately concluded that he is a successful player at his new club or not, there are 38 league games and other competitions and that will be enough for Haaland to be able to develop if he is truly a star
Haaland still has a long way to go at Man City and it's not a bad start. It's true he needs to adapt and it will take a lot of time to adapt to Man City style of play. So not too worried when the perception of him playing well at his previous club. This is normal when at Dortmund at first it wasn't much different, right?
I believe Haaland will thrive under Pep Guardiola who could easily create the character of a Haaland at a new club.

I think a similar thing happen to most of the top players, we saw how emotional Messi was during his transfer from Barcelona to PSG, and Ronaldo's transfer from Juventus to Manchester United but they haven't done something significant like they used to in the past, the attention is fading away though the past performance is still helping them keep to the news and media without any of their league and Champions League. Messi was fair and Ronaldo was poor, I hope this change this time, I want this season to be spicier, more competitive and entertaining.
2258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos You're Playing That Are not On This Forum on: August 02, 2022, 02:19:36 PM
I have only tried physical sportsbooks shops and non-blockchain casinos that are well regulated, any other that is not here isn't enough to convince me to play with them.
If a player has been using any of them and haven't experienced any sort of cheating, that's fine but I will have more peace of mind if the casino I'm playing has an announcement thread in this forum so that when anything happens, I don't have to be running up and down to contact their support in social channels. One of the reasons why I will also like the thread here is that in case of any future accusation, also know how they are been resolved. This will give me more confidence that my balance is saved even when I don't like the idea of leaving funds in centralized environments.

The season is here again and I have decided to give Fortunejack some shot to get ready for the Leagues with their sportsbook but I'm not happy that my country is restricted. I have managed to use VPN to break that but I'm still facing some difficulty. My Mobile number has refused to verify, I'm not receiving the OTP to bypass verification, I don't know if it is my network provider but I have changed the Mobile Number with a different network provider and I'm yet to get the OTP. Are there any solution to this or is this a result of my country restriction?
Another question, will KYC be require in the future when I want to withdraw?
2260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it profitable to hedge/cashout bets before end of sport event? on: August 02, 2022, 09:01:13 AM
Personally, I rarely use the cashout option, but still, this option is sometimes useful. Situations in some sports events can be very dynamic and it is good to be able to cashout when, for example, in the last match on the coupon your team is not doing well. Sometimes it benefits the player, sometimes the bookmaker.

You wouldn't know how valuable a cashout option is until you have plenty of matches that are in order with one unknown outcomes yet to be played or in the process. Cashout is helpful when plenty of games you find difficult to predict goes as you planned only for the last match to be doing the opposite, you wouldn't have a choice than to cashout the predicted you already known. However, I don't like the downside of it because your winnings will be slash leaving you with a few bucks. I know it's a favour from Bookmakers for letting you have an option to cash out instead of waiting for the last game and getting disappointed but they should be fair and remove just the last odd and not take almost half of your win.
