2261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker Probability on: November 30, 2020, 11:32:43 PM
Awesome post, love seeing the probabilities for each type of hand! Poker got really big here in the United States around 2003-4 time frame.  I was in college at the time and when I first learned how to play I was absolutely hooked.  We would play every night for months on end.  The only problem with sit down texas holdem is making sure you've got absolutely nothing to do for hours on end.  I would often just go all in when I wanted to go do something.  Other than that, it is easily my favorite gambling game hands down too.
Thank you for appreciation, have to admit that I am the same although it was around my senior hihschool year when I learn to fully play and it was the perfect game to play on dead hours of our classes, it really is time consuming and that is part of the reason that I haven't played awhile.

If you played poker in school it's not something you should be actually proud of. However, poker is game where you need certain skills and you are definitely forced to use your brains so it could be said that you've learned something from poker too.
I guess exactly because of fact that poker is skill game and players have the feeling of control makes it so popular.
I guess it is not totally a skill-based game. I am not into this game but to how I view this game is a combination of luck and strategies wherein a player will try to bluff their opponents in order to assume what cards they are holding. But I guess not all players would be focusing on the probability of cards to show, because it will require full attention or awareness of the cards being drawn. And I doubt all players will do so especially if the bet is not that big unless a gambler is only aiming for the experience not into profit solely.
2262  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bangladesh going to accept Cryptocurrency??? on: November 30, 2020, 11:10:08 PM
Hard to visualize at this moment. It is not a hidden thing that Bangladesh has corrupted government officials and also, cryptocurrencies are banned in this country which makes sense in a way that cryptocurrencies are mostly decentralized giving a government no power at all to impose taxation. Thus, this won't benefit the government on not being able to "milk" their people on every transaction (silly!). But I am not saying there's no chance at all but rather, I vew this as a reason to why this technology is not yet accepted in this area. Maybe things will be adopted once officials are back to their "duties".
2263  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin hitting ATH right now? on: November 30, 2020, 10:34:39 PM
Bitcoin Monthly close is too close. Just a few hours away to close this month. If Bitcoin keeps bullishness we may break the new ATH and create another new ATH. We can also break the 20000$ level. I am too excited. I am also excited to see the dump also. Because many investors will try to book profit.
Quite honestly that is what worries me the most, what will happen now that we have finally reached the goal that took us three years to reach? Will the price of bitcoin keep going up as people get excited about the fact that bitcoin finally surpassed its ATH or this is going to be the beginning of the end for this trend and people will begin to sell their coins thinking a  crash is coming and this will create a massive decrease in the price similar to what we saw in 2017.
There's indeed a possibility for some investors to do so because of fear from what happened before. But I guess there's no need yet to do so especially if there's still a momentum in its market value which could yield to higher market value and profit. Once things stabilises, that would be the time where actions has to be made in my opinion because we have never seen a market value higher than ATH, which gives us no idea or assurance to how high will its market price could be. Ofcourse if you can afford holding no matter what happen next, that would be better.
2264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think about this service ? on: November 30, 2020, 09:44:20 PM
Probably won't trust this.
It is just weird that a stranger will message you in a sudden offering a service you do not demanded in the first place. Although you won't give payment prior to 'pilot testing' of what he offered, knowing that he is demanding something could be a bit of a problem. Not to be a paranoid about this, but being preventive is better. Also, as to how I view gambling, it depends to one's luck and strategies in any form won't really work in order to come up with the win. But you are free to take his offer of you are really wanting to win in that site since conditions are somewhat fair.
2265  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on Open ending events? Should casinos continue offering them? on: November 30, 2020, 02:30:14 PM
I was wondering if after the "Trump vs Biden" US election fiasco... if casinos should still be offering bets on events like that?


