The government wants to control bitcoin, but the decentralized nature of bitcoin has made it difficult for them to regulate it. A currency that represents a country is always under the control of the government, but bitcoin won’t subdue to them, there is no way for them to handle it. Bitcoin might just be an internet money that would be used by people who wants to make use of it for their day to day online transactions.

But, for representing every country around the world, I can’t tell you that is possible right now, I don’t deem it possible for now. Finding out what the future holds is quite a difficult thing to do, anything can still happen, so we are not sure.

Even the strategies have to be changed after a while. Some traders who did excellent earlier are suffering now because they failed to keep themselves updated to the market trends and behavior. So I agree with you that understanding the market trend and molding your strategies accordingly is among many other reasons for the loss.

Right it's basically the same thing, not being able to update yourself with time. I see people discussing whether the bull run will continue or stop and how much price we will reach but most of them make their prediction based on how the market reacted based on previous data. I understand that reading past data is important but the market changes every minute.

I would highly recommend the Exodus wallet. It's a wallet which also has an in-built exchange hence is very useful and doesn't charge very high fees for exchanges and they have desktop and mobile versions.

Any wallet that provides you the private keys is a trusted wallet and this is also the reason why centralized exchanges can never serve as good wallets. Blockchain(.)com's wallet is a good one but it does not accept too many coins.

Sometimes I use gambling sites as wallet for small amounts like if I have money in Bitsler I can send to stake and vice versa.

The server seed for each player is different. Also, there is a nonce, so basically if you use the same client and server seed, you will still get different results because the nonce increase with each bet.

Once you verify your bets (reveal the server seed) then the server seed is changed for you.

RTP is a very simple concept. The return expected to the player for each bet the player makes is called the RTP. A 95% RTP means on wagering 100 coins you shall get back 95 of them back. This doesn't mean you will always get back 95 though, because it depends on the volatility as well. So basically you might end up having 50 coins after wagering 100 while another user may get 150 so that evens out things.

I am a little surprised a legendary member is asking such simple questions. But I understand not everyone gambles or is aware of the provably fair mechanism.

I believe that there is a good chance we could see ATM lose of course, however in normal cases there is a good chance that they will lose in many cases, they won like only once a decade or so previously and they did it last season as well and in normal cases people would have expected them to actually lose a lot as well, that is what the normal situation would be like and that is why I believe that it is a big of a shock that they are still good and looking better than everyone else.

I believe that Real and Barcelona may not recover their team rosters all of this season because they lost so much and didn't get too much back. If we could see them get good names then we could see changes.

That is the biggest part that people are still not using and that is a bit of a problem. Like people still value getting a house and renting it to someone else as a better way to invest than crypto, a friend told me that his house he bought 2.5 years ago made 2x profit for him which is insane not every house does that but he literally did that because he bought a house that was already undervalued and now there is a metro station there which helped the prices, so he knowingly invested into that, his rent income nearly doubled meanwhile as well.

I told him bitcoin made about 10x during the same period and he should have invested into that, and he said "how could I know bitcoin would go up, it is a risk", as if owning a house is not a risk, lol. This is why people still do not put most of their money into bitcoin yet, just the ones they are willing to lose, the moment people start to see bitcoin as the main investment method, we will see millions of dollars for each bitcoin.

Selling the house to invest in cryptocurrencies might be one of the riskiest prospects I have heard in a long time. I am not sure if they were serious or not but such options don't end well.

You are right, these moves are actually desperate and although good for the crypto community, the person doing such things needs to actually calm down a bit and understand that it's not like BTC will be 1 million within a week. They have time to plan how to invest and alternatively, they can also earn crypto which means you get paid much higher for the same work.

For example: If you design a website and get paid $100 in crypto, and the price doubles in a year, you simply earned $200 for the same task.

When you are already the champions and the team roster didn't change too much, you do not really need to get better, or get used to things, first games are not a big deal for you because you are already just rolling the last season into a new one. But let's face it, even though Madrid and Barcelona lost last year, they also got a bit worse, Barcelona lost Messi and few others I think, and Madrid lost Ramos as the most important and their defense hasn't been proper, apparent from the 3 goals scored on them as well.

So long story short they both lost AND got worse, it wouldn't be a shock if ATM wins another season, I am not saying that is what will happen, it is football and we never know what will happen, hell they could get 3-4 injury all at the same time, not like it never happened to a team in football before, but they also have a good chance that is the important part.

I think the deal for 150 million + casemiro + mendy is not bad because of the players but because of the amount. I feel like if it was like 50 million + casemiro + mendy then Madrid would have accepted that in a second, which means that it is not about the players, but the fact that they will pay that much AND give two players.

I guess anything more than 100 million is a bad deal for them, they are going to get him next season anyway, why pay this much money to get him one season early? They probably already talked to Mbappe and they know if he wants to play for Madrid or not, and with all the talks about how him wanting to leave for Madrid even we know that he wants to go there. Which is why I honestly think that we are talking about some rudimentary thing here, why would real pay 150 million even without two more players, when they can wait for 1 more season.

There is no way even among my worst nightmares that I can imagine bitcoin dropping below $10k ever again. A few months ago when the price got dropped to half, I was still confident that overall the price won't go below $20k and it never went below that mark. I have a similar feeling that we might end up seeing bitcoin cross or at least touch the 100k mark within this year.

