2401  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin can do 30k$ this month? on: April 02, 2023, 03:00:09 PM
If the market would allow, then $30k is possible and is already around the corner. The average market value at the start of april is already at $28k and is too close for such goal. Once it reaches $30k we may expect for a rally towarda $32k as its new resistance. But there are only speculations; no one really knows what could happen in a blink of an eye just like the sudden dump reaching $26k before the month of march ended. Problem I am seeing which slows down the uprise movement is the lack of reason to do so. Whale or big investors' manipulation of the market is more observable.
After march the price failed to reach $30k then i believe a price of $30k will happen in april now, a strong indication is that many influencers are suggesting to buy because a bull run is imminent,  maybe it is their opinion but if there is much to suggest it usually will be.

Who are those influencers? What did they say, and what evidence do they have that there will be an upcoming bull run? I'm not saying bitcoin won't cross $30k or see any upside, but when investing, you need to believe in yourself rather than what social media celebrities are speaking nonsense about. They like you and me, are making predictions and expectations without any evidence to back up those claims.
In addition to expecting bitcoin to continue to rise, you should do your own analysis and have a backup plan if bitcoin does not increase but plunges.
Everyone are just making a speculation, meaning, guess, of what could happen but no one would be able to actually tell the exact future for this industry in general. Every opinion is valid, and it is the investor who would suffer in the first place if he would be too dragged by mere expectations.
2402  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin usage in crime activity. on: April 02, 2023, 02:25:40 PM
Has been existing eversince. This technology promotes anonymity with transactions and that also covers illegal ones. What can we do about it? None. Those transactions are simply payments and it is the wrongdoings which should be condemned and not the mode of payment.  Even with fiat currencies, tracing only is being used to track accounts involved but not certain with the one who did a crime. And it is not this technology's fault if it would be involved on such things because no matter what currency is being used, the purpose of crimes are solely with doers' intentions.

Would it be the reason to stop adoption of this technology? Has low chances that it is. It would be more acceptible to know that countries are afraid because of the risk involved, but with crimes? that's too far from a currency's purpose and function.
2403  Economy / Economics / Re: Money as a store of value... on: April 01, 2023, 08:01:40 PM
in the long run Money is by no means a store of value that can keep its value the same year after year. because the value of the currency actually continues to experience deflation from year to year. whereas Gold might be more suitable to be used as a store of value for our assets so that it is not too affected by inflation. even though gold also has fluctuations but with a range of price changes that are not far away. and the trigger is also due to changes in currency values ​​that are affected by inflation or something like that. so actually the price of gold is not too moving. but the money keeps moving. correct me if wrong.
In addition to gold, real estate is also a very good store of value and I think it is safer than gold. But the downside of these two assets is that they are quite bulky, it will be difficult to move as well as if there is a war, the real estate will depreciate. Although bitcoin is volatile, we can consider it as a store of wealth because of its advantages.
Assets are not requiring in any form, size and weight as long as it will give you hopes or potential that its market price will grow in the long run and in order to make money for your needs of ourse. Being a store of value should promote and endorse all of the things we see regarding demons for us to make use of it as an advantage and to strategize things. A war would be different because no matter what size your asset is, you'd be having a hard time focusing on things which are most imporatnt for one's career. Banks and money promotes security more than others but not absolute.During a war, no currency will be monitored because it would be a survival of the fittest.
2404  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Volatility on: April 01, 2023, 07:54:39 PM
Bitcoin's volatility is one of its features that turns off a lot of people. When someone expresses interest in investing, the majority of financial counselors advise them to avoid doing this. Because it is one of the most volatile assets ever, I believe that is why the adage "invest only what you can afford to lose" exists.

