2321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will Cassino Continue With Wagering Requirements, If Abuse is Eliminated? on: January 08, 2023, 08:36:15 AM

Wagering requirements serve a number of purposes for the operators. They make sure users are actually playing games and have deposited and bet a certain amount and that users didn't just take advantage of the bonuses and promos. It becomes a standard part of casino operators already as a sort of protecting thier interest.

This video about the Silent Bitcoin Revolution of Africa says what's with Africa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5AvBsxRMYk

It must be the reality of teens there where their money is taken by thier family members because they were using cash all the time but when BTC came, it all changed. I think the developers in the region can make its adoption up to its fullest since grocery stores are already accepting.
2323  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Are Players Going To Trust Casinos If They Don't Show Solid Evidence on: January 08, 2023, 03:58:51 AM
For users who have had negative experiences in the past, it can be hard to trust online casinos, and then online users read those experiences also.
There are a few to consider like checking if the casino is licensed and regulated as well by authority.
Read some comments about the casinos also somehow you can find out where the crypto community finds the casino reputable.

In here, you already know they are not trustworthy when they don't respond to accusations.

To be honest, I don't feel like it's very good at creating interesting, new topics. However, it can answer questions pretty well. Although sometimes it gets details wrong, which are often the most important part, especially in the technical section.

So, I guess it could be a threat, if people start using it to reply to questions without fact-checking the reply, and the content quality on the technical board starts to drop and get cluttered with misinformation. On the other hand, the merit system and simply users' reputation should regulate this sufficiently (e.g. red tags for misinformation or getting put on ignore).

I guess if users are knowledgeable about a topic, but lazy to write a reply, it could be handy to use ChatGPT to generate a reply and quickly read and fact-check it.

That's what they might just do though. The AI seems to have answered differently when I asked the same question asked by users here. When I asked it twice, it answered the same starting with.

As I mentioned before, ...

I just tried OpenAI yesterday. It was very impressive still. It could write an article to answer just one question as long as you specify it in your question.
2325  Economy / Gambling / Re: Recommendations for Real Cryptocurrency Casinos on: January 07, 2023, 06:22:10 PM
Hello everyone,

I am looking for a list of real cryptocurrency casinos. (My search through the forum posts from the last couple of years didn't yield any results for such a list.) By "real" crypto casinos, I mean online casinos that operate exclusively using bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies), rather than just allowing players to make deposits and withdrawals using cryptocurrencies. Does anyone have any recommendations or know of any good ones to check out?

I have a few that I play regularly that I don't want to mention here, but I'm always on the lookout for new options that are worth exploring. Unfortunately, it seems like most casinos require registration before you can take a look around inside.

Thanks in advance for your help!

note:
* Just because this topic isn't self-moderated doesn't mean you can spam here. Keep it clean and on topic, folks! Screenshots and other useful info are always appreciated. But beware, posts that wander off topic or just repeat what's already been said will be flagged for the moderators' attention.
What do you mean by online crypto casinos that can be directly connected to crypto wallets like wallets without having to make deposits and save your money in the casino wallet first.
If that's what you mean, I don't think any online casino can directly link to a separate crypto wallet nor have I ever come across one like that.
Of all the online casinos that I know of and have encountered, all must register for an account and make a deposit first if you want to play and bet in it.
However, if there is a casino like that, will you trust and believe that the security of the crypto assets in your wallet will be safe and protected from theft or hacking?

There are dapps casinos like what he means but they are not for BTC, they use altcoins either on ETH or TRON which users can use a browser extension wallet to bet. This had been asked before and I think because as a BTC user, I also don't want to deposit from my BTC wallet.

Here are few:
betswap.gg which is in beta.
degens.com maybe you have heard of this also

2326  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is there anyone who enjoyed playing table soccer on: January 07, 2023, 03:52:43 PM
They are often in the pub that we visit anywhere but happy teen life when mostly drunk already I play this game. I didn't even see this suppose to be a soccer game.  Grin  Much like an arcade to me. Does anyone gamble among friends with this game? I saw my college schoolmate fight over a game, never took it seriously but they end up not being friends anymore after the fight.

I don't see this going to be anything like a casino game. But someone must have it in mind to develop it as software.
2327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Deontay Wilder versus Andy Ruiz Title Eliminator on: January 07, 2023, 07:57:48 AM

Ruiz sometimes will surprise the audience with his fast KO punch. He made it not just once so it's possible. Although out of shape, he does wilder swings that KOed hitters. The last 3 fights of Ruiz are not as impressive however I'd say 50/50, his fight with Ortiz was a UD. Wilder was given the shot against Fury because there is anticipation. He easily beat Helenius in the first round.
2328  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to get a hardware wallet in a bitcoin banned country? on: January 07, 2023, 07:17:14 AM

You are in a difficult situation and if I'd put myself in this situation, I would rather not buy a hardware wallet but just install a Bitcoin wallet on your computer and store coins there. I wouldn't try ordering from outside will be risky.