Whether to continue offering bets in any event or not, depends on the gamblers and the casinos or gambling site in the first place. For sure this is not the first time, and that is enough I think to explain that those who bet are aware of the delays. Anything could be means of gambling tool as long as there's a bet. So we really cannot prohibit such kind of "game" because there's no valid reason to do so, and we do have freedom in this industry. As long as there are people who are betting on events of such, this will continue because gambling companies would make use of this opportunity. And when it comes to convenience and inconvenience, that is for the gambling casino and player to work with.
2266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Gamblers! What is your excuse to avoid a game with 0% House Edge? on: November 30, 2020, 01:52:04 PM
There are other gambling game which has 0 house edge such as Blackjack. It is a good idea that may encourage other gamblers to play because it would somewhat give them an idea that the chances of winning is higher, but reality is not since it will still depend on one's luck if I'm not mistaken.

What would be an excuse to not engage into such game wherein there's 0% House edge? Well, I think it is the kind of game being offered. No matter what game it is, if the players are not into such kind of game, things would be the same. In my case I would still choose other gambling games such as roulette with house edge than this, not to be in contrast of the idea, but simply because that's my preference. There are just players who are more into enjoyment than huge winnings.
2267  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin anonymous? on: November 29, 2020, 09:48:16 PM
Bitcoin is not anonymous like other cryptocurrencies since our wallet balances could be seen by anyone because it is stored in a public network, but the owner of a certain address is anonymous unless he is going to buy something that could be the reason of his identity to be revealed, that's why protecting your privacy using Bitcoin will depends on you.

But things could be sown
Having a transparent blockchain does not necessarily go against anonymity. What now if a certain address' balance can be viewed publicly? Does it mean the identity of the owner is revealed? Not necessarily. The public network does not attach personal identity to public addresses. Even buying something with your wallet does not necessarily compromise your identity.
Details are simply limited if you would look at wallet conditions ad prod hwabmomenr details which are open to public. So it may display anonymous details about the  investor or user of this technology. As longs as KYC process won't be a requirement, things would still be private expect for one's wallet address perhaps in this case. We'll exchanges requiring the user to do so, is  another part of the story. When it comes to its general acknowledgement, Bitcoin is recognized the most in this industry but for sure identities of their investors will always be on top of other requirements.

C'mon, sell everything.

LOL



This is the best meme or symbol for those hate Bitcoin, they used to be so many but now they are dwindling, I see their group getting lesser and lesser over the years until we don't hear from them, or they will become a part of the community, just like what PayPal, if you can't beat them join them. 
There is indeed a possibility but the slightest I think knowing how huge the market price already is. Its market value have developed that much and is far from its market price upon the release in this market. With that being said, knowing that its market price is not falling that much, I think it would be close to impossible for its market value to be close to zero or to be worthless someday. It have established wide range of users in this industry and as long as there are people supporting this technology, demand will always exist and it will always be reflected in its market price.
2269  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People still don't know about Bitcoin on: November 29, 2020, 05:09:27 PM
There are many people who still don't know about bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. I don't know about others I am talking about my country and about my society. Whenever I ask from people about or talk about the Bitcoin. They ask what is this?

How much there is who face this problem?
Maybe that is due to the prohibition in your country, and probably there is. Bitcoin is having wide popularity at this moment because of the impression created from it wherein profit is assumed to be easily earned due to the increase in its market price. Little do they know that the market price is not consistently increasing and there are times of market price downfall resulting to partial profit loss. These assumptions are simply what making this technology popular so if it is not having influence in your country there might be factors affecting the spread of its popularity or influence, more likely prohibitions.
2270  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Gam m with Signature Campaigns in Forum on: November 29, 2020, 04:32:13 PM
Not a new thing in my opinion. Eversince I started doing bounty campaigns there were already many gambling projects of such circulating in this forum and I have participated to some because most of those campaigns are having wide popularity making the campaign period most of the times, successful. There was also a time wherein I preferred join projects under this category because chances are high that campaigns of such are succeeding with their sale period, giving assurance to the rewards. Nowadays, I do still view such campaigns in the same way because projects under gambling category is continuous.
2271  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In my school, Bitcoin is now becoming a subject on: November 29, 2020, 03:47:21 PM
Probably in line with economics, right? I am actually open with the idea of a revolutionary currency wherein it is a form of investment and a digital currency at the same time which I think is something not in line with the norm. Spreading knowledge regarding this technology would be a huge help since there is a rapid increase with companies making it a requirement for an individual to be knowledgeable with trading.
Quite outdated but recent articles support the claim on the link below:

https://www.glassdoor.com/research/rise-in-bitcoin-jobs/

But I guess this won't be necessary to all professions so pushing further won't be a mandatory.
2272  Economy / Economics / Re: 2021 not Looking good on: November 29, 2020, 02:47:09 PM
How did you know? This year still has a month left and things are still having chances in particular with recovery, so what more with another year as an interval for recovery to occur. The problem is lack of assurance and certainty. This simply implies that we cannot conclude whether the market price will be increasing or not on the following months or years. The only thing we can do is to just wait for things to be in reality. Things do happen in an unpredictable manner and speculations won't really do something about natural market volatility.
2273  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin at risk of regulation? on: November 29, 2020, 02:21:39 PM
Probably that's the only way in order for this technology to achieve acceptance across the globe. Not all people are aware of the nature of this technology and one way to push this towards more people is to boost its reliability through government regulation. But I doubt it would be a total regulation. My idea to this is an optional regulation not a mandatory regulation. And this will be made possible through third party networks which will be an alternative to crypto exchanges, for those who are just knowing only the "surface" idea of this technology.
2274  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin bullrun and correction period on: November 28, 2020, 11:07:06 PM
I see that the fall in prices in the market has stopped.  For the third day in a row, Bitcoin is at over $ 17,000, and ethereum is at over $ 500.  Holders of the cryptocurrency are in no hurry to sell it, so far those who could not stand their nerves and who urgently needed money did it.  It seems that the price correction will not last long and the bullish run may continue in early December.

Nah, too soon to tell. It's the weekend and yes, we're almost back above $17k for 12 hours now but we haven't put behind volatility in the past 24 hours. Also, the bulls and bears do love a Sunday, so they could just be prepping up some targets for intense selling pressure below $17k. The wall already crumbled several times there, only natural they'll want to go a notch lower.
The problem is lack of assurance to whether this is just a bear trap or the actual price correction lready but bottomline is that, the market would only go between these two. So what matters the most at this moment is to how will investors make an action regarding the situation. Will they continue holding? or will they assure the profit as early as it is? The answer would be depending on how the investor will view the situation. But I'd also prefer a lower market price in order to invest for some few amounts of it and to wait for another price increase on the latter.
2275  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Crypto Tax Implementation on: November 28, 2020, 10:37:15 PM
Tax is inevitable! However, if a government wants to impose tax on crypto, they they will have to create a legal definition for bitcoin. Which is good because it will give legal support to bitcoin holders within that country.

Right now, only a handful of countries have a legal definition of bitcoin. So if other countries too join the bandwagon, it will be great in terms of adoption. Many merchants are there who are willing to accept crypto as a payment method. It will only become a reality once bitcoin gets a legal definition.

I know a lot of people thinks, tax is a bad thing. But that's an individual choice! If we really want to crypto in our daily life, legality and tax are the most important parameters we should look for!