My query is: How will Bitcoin's volatility diminish over time, or what is the single biggest element that could result in a reduction in Bitcoin's volatility?
In any form of investment, risk would be present. And to most of the assets, expect volatility in the market price simply because the value depends on demand from the majority and demand on the other hand is changing because of several factors. Many people are indeed being scared or worried of engaging towarda this technology for the same concern but for sure many people stayed because of market price volatility. Investors have taken advantage of these changes because it simply generates profit faster than with other kinds of investment. Problem is people seek for what's easily earned which is why they do complain to such characteristic of this technology. Unfortunately, we cannot do something about it and no one's required to do it as well.
2405  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: What makes Binance stay strong despite all FUD ? on: April 01, 2023, 06:05:33 PM
Their service I guess. FUDs are simply accusations thrown at a particular thing but it won't mean any certainty. Binance is simply being careful of their service. Think of how an exchanger collaped and they remained with the same d
reputation in this industry. For sure many people in this industry, in particular with investors know how FUDs should be absorbed and taken to benefit from and to not fall from it. I can celarly remember how many people panicked with what happened forming generalization out of this industry or technology. Binance simply remained firm to show how they return the trust from their users. This is why it is not surprising on my end to know Binance is still in the right place at the present.
2406  Economy / Economics / Re: Should you save, when you are wealthy? on: April 01, 2023, 05:29:09 PM
Yes, being wealthy won't excuse you to save. First thing is to know its importance; being rich or wealthy at the present won't automatically mean that you'd be rich for the rest of your life. It would always be better to be preventive than to be problematic afterwards for the cure of a certain problem and in this instance is wealth. No one knows what could happen tomorrow; things are simply having no pattern, that's just how life works. Therefore, being prepared would make you safe from regrets. Saving therefore would prolong your iverall sustainance of your lifestyle and will make you ready for unexpected expenses in the future. But if you are too confident of your wealth, there is no law requiring you to save in the first place; it takes one's initiative.
2407  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Starting my master's degree in bitcoin on: April 01, 2023, 04:24:26 PM
Why do you need a Master degree in Bitcoin. With its open-source you can learn it and don't need to have a Master degree about it.

I don't know Bitcoin Core developers have their Master degrees to code Bitcoin Core softwares.

If you want to look for Master courses, find them from [LIST] Institutions offering blockchain courses and programs in the world. The list is not for Master degree courses but likely you will find them from those universities.

Free courses from Learmeabitcoin
Also, there's no such thing professional in this industry; we are all students who keeps on learning as this technology develops. I've heard of cryptocurrencies being a course, and a subject and some people think that it is even a good profession. My personal question is why? Given how risky this industry is, in comparison with other investments such as properties and stock market. Even those who are in this industry for almost a decade are still seeking for new knowledge about this industry. Maybe, people are way too amazed by the potential of this blockchain in particular with profit potential, but things just work on a different way for this industry; no particular pattern. Having a master's degree means you have a mastery of something right? Are there anyone in this industry whose in such level?
2408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any casino site offer Ludo game? on: April 01, 2023, 03:27:55 PM
I have never found Ludo in a crypto casino but I don't know if Ludo games are available in fiat casinos or local casinos. But I've seen it on my friend's phone game and it's just a normal game with nothing to do with gambling. So you can play Ludo as usual without having to spend money. And if you want to play gambling, you better look for other popular gambling games. We want to see how our favorite game can be included in the gambling, but it depends on the casino because the casino will see how popular the game is.
It is a boardgame if I'm not mistaken but any game in the first place could be a gambling game as long as a bet is involved. It is just not a usual gambling game but that doesn't mean that it has no linkage with this industry. It just happened that traditional gambling games are more being accommodated in this industry and are being created with different versions. As we can observe, gambling sites are trying to offer new gambling games to their players simply because of the idea that boredom could take place if same thing will be played for a long period of time.

So to answer the question of OP, I am not aware that a gambling site offers such gambling game. I do view it as something alike with snakes and ladder if you guys are familiar. More of a leisure activity to just kill time. And since it is not as popular as the traditional ones, there should be second thought for gambling platforms to offer such game, because it could be a waste on their end. What's more likely to happen is for them to still offer what is being demanded by majority of players.
2409  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Selling my crypto gambling casino with sports betting on: March 31, 2023, 10:08:05 PM
Quite off topic but I think it would be hard to sell an existing cryptogambling site or even structured already. Investors would prefer starting it from the roots in such way, the project would be more efficient and they will already see problems before the actual release than them troubleshooting afterwards when they bought a finished platform. But it would be worth trying to sell especially since Op have mentioned problems or cause of its cancellation. With that, I suggest putting or attachment of the platform itself or its concept which would give possible investors or buyers the idea already. In most instances, they'd be too lazy to check it one by one.
2410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has anyone here tried Gambling Arbitrage? on: March 31, 2023, 09:43:33 PM
Have been asked before if I'm not mistaken.I personally did not experience arbitrage betting but have a friend who already did. He even tried to encourage me at first but eventually he stopped it . According to him, it would be indeed profitable especially if you would be able to put the right margin between your bets on different platforms. Given that you'd bet on all possible outcomes, in such way it would be too costy, and for me that is an enough risk to avoid.Once you made the wrong calculation of odds, expect huge loss on your end. I'd prefer just playing it on the usual to avoid adding risks of losing. I believe this won't be hundred percent effective even if it is called "surebets", because if it really is, then many gamblers should be rich by now.
2411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your local gambling game that you didn’t see in the crypto casino on: March 31, 2023, 04:26:26 PM
Do you know any local gambling games in your country that crypto casino doesn’t offer until now?