I'm surprised though that Binance and Kucoin allowed you to have an account. I'm assuming you use VPN?


2329  Economy / Speculation / Re: Each time you see a red candle! on: January 07, 2023, 06:07:24 AM

The worst state of any investor is to be at long term loss. It comes with so much anxiety, anger, Fuddity, pressure, spoiled plans and many more ill happenings. But I see it as a time to abandon the old investment and focus on taking advantage of the bear moment seeking for new opportunities because as far as Bitcoin is concern there are new opportunities in every cycle. The beauty of an investment is in its quantity because with much quantity comes so much value.

One of the biggest issues Bitcoin buyers face is that they use money meant to solve an urgent need to invest and end up selling at a loss to meet up with the need. Investment is best done with funds that don't have used in the nearest future, I prefer to call it errand money and because it is an errand money it is not meant to return immediately so errand takes longer time before they get delivered. The beauty of Bitcoin is long term investment. Hodl until it turns green. If it is not green, it isn't ripe for harvest. Each time a red candle appears, it is a signal to look out for buying opportunities.

Money meant for something else is to be set aside for that purpose not to invest it. People do this because they are hopeful, they could get ROI in the time they would need to spend already. Unfortunately, profit doesn't come easily.

Short-term investors do this as they think its an easy money. Short-term investing is also good as long as they have it in mind to buy at the bottom and even just earn $50 they can sell as long as they could keep making a profit.
2330  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin What is the probability of 60 K+ again? on: January 07, 2023, 04:38:24 AM

We might have some upside year this 2023 and maybe BTC will touch 30k, that's a possibility after all the first brutal year of the bear market is over. This will be a good year hopefully we'll beat the inflation as just this week alone the price went up.

Though there are still bad news coming up like exchanges warning users to withdraw coins and people saying they are insolvent. Don't always believe about panicking and dumping because the whales are accumulating.

2331  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: First Exchange to Bite the Dust in 2023, Juno on: January 06, 2023, 07:03:47 PM

Juno isn't a well-known exchange though and they were just warning thier users to withdraw which is kind of good at least while they are having troubles with partners like Wyre. CEX today is decent enough to not just shut down abruptly and leave a hacking explanation. They said they will resume after they solve the issue besides the money involved is just $1.25 million according to the contelegraph.
2332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: January 06, 2023, 06:26:40 PM
Well, uncle Dana White doesn't want to slap a fighter that may retaliate so he is using his wife as a substitute, well he is a well-known person who needs to learn to control his temper just one piece of negative news about the UFC will surely suffer from that consequence
Let's be honest and say that his wife gave the first slap attack and after that he replied with his slaps, but something stinks in this whole story, and we don't know what Dana told her before slap.
Much more people are now aware of his Power Slap competition, after someone conveniently recorded that video in night club.

The worse way to promote the Power Slap competition but yep it did the job. It could be done easier though since UFC is already popular.  

Can't say also it's just Dana's fault, the wife must have reasons to react that way and Dana just hit back as he is also intoxicated. They knew each other since they were young, I say this is probably not the first time they hit each other. Despite how rich the family is, it isn't always perfect.
2333  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do people store their cryptocurrency on exchanges? on: January 06, 2023, 08:14:54 AM

So much trust in CEX. Binance was once hacked and they refunded the affected users.
Majority I suppose are traders that's why coins are on exchanges. It's easy to buy and sell when it's all there in the exchange while that market fluctuates, you wouldn't go to go deposit and withdraw every time the market shifts. I do this but for a few coins only, Binance has a mobile app, easy to access. If you are to keep your coins for a long term, a hardware wallet would be fine.

2334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: January 06, 2023, 08:02:56 AM

And each one says things to himself in his own way:

Hector Garcia says he’ll beat Tank Davis by being “smarter fighter”


That has not to be told, it's already given, I mean you need to be smart in order to win the fight. This isn't his first fight, I'm pretty sure he is using his intelligence everytime he stepped up in the ring. The question here, what if Tank Davis is still smarter than him, then how can he beat Davis?

And if Hector beats Davis then Hector is smarter.  Cheesy
Both of them are just a punch away from losing but the probability of Hector losing the game is much higher since we already know their boxing skills.
Also this is just a preparation for Davis fight against Ryan, consider this training for Davis and Hector is there to act as an inflated bag for punching.
 
