Congrats on trying that out. It's believed that in Nigeria there is a high rate of BTC adoption so it's still good.

I wonder why you only have decided by this year end when you could have done it a few years ago. Every woman has a male benefactor either thier father or a boyfriend willing to spend top dollar for the beauty of thier girl. Who knows women have thier BTC wallet installed on thier phones already.

It's CZ's memo. He may have intentionally leaked it for all to reassure them they are fine and he also said they have seen it before. He knows they have been attacked several times so yep it's been planned by CZ. Even in the interviews, he reassures the public that they can withstand the fud.

Hew is obliged to because people will panic more if they just beg for people not to withdraw.

Quote from: fennic
I will buy Bitcoin and other crypto if it came to the 14k level cause I think that at time it should be pumped hard and almost cross 20k dollars in coming weeks.

I think, this is the best time to buy and hold Bitcoin because the price will not decrease to $14,000 before it will start pumping in a way investors and traders will prepare to receive something good from their long investment. If you can embrace this season to buy Bitcoin and hold, it will really help you to achieve passive income in your investment because it will be difficult for the price to decrease more than the current price. The price will definitely improve higher before the end of this month, because the price is still moving between $16,000 and $17,000 which is a sign that investors will soon experience bullish market.

It is difficult to confirm that bitcoin will not fall anymore, the possibility that bitcoin will continue to fall is there because, with the negative information spreading in the market, it is likely that we will soon receive a new drop in bitcoin. However, you are right. Don't wait and now is the best time to buy as we may not have reached the bottom yet, but we are very close to doing so, so we buy now will not lead to any loss what big.

Today is the last day of the year, and there are no surprises as you would expect, and I also suspect that we will unlikely see a price increase in the first days of the new year.

After all, every bear market's bottom price is always better than the last bear market. That's always a good reason to buy and hold.

The price may drop down to 14K just as others have been saying actually. They may relate the price crash again to the economy and stock market collapse. Although its sad to see BTC still didn't decouple from traditional finance, I'm still up to seeing the long-term RSI indicator to be a good buy even on $16500.
2384  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia on: December 31, 2022, 10:57:18 AM
Most likely this will affect his reputation as a boxer, and even the upcoming fights that are in line with him. If not cancelled, since the audience are undeniably waiting for the match to happen, I guess Tank Davis will also face negative criticisms after the fight. But I don’t think his preparation for the match and his performance in the ring will also be affected as he will always be an outstanding boxer regardless of his current issues.
The case has been resolved and Gervonta Davis already free, but his reputation might ruined. It's better for him to quit social medias since he might get a lot criticism including when he's in outside and meet people who knew this case. Even he's professional and know to not taking it as a personal, but I believe it's still affect his mental even though just a tiny portion. He should fight with Garcia, otherwise his name might fall.

I couldn't remove the idea that there is a coordinated attack on Davis. Things are just too coincidental. Family trouble will always affect personal life and maybe he would blame himself for what happened.

After bailing an article came out from his accuser claiming he did not harm her nor his daughter. But both parties might just have an agreement, probably on money I guess which is usually the case. If there is a chance for Hector Vs Tank, it's not yet announced.

Gambling for fun is simply just betting on something you like doing or watching. But whether you gamble for fun or not, it's only ourselves who knows it.
It only feels like you are fooling yourself by betting on sports you don't like but cheering for the team you put your money on. Its probably a gambler's idea of fun but for some people, the idea of fun is just partying and drinking and catching up with friends.

 

2386  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The reason Dogecoin could fail in the future on: December 30, 2022, 04:54:35 AM
I think Dogecoin is a very strong project and the main point is that a Alon musk support of this project so they show that it will be a successful project in future.
According to my experience is that one the market situation is good so the project definitely achieve their goals.

Even if Elon wouldn't support it, Doge will rise. Doge hash rate is even rising more and more because more people are getting into it than investments they can't afford. It's one of the most googled coins.