But hey don't take my advice too seriously because we all know, even the whales cannot accurately predict the movement and I am not even a fish in that regard.

Yeah, I agree with you guys that this is definitely experimenting on some stuff and if any coach can get the 100% out of any player that is definitely Greg Poppovich and we are going to see this team overachieve once again, people are expecting them to finish barely over 30 wins, and I am guessing that 37-38 wins will be possible with this team, which is weird because if you put this exact same team into like wolves or bulls or whatever they would be expected to tank and win like 20 games, but here we are talking about "will they break 50% or not" and I know it is a big push to assume they could get 40 wins or so, but I think it is also not impossible for them just because of Pop (probably will get like 30-35 wins like expected though).

However having this much room for growth does give me a lot of hope for our future, that is the main thing about this roster. The future looks so bright for them.

PSG is already going at 3 for 3 and that is not an easy task to handle, starting with 3 wins is always a sure fire way to show the world that you mean business, Mbappe is not going to put all year and hope to get on another team, everyone talked about how he wanted to leave to go to Madrid and that could still be very well true who knows but that doesn't change the fact that dude plays very well even though he wants to be on another team.

I do not know 100% guaranteed if he wants to leave or not, but at least we all know (at least for now) that he is not going to play with 99%, he is putting 100% on all games and that is the thing that matters the most, if you can get the maximum out of Mbappe for all season you are going to be successful, that kid is something special, probably one of the best we have seen in the world at around that age (maybe except one or two players).

This thread should belong to the Gambling section because you are essentially providing all the information about it.

By the way, I quickly checked your sportsbook, and I indeed like the odds on display there. Make no mistake guys, I haven't played there yet but the odds are better than most sportsbooks, even passing the likes of bet365 in that regard. I also like the private betting part but request you to probably move it to the gambling section so more players get to know about this.

It all depends on what multiplier Eddie manages to hit.

Small Multiplier means more players will achieve the goal and hence small piece of the cake for everyone.

Huge multiplier, I guess he hit something big on jammin jars, means that lesser people will share the prize pool and hence a few people enjoy the entire cake.

Personally, I would suggest it's not worth chasing those multipliers. It's more worth if you play a particular slot and see Eddie's bet on the same game, give it a try.

I don't think much will change. As a player at stake, I see they are continuing to stream as they did before. I am not sure just banning referral links is a huge thing because gambling streams are going on as usual. Maybe they can hammer the streamers who were faking their balance and wins.

Maybe it's time for someone from the crypto community to build a streaming platform fully focussed on crypto streamers and I believe it would be a huge success given the lack of one.

I was so anxious to try the game but when I started to learn about the game, I learned that we need a minimum of 3 Axie to even play the game. I thought like let's buy them but the cost for each Axie is hundreds of dollars and more which is beyond a free-to-play player like me lol.

I am not sure how exactly we can gamble on the game because they have their own marketplace to sell game items and it already works on the blockchain so not sure how exactly we can bet on it. Maybe because I haven't played the game yet, I am missing something about the game itself which can be bet on.

My favorite NBA player, Spurs will be a bit weird this year. Not that they will suck, it is the Spurs and we all know they will be mediocre even at the worst cases, last season was probably the worst year they had in the last 25 years or so. However the biggest salary in that team is 15.2 million with Dejounte Murray.

How many teams are out there with max salary at 15 million? I believe nearly every single team have their highest paid player at higher level, aside from that they also have a very good amount of cap space for the future as well if they want to, very short contracts with small amounts so it is easy to get out of them whenever they want to.

So, this season is a bit weird because I am not sure if they are trying to do something with the current core? Like Murray - White - Walker - Keldon - Poeltl is a damn good starting five if you ask me with the new additions of the past 2 seasons rookies and few other veterans that team looks fine, OR are they just trying to make a cap space to get some free agent stars in the following seasons? Not like we manage that easily, but that cap space wiggle room is certainly available for that if they can achieve it.

Yeah, taking a break certainly helps if you aren't getting desired results from trading.

I usually trade multiple coins and it's hard to say if I ever had a losing streak or consecutive losses because I face loss in some trades but bounce back nicely in other coins.

If you are only sticking to trading a single coin at a time, it's quite easy to count your streak from the trades history and determine.

Only four? I believe that we must need at least 100 such principles we need to learn and practice before start risking in crypto trading. Because, market volatility requires high precious approach to get sustaining profitable experiences.

Still, I agree one new trader does not require all the high level things at once but they must need to be open to learn anything new and required. Continuous learning is more vital thing is crypto space. We need to be proactive to analyse each and every step of trading so that we could handle market pressure more efferently toward profit making.

Like many people have explained here already, I am also confident about people for using CBDC right now must be the late adopter of bitcoin one day or other. We could expect them to be adopting bitcoin once they are realizing the difficulties of having centralized money against bitcoins. This must be one simple reason why I am always in favor about that all government cryptocurrencies are indirect promotion for adopting bitcoins.

If you go for studying history, only versatile things are sustaining along with human race and all others are getting outdated over the time by not coping up against the requirements of ever-changing demands of human race. This way, CBDC will get outdated very soon and people will adopt something which is ensuring their privacy and profits (which must be bitcoins as of now ).