2335  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it advisable to memorize seed phrase? on: January 06, 2023, 06:52:52 AM
A deposit box is a usual place where robbers or anyone who wants to look at if they wanna take something from you. Any dumbass criminal will find your seed if you keep it there. What you need is to write it somewhere not obvious like a laminated menu sheet in the kitchen or something like that.

Memorizing of course is advisable, you can go anywhere without it. But you know when you grow old, it's the brain cells that are the first to deteriorate.
2336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gervonta Davis VS Hector Luis Garcia SAT, JAN 07, 2023 on: January 06, 2023, 05:11:17 AM
Everyone is talking about Tank Davis, however, it appears that much of us fans of boxing in the forum did not notice a very important fight for the IBF welterweight division. This is Boots Ennis vs. Karen Chukhadzhyan for the IBF interim welterweight championship.

Why the interim welterweight championship for IBF? This is because Errol Spence cannot make a mandatory defense for his IBF championship because he has another mandatory defense for his WBC championship. The IBF is also very strict and force Errol Spence to make his next mandatory defense against Boots Ennis or give the championship to Ennis.

I am very excited for this because I have told everyone many times that Boots Ennis is the boxer who can win against the kings of welterweight, Spence and Crawford.

In any case, my prediction is Boots will knockout Karen in round 1.

That's what they say, Boots is feared by many in the division. High risk for Karen. Boots stepping up against Spence or Crawford will be a bigger fight, but he can't be that comfortable at 147 against the top contender may at 154. There is just no offer for money to make but I think he'll get there after Ortiz.

This is not the highlight because Tank is the main event. Too late to create a thread.
2337  Economy / Economics / Re: If your passive income beats inflation rate, deposit might be a better choice. on: January 06, 2023, 04:21:37 AM

"you deposit your money to a bank and then you pay them to keep the cash?"

I don't know where I've read that statement but it was sensible when they asked that. But I agree when they say, you better just invest your money somewhere than have an interest of 3% / year. There is a reason why people nowadays don't trust banks also, especially when you can't withdraw them in one transaction.
2338  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Digital dollar a threat to Bitcoin ? on: January 05, 2023, 04:27:09 PM

The Chinese CBDC wasn't very successful at all. We know China has an authoritarian government that will force its people to use government platforms but it seems not very effective for the Chinese since they are still using the Wechat and etc. There were reports that the Chinese are not using CBDC anymore.

In Nigeria as well, it's also not working, and its due to the adoption of BTC in the country. There could be any different result in any other place or country.
2339  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ukrainian pharmacy chain introduces cryptocurrency payments on: January 05, 2023, 03:57:24 PM

Ukraine is not as well known to have tons of crypto users so why is Ukraine pharms trying to adopt Binance Pay? And they are not actually accepting crypto but fiat if they use Binance Pay.

They are helping Binance to make it a global monopoly. CZ is not a very clever person also, he sure would be keeping the KYC very tight with Binance Pay.
2340  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 05, 2023, 02:45:25 PM
If intentionally done and the wild social media attacks take place it will mean of their job, I see your point about that and maybe refs are already aware though we can't tell if they can take that risk, most probably if the money that is being offer is really enticing and can't be ignored, those refs can take it and deal with it.

Even they are risking their job, they are willing to take that to have an instant bulk of money in their paycheck.

With the nature of their job, I think they won't hesitate to take the offer behind the curtain as long as they see some advantage for them the offer. That's why even the Refs are paid to let the other fighter win, we cannot really see how they perform their tricks but we are certain it's there, especially when the fights are close and they find a way to give the other fighter an advantage like for example letting him hit his opponents in the back head which truly has huge damage if constantly done.

I think referee could be as corrupt as the organizations themselves, we have seen some bad calls to the point that it's clear to us that they are biased. Speaking of referee, what do you think of using reply in boxing?

In any case, it's really hard to really have a perfect fight without the referee and the judges messing it up, specially great fights like the Akaho vs Franco recently wherein it was really controversial scoring.

That has become a norm in boxing, don't expect too much, just enjoy the fight, and always believe that sometimes decisions of the refs are not in our favor. Even since in the past, there were allegations already that sports are corrupt, maybe because people are also betting that's why they fix the game to give the bookies huge money, or worst if the fighters themselves would try to sell the fight.

You see no reason for referees using a headset inside the ring but when they do, that is something to really wonder why. There were just hypotheses about referees getting instructions from the top where they could just raise the hand of a fighter that obviously fated to win even before the fight started.

If the money is worth I guess they can be morally negotiated if that is the right term.