The success of Doge can be compared to the success of LTC. Although they may not really rise high like thousands in just a decade like BTC, they are going the long game.
2387  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do we manage our crypto trading strategy on: December 30, 2022, 04:38:34 AM
The most popular strategy in the community is to buy cryptocurrency when the price is low in the market, and hold to watch when the price will increase higher before you can release what you are holding at the moment to achieve something special from the market. Personal research is another strategy many traders used to overcome losses, and embrace profits in the future because the moment you Carry out your personal research before investing on a particular coin, it will be difficult for you to experience failure than to achieve success at the end of the market.

This strategy never makes one lose which can not be obsolete like OP is saying. If he is trading constantly either in the spot or futures, that might not work well because this bear market is well affected by many outside factors like the government trying to fight inflation, war, and CBDC replacement for the cash.

Some say this recession is not just causing this bear market to extend up to 2024. Trading strategies will not work well if the market is very much manipulated.
2388  Economy / Economics / Re: Passive Income? New Start-Up Would Pay you to Share Personal Data on: December 30, 2022, 04:26:39 AM
We all are sharing our data anyway! Google and Facebook knows it all! They have built billion dollar enterprises based on our data. For example, If you have ever used Facebook advertisement, you will be amazed to see the depth of targetting you can do. That's all based on our data which we are giving away for free of cost. So if we can make some extra bucks out of our data, why not! Especially when we are not involved with any illegal activities, there's no risk as well.

That's true. It's why you should just monetize it as well. The negative side however is yet to come.

This revenue sharing from the app they make is not a new idea anymore there had been many crypto projects attempting like with thier browsers like Brave Browser (BAT). Besides collecting your browsing and buying habits, they also ask for KYC like it's not enough. Sooner these guys may ask for thier Security ID.
2389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 Oscar Awards betting and discussions on: December 30, 2022, 04:15:35 AM
But the film was a box office disappointment, and despite a budget of close to $40 million it could only gross around $10 million. Now I want to see whether the jury has courage to select a film, that has been rejected by the audience.
I don't think that box office success is high on the Academy priority list when choosing winner for the best picture award. Its more about lobbying than anything else tbh, and every once in a while the best movie in selection gets the award.

If you conduct a public poll between The Fabelmans and Avatar: The Way of Water, then 99% of the people are going to chose the latter option. But then the opinions of Oscar jury is so different from that of the ordinary people. They won't even consider a film such as Avatar for any of their awards (despite collecting more than $1 billion around the world till now).

The first part (Avatar 1) back in 2009 won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. Also, it won the Oscars for Best Art Direction (Rick Carter and Robert Stromberg) and Best Cinematography (Mauro Fiore).

This time also, it may win the same award (Oscar for Best Visual Effects), but I will be terribly disappointed if it is the only award this film wins at Oscars.

The best Visual effect will be for Avatar. Seem very easy for that movie to get such an award. Somehow I feel not very fair since all the effects are computer generated. For me, Avatar 2 has a terrible story that could go up to Avatar 10. They made a new watermen race in that world and a new messiah who could be the girl in Avatar 3.

Oscar Jury has different criteria and of course, those juries know how to scrutinize a film and will look at the film from different angles. And they may prefer the film that features it all for awards that are given more importance like Best Actor, Actress, and Director.
2390  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the motives that drive you to gamble? on: December 30, 2022, 03:42:05 AM
I was firstly motivated into gambling for profit reasons. I believed it was possible to make decent profit wagering at dice game to grow my bitcoin holdings progressively. Tried several times with different configurations through the usage of bot, but ended losing my satoshis earned from faucets. After several attempts I realized I was seeing gambling in the wrong way and if profit was my goal I would have to find a different activity to fulfill my objectives, remaining gambling solely as entertainment to play from times to times at the company of friends and family, if possible.
If you want to gamble you can profit from it. But for that you have to bet there. You need to know about the things you bet on. Gambling is something that if you ever bet on something, you have to put your full faith in it. And if you accidentally lose, you lose all your money. So not only gambling, you can bet after the gambling you are good at, then you can definitely profit from gambling.
Maybe. It's an unpredictable situation. You can win or lose money, you never know. All you can do is to hope to be among the slight percentage of lucky gamblers who profit from a nice win streak or a big jackpot winning. But I can assure you it's not through dice that gamblers are going to make profit. It has to be on the lottery, slots' jackpot or sports betting. After all, to be good at gambling actually means you have to be lucky, that is all.

