There are a lot of people posting here. In most of threads related to sportsbetting, most user just discuss about the match, how player performed, how they could perform etc but very few person discuss about odds, chances of winning a team and other factors related to bet. Is it possible that most people only discuss here to fulfill their signature requirement? In my case, I don’t play games at casino. I used to play back in the day but not anymore while I'm still having sportsbet on most of the matches. Be honest and share about you whether you post only for your signature requirement or you post because you are involved in gambling & you want to know or share knowledge.
Well, not everyone is a sports gambler here! A majority of the crowd here are normal casino players like slot games. Also a good majority of them loves crash games. Personally I don't bet on sports but I am a big fan of crash games! So not everyone will talk about betting odds or leverages and other stuffs related to sports betting. A lot of us will roam in the gambling section to discover bonuses, news about casino websites, casino review websites and other stuffs related to gambling.

Well, I have two different answers for this question under two different circumstances.
Let's assume, I am a salaried person and I am doing well for myself-
1. I will trust banks and fiat money and even with my data because at this situation I would need access to the banking products and offers.
Now let's assume, I am a millionaire and not all my incomes are white-
2. I would not trust bank with my money and definitely not with my data. I would rather prefer cryptos like bitcoin or Monero. Because now if Banks have access to my data, that will eventually be flown to the Income Tax department and that's exactly what I don't want.
So that's my situation based answer!

Before the birth of Bitcoin, we never thought that private individuals could issue currency, nor did we think that digital currency could truly be used as a payment medium, let alone the rationality of the existence of legal currency. But when Bitcoin was born, everything changed. Individuals issuing currency is a huge risk. Anyone and everyone then will become a billionaire. It's good that crypto market usually rejects shit projects. For this reason we have tens of thousands of deadcoins in the market. Not ideal. We began to doubt the monetary exploitation of us by government agencies. We began to think about the irrationality of various centralized financial institutions. We started fighting for our currency independence. We began to use Bitcoin to protect our wealth from inflation. We began to think about all kinds of injustices in society.
In this process, I think our biggest change is that our minds have been liberated. We began to pursue freedom of thought. We are no longer imprisoned by the opinions propagated by various media. There are countless possibilities in our brains. Heavy words it seems! But sadly, very minor percentage of bitcoin holders are concerned about security. Majority of them are investor with a hope of get rich quickly. Some bitcoin puritans still thinks for such liberation or freedom, but are unable to make much impact. This is my view on freedom of thought. What do you think?
Good view! Bitcoin indeed helped some people to overcome the dependency on government created financial ecosystem. But sadly, a very little percentage of people are concerned about the anonymity and security. People are just happy to invest in it through centralized exchanges and enjoy the rollercoaster ride thrown to them. For them, the value of bitcoin is only its price and nothing else!

The whale manipulates its value and is so easily manipulated. Is this decentralization?
Do you have a proof that whales are manipulating the crypto market? This can very well be a popular belief and may be far from reality. Till date we haven't seen any legit proof where the whales have manipulated the market. Obviously Elon Musk did and now his company's bitcoin holding is running in negative. I don't think we have any other assets available which are greatly decentralized like bitcoin.

The crypto economy is leading to the development of alternative financial and technological infrastructures that are global, open source, and available to everyone who has access to the Internet. With the increasing popularity of open source technology development based on the Internet community, and increasing investment in cryptocurrencies, public blockchain networks and protocols, grassroots efforts to establish a technological infrastructure that replaces the open and inclusive financial system may have taken over. Blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency that uses it are creating an open and democratic financial system.
Cryptocurrency can definitely help in financial inclusion but its main bottleneck is the requirement of internet and the requirement of technical knowledge in order to use cryptocurrencies effectively. There are several projects available which can be scaled up to meet the need of the increasing global demand, but unfortunately, the idea of cryptocurrency is still alien science to many. Also, to transact using cryptocurrency, we need internet connection. We still have many places where internet availability is a distant dream. It may not be possible for cryptocurrencies to help in such situations. So the financial inclusion using cryptocurrency is easier said than done!

Bitcoin is More Eco-Friendly Than Gold and Banking That's a perfect statement! If we compare the energy usage of only the gold businesses worldwide, bitcoin's energy usage will look minuscule. The banking sector is even bigger producer of carbon given it's size. So whoever thinks that bitcoin is bad just because it requires energy, that's utter stupidity! Just as Elon Musk did! His company could have made a very nice profit, but due to his stupidity, they are now facing loss on papers. But we need to learn to ignore such stupid people from our life for our own good!