Many governments have desperately tried to stop the rise of Cryptocurrency, but they have miserably failed as the cryptocurrency has been gaining grounds day by day. Now, seeing no other alternative, they are trying to cash on Crypto by imposing taxes. I believe instead of creating hurdles if they take tax and legalize crypto, then it will be good for all.
I think Governments did not try to stop the rise of cryptos but rather imposed prohibitions on its usage alone to some areas Taxation will only occur in this industry through regulation but to how will they do such thing if most of the cryptos are decentralized? To how I view this at this moment, this would only be possible through the use of third party networks more likely in forms of exchanges. And that's what we are seeing right now. The question is, when will this technology be used in normal or daily transactions if most of its users are making use of this technology as means of investment and not merely as a currency?
2276  Economy / Speculation / Re: ATH will be in 2021! on: November 28, 2020, 06:31:43 PM
There is a chance that it could happen before this year ends but to be more precise if the market would continue to go up we could see it happen in 2021,
The price has fall down to $17K from $19K and it has been steady for a day or 2 now we are still waiting for it's next move.
This is also what I have observe in the market once the current price will shows a progress there is a high possibilities to reach an all time high this year. If it will continue to declined the opposite will happen. The market is unpredictable yet I’m also positive if not this year,  all time high could be attained by the year 2021.
The same possibility with next year if that's the case. 'coz if the market will not be able to reach another ATH this year, we won' t be sure that next year will be having a higher chance to do so since there's no consistency with this market. Indeed, we may still hold for that idea this year because this year is not yet over and with that being said, they're still "fire" for our hopes. We've witnessed how close the market price was from its ATH and it just fell short before the correction occur. And now, many investors are selling their holdings already. But I'd probably hold than to sell at this moment, because that I think will generate bigger profit in the future.
2277  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will the government accept it? on: November 28, 2020, 05:08:48 PM


For me, there should be banks and also there should be cryptocurrency, we store a part of our wealth in banks and then store the rest in cryptocurrency, that’s perfect for me, I can’t be relying on one.

Indeed. Third party institutions won't exist for no reason and those reasons probably includes benefit to the people. To how I see other replies being against on the concept of Banking, is biased. Banking promotes security over one's wealth including benefits of convenience. Just think of it, storing your salary into something which involves risk of losing money because of volatility, if we would base in the characteristics of crypto. Convenience won't cover the aspect involving risk of loss, right? And if the price of cryptos would be stable at some point, will it still be admired if other digital currencies are still offering the same benefit? Let's accept the fact that people are now into cryptos not because of transaction advantages but profitable concerns.
2278  Economy / Economics / Re: Different online business we can involve in on: November 28, 2020, 04:37:22 PM
I can say I am in the category of Virtual Assistant now. But it's vast so there are different services in that category.

What catches my eye though is the blogging thing or "vlogging" which might be easier since you just need a camera and some editing skills.
You just need to pick where you are good at if it is in written or video content.
I can see a lot of friends now monetizing all their tutorial videos on a known streaming website.
But, I am still having trouble with what the content will be about.
It should be something you are good at.
Vlogging I think, is not an easy thing to do. You need that confidence and a creative mind to do so, sometimes these things are not enough. As I have observed on the previous years to where blogging became more on mainstream, those who are being recognized either have that "face" or materials/ equipments that would make their contents better. The competition also became bigger making it more difficult for small time vloggers. More often, those who already have the popularity are those who are succeeding in this field.
2279  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins price pump influence bitcoin price Negatively ? on: November 28, 2020, 03:33:30 PM
All I know is that there's no correlation between the market prices of Bitcoin and other cryptos. Price is simply dependent to the demand, supply, and volume of a particular coin, perhaps in this industry. Just observe how the prices are moving whenever the price of Bitcoin is rising; some coins are as well having price increase and some are not. In some cases when the price of alts are increasing, there are times wherein the price of Bitcoin is falling and sometimes neutral. Thus, the correlation is already broken. Therefore, linkages are not existing between cryptos.
2280  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin in Freefall, What to Do? on: November 28, 2020, 02:38:43 PM
Currently we are going through bitcoin price correction not a freefall. So there is nothing to worry about a huge price drop now. If you don't need money urgently just hold your investment for few more months. Bitcoin price will have another big run after this correction. I believe that bitcoin price will be more high in future. That's why I like to hold.
Actually we are not certain whether this is just a correction or a price fall already because no one knows if the market price will recover eventually or the downfall will be continuous for the following days or months. With that being said, the decision is in your hands whether to hold-still or to sell already in order to save your investments. It depends on your market analysis since no one knows what will happen next. If you'll choose to hold, patience is a must because it is impossible to determine when will the price recover. And if you will sell at this point, avoid having regrets once recovery occur in a sudden.