In our country, We have a lot of local gambling games that being offered by our local online casino but I still didn’t see in any crypto casino available here. I made the list below on our local gambling games that I want to be added by crypto casino.

Color game
It is a "Gamble/Parlor" Game  Seen in the Philippines mostly during "Fiesta" and Christmas Seasons on late 80's and 90's, as of now Some Towns and local Barangays in Provinces are still allowing this type of game (together with BINGO Games, "ROLETA", etc. ) only during Fiesta and NO MINORs are allowed to bet.

The mechanics is simple, You just need to choose a Color to bet among six (6) Colors, and you or the operator must pull  a String or manually pull-up a lever to release the Multi-colored wooden Blocks/Dices. The Color on  the top of the (3) "rolled" wooden blocks/Dices are the winning colors.

Tong-its
Tong-its is played using the standard Anglo-American pattern 52-card deck. Unlike many Rummy variations, Tong-its does not make use of the Jokers sometimes available.

Tong-its is exclusively a three-player game, something which makes it unique among the Rummy-family. The odd number of Players, as well as the inability to add or subtract Players from the game, makes for an interesting deal as well. This short tutorial will explain the basic concepts of the game.

Pusoy Way & Pusoy Dos

This game is like poker in terms of card combination hierarchy it just vary on the way cards being played. You can read full mechanics on this blog https://www.pinoygame.net/news/detail/18/Pusoy-Pinoy-How-to-play.html


Lucky 9

A card game that same mechanics with Baccarat. It just played like Blackjack which player can have multiple seat and has the capability to hit or stand. This gives the freedom for players to play for there own decision unlike Baccarat that you are just choosing side.

You can share your own game below. Just make sure that it’s a GAMBLING GAME. Post the brief mechanics and add reference for the full description of the game.

I live in the same country. Your list is indeed true but to categorize it; these gambling games are simply street based gambling games. These are basically gambling games which are more accessible with convenience to players wherein a deck of card can generate mutiple betting games. But to add, spider betting game and other animal betting games.Others are coin toss and other probability gambling games. There's more for sure including betting agreements on a particular concern such as number of this and that. This simply implies that gambling industry is far from what most of us know. There are many betting games which could generate profit. Any thing wherein contrary would be the bottomline as long as the contrary sides are okay with the long end growth and we just cannot so something about it.
2412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Neymar Loses €1M in Casino in Just an Hour on: March 31, 2023, 03:57:01 PM
Not surprising especially for someone who bets that much. For sure there are big players out there who feel the same thing whenever they are losing; the idea that they can get it back again thru playing. I'd agree with fuel to addiction or something which would drive a plaer into addiction towarda gambling. Once the value of money declined on a player's point of view, that is where problem may arise. They might be too dependent with the activity because they are disregarding the risk of losing money. At their start, it would be sustainable but imagine losing continuously, how come you would be sustain your bets in a long run?
Neymar can never find this a loss because if you consider the amount the player earns per week you will discover it's something he can recover without much disturbance, there's an extent one can have money reach and care less about loosing it or have fear for missing out , so they take time to engage on several attempts on things or dealings that makes them squandered the money since they have it enough, but they will bever think about helping the needy or giving back to the society they belong to.
It is not the amount he earns because that thing won't be constant. Think of big individuals ending up broke because of gambling. Take note that most of them has multiple businesses. The point here is that; as long as the player is confident that losses would be eventually returned on their pockets, they will continue and will be more reckless of their money.
2413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Online casino always take risks? on: March 31, 2023, 02:56:02 PM
Not only online casinos but gambling in general, risk is present. There's no certainty with winning which makes it a risky investment. Both online and land based casino has risk. Landbased casinos would expose a gambler to trouble, vices in particular with second hand smoke. While in online gambling, players are prone to hacking and non paying gambling sites. But both would be risky of losing for sure because that is a part of gambling or what makes gambling, "gambling".