Everyone always hopes to win in gambling which to point out it's really money that drives and motivates, they may call it profit or winning but it's still money. A person doesn't need to be addicted to gambling b  because with just the motivation to double his money, he can try gambling for a day and quit the next.

In Bitcoin casino, I guess we all want to double our BTC holdings. If you can't trade, then gambling might work.  Grin
2391  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: It Is Possible To Invest In Crypto Currency Without Buying Any Coins. on: December 30, 2022, 03:07:31 AM
Did you misunderstand about investment?

Investment means you use your money, capital to buy something, hold it with belief that these things will increase in value and bring profit to your portfolio.

If you don't buy anything, it is not investment.

You can claim faucets, receive cryptocurrency as birthday gift or any sort of gift from others and hold it too but with these inputs, I don't consider that you are investing.

Wiki definition for Investment
Quote
Investment is the dedication of money to purchase of an asset to attain an increase in value over a period of time. Investment requires a sacrifice of some present asset, such as time, money, or effort.

He meant indirect investment like the link he posted which means not buying the cryptocurrency himself which the article says crypto ETF and Mutual funds. It defeats the purpose of owning the crypto assets though.

In this forum, one can really get to earn crypto either altcoins or BTC by joining campaigns. That would mean no money coming out of the pockets but he gotta work for it.
2392  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would Satoshi Do (today) on: December 29, 2022, 02:34:30 PM
Centralized doesn't always mean bad.
Centralized coin being sold as decentralized is bad though.


You can't argue with this. Charles has been telling everyone on his live ama every single time that ADA is decentralized while he has billions of it and then has a staking pool. 

The regulators are trying to bring down crypto that is not made in US, why will Cardano be ignored by the US regulators? But I'm really surprised why Gensler is not attacking ADA, they could just say ADA as Security but why not? I guess it's not yet time but it will be the next fud in 2026 probably.

Satoshi couldn't do anything but probably just accept these altcoins exist and even the person we hailed to be the next Warren Buffet can be a scam.
2393  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: December 29, 2022, 02:04:09 PM
To those of you who criticize the fight cancellation vs. Gesta.

Ryan Garcia has made the correct decision, I reckon. If he was to continue the fight against Gesta and also has to have some of his attention on the superfight against Tank Davis on May, this will certainly be more added pressure that he does not need. Would fans still want King Ry vs. Tank if Ryan Garcia does not give a good performance against Gesta? What if he lost vs. Gesta? There is also risk of injury.

These are risks that Ryan should avoid. Similar argument to Tank also, he should cancel his fight against Hector Luis Garcia. He might injure his left hand again.

I don't criticize his decision as I believe it will only result to a mismatch fight.

Garcia should focus on his big fight and that's why he is doing right now, if Davis will have a tuneup fight, that's his decision but I'm pretty sure he will not be at risk of losing that fight because their fight against Garcia is already destine to happen.

Even if that fight would occur, Ryan Garcia would still win the fight, and people would not get excited since Gesta is not a champion, they will think that it's a tuneup fight where there's an obvious winner. His decision to cancel to fully prepare himself to Tank Davis is the best decision he made, why? because he needs to be fully focus in order to beat Tank Davis who's a real champion.

I think the Hector and Davis fight will also be canceled they could just resume thier scheduled fight this May Davis vs Ryan Garcia where both don't have tune-up fight. Davis on the news was arrested due to domestic violence, it's just a week away from Hector's fight night.

If they are both willing to just give a good entertaining fight for thier fans as per demand, its fair they both didn't have tuneup fights.
2394  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin payment laundering in order to avoid taxation on: December 29, 2022, 01:57:39 PM
Hello I have started accepting payments with bitcoin due to its anonym state. Should I state them at my taxes as payments? Should I just spend them as a bitcoin on groceries and under 1,000 payments? Also, is it worth it to take them in cash using a crypto atm? What is my best option to not get this money tracked and taxed?

It does mean you have a business that you now are trying to accept BTC from the products and services you offer. If the BTC address is not linked to your business, I guess that BTC is not recorded in your cashier's ledger and maybe it's safe to just use the BTC but if it's recorded there then it's taxable.

Pay up your tax, after all, you are a citizen of your country.

This player was banned from our website for multiple attempts of fraud. He was also banned from our discord due to threatening and abusive messages.

Do you mind share additional information or proof?

Macaws withdrawals are done instantly, directly from the casino via the lightning network. There is no need to wait for manual approval, you can do it as soon as you win. This user tried to manipulate the html of the website to make it seem that he had more funds than he did and convince our support team that he needed the transactions processed manually.  He also tried to claim some wins of other players accounts as his own.  

I think you should also prove what you are telling. That's quite a skill of OP that your staff believe. I didn't see the threatening messages.

On the part of the JuanS2099. I think there is missing from his photos. Macaw seems to be helping all that you need in order to withdraw. So why you guys end up talking about ref link?

Instant paradise all around the world!  Grin

It does sound good actually if it's that easy to do. A business wouldn't hire someone if they are forced to pay a high rate just because he has the experience, it does have something to do with how much the business earns.

Wages vary in every country since we do have purchasing power parity differences. $3500 can be enough to live a decent life in Canada since your needs and commodities you buy don't travel from or somewhere else while in NY, you need $7000+ to survive because all things you need to live there have to travel far to reach NY.

Check out the local wallet in your country where you can trade your BTC for cash. Or you can use Binance and sell your BTC in p2p going to your bank account.

The way to do this is to sign up on binance and send your BTC from casino to your Binance account. You can find BTC deposit address in your Binance account.
2398  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Responsible gambling on: December 29, 2022, 05:38:27 AM
To avoid, running after the loss, I have set up the responsible gambling in my account and it helps me a lot to control the bad beats against my will to recharge my account and ending up losing it all again.

I think many casinos don't have this feature because that'll prevent them from making money, casinos don't care if you lose all the money you have and turn an addict instead that's their wish for all their customers so they'll keep using their platforms and makings them wealthier. I haven't used the responsible gambling feature but I have personal strategy that helps me.

Firstly I only gamble with crypto currency and have a separate account where I keep funds for gambling. I use multiple platforms so I keep money on those platform just for that purpose. I don't deposit until I'm ready to use this specific platform for the week and when that money finishes I stop gambling for the week.

People lose more on poker than on sports betting. The nature of poker where you have to add more to the pot to keep the bluffs is scarier to think of because you lose already if you give up.  But if he loses more on sports then he must have put it all in which is more irresponsible for me.

Been betting on sports and just taking the safe bets through the odds given by bookmarkers made me win easily. Though  I'm not really betting huge amount but still a profitable way.

Armenia was trying to have big BTC mining farms in thier country, there were articles circulating with this information so what is stopping the gamblers from using BTC or any other crypto to offset balances from thier bank accounts?

I know tax is important for the government to stand but they are not going to make gamblers pay a lot more from thier hobby while they already have paid taxes from thier income. Because they will find ways.
2400  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What will be the next crypto craze? on: December 28, 2022, 06:37:42 PM
None of the Metaverse projects had yet released thier full platform yet. The ones the I was trying were Dacentraland but this also is yet not.
Play2Earn could still come up in the next craze since there are many developers that are developing games.
And then Defi which some platforms are trying to develop new algo for stablecoin and I think Defi will still be attractive soon because even the CEX nowadays are still doing it like the staking.
Maybe that is the issue with the metaverse projects? I mean they can't really be ever over, because if you say "this is it" people will start to mock it and leave easily and the ones who are haven't entered yet will have a good reason not to enter at all. I have seen better graphics on single solo developer built games than what decentraland had, so it is quite possible that it would never take off.

I understand there are some "game" games, like NFT and metaverse all combined and people hope that you could live there in the game 12-15 hours a day and make enough tokens to sell and make a living like that. But to say that metaverse would be an alternative reality where you will live? You need better graphics for sure.

If it ever happens that metaverse will be the 2nd reality, we'd end up like those movies where everything is done by machines and we are all lazy sitting down fatting our asses. Decentraland however started pretty small like less than 5 cents when I tried buying. Pretty amazing how it got its ATH.

There is got to be something that will happen to break the fud that is going around against crypto which will also kick-start new projects in crypto.
The NEW peace arrangement with Ukraine and Russia is probably one. WAR NFTs are quite interesting to have.