Casino owners most probably have a budget to pay for the marketing out of their pocket. It seems necessary to market the casino. I just don't know how they make the deal with the influencer. If the casino doesn't want to risks then they must have something like a reward for achieving something. Could it be how much the influencers bring to the casino since the start of his promotion?


For sure they have, and they should. Given how many gambling platforms are there, existing. Therefore a new platform should have something to market themselves to potential players in order to attract future investors or players which would give life to the site itself.
2414  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do we build a strong community of supporters for crypto projects ? on: March 30, 2023, 11:26:09 PM
Campaigns and other form of advertisments; most often social mdeia platforms. This is for the project to be known by more people both non-crypto and crypto investors. If you'd solely depend with crypto-investors, the possible growth would be limited into such population. Unlike with bigger scope wherein including non-crypto investors will create a bigger margin for your project's demand. If the project itself has potential then it would be worth trying to introduce it to a larger population.
Building a solid community is easy, easy, difficult. The most important trust, we can attract and build community by giving them gifts for example. But now there are many people who just want the prize without making a big contribution to the project, that is the work where the project must survive in the midst of such a process. Providing a clear roadmap is also one of the keys to the success of a project. And also always provide updated developments so that investors see that the project is a project that is managed seriously and by professional people. The peak is when the project has gained trust, it will not be difficult to attract many investors.
Indeed, maintaining the popularity is a hard thing to do. Especially if you have long term vision while your investors are only for short term. Problem is we cannot control the demand from investors during the process. Demand will only be established once the project is out in the public and still showing promising potential.
2415  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Investment: Good Debts vs Bad Debts on: March 30, 2023, 11:04:07 PM
On my viewpoint, there's no good debt. Indeed loans could be used to start your own business; process is allowing your business to pay your loan until the property itself remains as your profit. Problem is looking for that business which would generate assured profit or returns. Apartments? Properties? Could possibly be, but think of the rate of return; it would be long for such properties because rent is on a monthly basis. It is easy to idealize the process but on the actual it is not. You have to minimize the risk. And if you cannot sustain what you are using your loan with, you'd be at risk. I acknlowdge this process of using loan to earn profit but I myself is fully aware that it would be too risky and I might end up being in bigger dept.

Right now, I prefer using my own money to atleast give me an allowance from the risk. In such way, it would prolong my time getting back with the amount I would be investing into something.
2416  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if Bitcoin Was the Only Cryptocurrency? on: March 30, 2023, 10:48:13 PM
They say variety is the spice of life. But what if there were no variety? Won't life keep "lifing" without it? This brings me to the thought that popped in my head today - What if Bitcoin was the only cryptocurrency? Would adoption, regulation, been relatively easier? Would the volatility be reduced and the price stable? Would have less centralized exchanges?
Sometimes, various developments both in quality and quantity will also have an impact on the popularity of something. Likewise with Bitcoin, even though sometimes we are very lazy with the thousands of altcoins (shitcoins) that are created in the crypto world, but this is also an effect of the increasing acceptance of cryptocurrency in the eyes of the world, so that more concepts, coins, or other things related to blockchain and cryptocurrency are developed. . Indeed, we cannot guarantee that altcoins are indeed one of the factors why crypto has become more popular. Moreover, many people only know about Bitcoin, not altcoins. Hence, it may not be a problem with Bitcoin, but it may not be as popular as it is today. The point is that we will not know what will happen if altcoins do not exist, sometimes things are beyond our reach to predict, especially things that are unlikely to happen again and cannot turn back time. Wouldn't it be better to just focus on the present?
I agree, for sure other cryptocurrencies in particular with altcoins, contributed with the growth in this industry in general. Perhaps investors who are not into Bitcoin alone because of its too volatile market value. Also, it is a currency alone unlike with tokens of different projects that has specific utility wherein there are investors who are more into such kind of asset simply because it is where they form assumption whether something would be good holding for a long time, depending on the project itself. Unlike with Bitcoin wherein your assumption would solely depend with the majority's buying and selling behaviors.

So it is more of differences with preference as an investor. In comparison between bitcoin and altcoins; the rate of increase with altcoins are bigger most of the time because of the market cap and volume of these tokens. It is more volatile indeed but if you are having good analysis, you'd hit the right spot of investing on altcoins which could be why other people prefer it more.
2417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most likely category of people to become Gambling addicts. on: March 30, 2023, 10:34:29 PM
In summary, just don't introduce it to anyone that you know that are not capable of controlling their emotions because you'll never know on up to what point they can control themselves.

Because the time might even come that you'll be the one to be blamed by those people whom you've introduced gambling. That's not a new story and there have been cases like that they were blamed and made it looked bad because they've just introduced those addicted gamblers to gambling.

Avoid being the trigger of others that may fall into gambling addiction if you don't want to get involved and be blamed for.
Be responsible enough not to attract people in gambling particularly for those who may think that gambling can be a good source of living. If they do, they will always want to try their luck gambling most of the time and end up losing all their funds. And for people who may gamble just for fun, don’t be too confident that they won’t develop addiction in the long run. Gambling is very addictive, if you’re not good at resisting and controlling your urge, you will always fall for gambling addiction even if you will keep on saying that you only gamble for fun.
Indeed there are people who are making a living out of gambling industry but it should not be a considered reason for people to consider it as another source of income because there's no certainty of winning. It is based on one's luck basically. Pattern on the usual is, perhaps winning continuously for 7 days straight, then losing for 2 weeks straight subconsciously. Once you're dragged with the idea that it is one of your sources of income, then you'll come to it day by day to make money basically. It should be considered only as a leisure.

And yes, persuading someone to gamble will never be advisable. Allow them to seek with their own curiousity. 'coz for sure there will be this tendency for you to be blamed out of the bad outcome of their playing habit.
2418  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slot Tournaments - Ever Heard of it? on: March 30, 2023, 02:12:41 PM
Never heard of this; I believed slot machine games are individual games, it would always be house vs the player. So if there is a comparative approach with slot tournaments, I guess that would be just an added reward such that winning the jackpot in the game itself qhile having a bonus reqard from winning more, versus or in comparison with the other player. But as I've read what OP is trying to point out, it seems like such kind of slots will make it more of not being dependent with the jackpot alone but will give more emphais with the frequency or combos a player could achieve while playing. It sounds interesting but for sure would be confusing to many players who aren't aware of such concept.
2419  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons why I might consider selling my Bitcoin. on: March 29, 2023, 10:58:52 PM
Why will you still be holding your bitcoin when you are in need money and you don't have another source, the bitcoin you are holding is also money and you can't be dieing and you need money to treat yourself but you are having bitcoin in your wallet and you don't want to touch it, am sure there are some other problems some people will be having which they won't just have choice than to sell there bitcoin, nobody is saying we shouldn't sell our bitcoin if we are greatly in need of money and we don't have any other choice.
Maybe he's trying to point out that no matter how you planned to hold something, you will be sometimes having reason to break the plan if circumstances would push you to do so. This is a reality in any field of investment not only in cryptocurrency industry. Which is somehow related to the phrase "invest an amount you can afford to lose", because there is no assurance of things. If you are too dependent on the amount you have invested, things won',t end up well in a long run. Problem is; many people are relying their fate with their investment such as it is their gateway of becoming financially stable. That is indeed the goal of investment which is to generate profit but to make it as your sole dependence when it comes to income and profit, is what creating conflict.
2420  Economy / Economics / Re: Bank loans and securities. on: March 29, 2023, 10:42:12 PM
Banks can not loan you above their security measures. I went to bank to access a loan of $2,300 and they ask me what's my securities collateral to back up my loan reguest. And I said my school certs. The bank agent said such amount required housing, land or multi investment documents not just certification. So that's mean education do not have the real value but properties does.

Financial institutions are very conical in dealings with others. They can beg to bring money for them to use it and build estates, mortgage and occupy landed properties but they will screw you before given you a loan.
And? Their requirements are existing for decades already. That's just how it works; being organized and structured. Loans cannot be done by trust alone, ofcourse they'll need assurance that you have the capability to pay what you are trying to borrow and that is just fine for me. If I were the bank institution ofcourse I'd do the same thing. And if this post is to show cryptocurrency advantage, then it is not. There are no loans and insurances for this industry; you lose, take the burden.

Banks can't just give loan anyhow. They definitely require a good collateral for a huge loan. People save money in bank, this money may sometimes be loan out for profit. If the loan are not well secured, then bank will definitely be in problem when the borrower fail to pay back.
It is like borrowing to a friend and when asked when will you pay it, you'd just say "Just trust me, I'm gonna pay you back". Also, it is not only a few individual who are taking loans therefore, banks cannot let their money sleep on an individual who cannot give them assurance with the payment. They'd eye for those who can because of the interest, which gives them profit basically.