Only human can control bitcoin, no other species can! But the right statement is that - Individual can't control bitcoin. Bitcoin is designed to be a democratic monetary system where the miners have to vote and majority always wins. If the minority don't like the system, they can fork away! So it is one of the most beautifully designed democratic monetary systems exist today for good! There are issues like scaling etc. But eventually that will be resolved in one way or other in future.

Hi everybody, i am a student of economics and i'm interested make my thesis for i could graduated about Bitcoin. In specific, i want to do a analysis of bitcoin market in Colombia. It is basically the question of investigation of my job. Yet i am thinking the hypothesis and in this topic i would like that focus in the contribute of the bitcoin to the society through of market. I had thinked in the transaction costs that save the system of transactions virtual. If you could help me with ideas i will be many grateful.
Regards.
Ok, so I will give you some bullet points and you can research further on those to understand the contribution of bitcoin to the society, 1. Decentralized monetary system that is controlled by nobody. You are the master of your own wealth unlike the banking system. 2. Bitcoin doesn't get printed like fiat so it is mostly immune from inflation 3. It has the power to include unbanked population into the scope of modern monetary system I think these 3 are the major points of contribution by bitcoin to the society. Obviously you will have to research more on thi to deeply understand the impact.

The CEO of Celcius seems ultra bullish on bitcoin. While I don't disagree on the pricing point, but I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. Definitely not by the end of this year. I am sure nobody will be unhappy if it happens because a lot of forum members will become millionaires. But realistically, I don't think it's possible to achieve anytime soon. However, 10 years down the line, it's definitely possible! When the Next to next bullish cycle will happen, that's when we might see such price point of bitcoin.
Also as we have always seen, along with the bullish cycle of bitcoin, the price of all altcoins will increase. So diversification is the key here! I agree to have few prominent altcoins along with bitcoin in my portfolio to make the most out of such bullish cycle.

What do you think ? Are you happy with the results ? Did you expect someone else there ?
There is no surprise that Bet365 clinched the top 1 Online Sports Betting Operator. If I remember right, there is a thread before that is shared here (or maybe just part of the replies) in the forum that they become more popular on Europe's online gambling during the pandemic and lasted until now. Not against the voting result here, even I'm not familiar with some of those, because awards doesn't really matter as long as these gambling operators are good to their service. Bet365 has become a legendary casino in fiat based casino industry under the able leadership of Denise Coates. This lady was a visionary businesswoman who understood the value an online gambling website can bring to the gamblers. Since they were focused to provide an immersive gambling experience from the very beginning, this pandemic time had helped them immensely to grow. Read the below article: https://mikecruickshank.com/bet-365/Indeed many casinos are not known to a lot of people here because we are crypto users and not fiat casino users. But bet365 is indeed well deserved to win such award.

https://finance.sina.com.cn/tech/2021-06-12/doc-ikqciyzi9219950.shtmlIn this article, it is written that the Yunnan Provincial Energy Authority will cut off the power supply for mining farms that do not have permission to do so. China has seriously decided to fight bitcoin in order to push its own CBDC. But who needs a Chinese centralized payment system? Such news are not surprising when I see the origin of the news. It's China! Come on, what else do you expect from an authoritarian government run by a power hungry communist. When they don't get to deal with a problem directly, they try mean ways to deal with it. China understands very well that bitcoin is beyond their control and that's why they are trying to eradicate miners from their soil. But that makes complete sense! They have their own version of Twitter, whatsapp, facebook and even windows. So why don't they get their own version of Bitcoin controlled by their very own government. Problem solved!

I just don't know what to say ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FswpC7Gj.png&t=663&c=rr07cCwY3gZAdQ) They even deleted my message with a link to this thread (link was sent before my message starting with "Here you have question...") Should I create a thread in Scam Accusations subforum? I think you can go ahead and create a thread in scam acquisition and let op respond you there. But always ensure you withdraw whatever amount you have left in your account with them. Thy may very well take punitive actions and block your funds for no reason. I see your question went unanswered and you have even tried to speak to them through chat to get your query related to Provably fairness answered. Also did you receive your money back for their broken autobet feature?

Help a newbie out. Banks and governments have enormous motivation to crush Bitcoin, they can't, but can't they put pressure on trading platforms?
I ask because I just learned some alt-right guy, Milo somebody was kicked off of Coinbase.
Can't the Govt/corporations just get creative and pressure exchanges to deplatform people ?
Or demand more transparency to guard against criminal activity or whatever.
Sure, you have a wallet, and can buy and receive BTC, but you can't legally buy it.
I'm in NY, we only have like 4 legal platforms to buy BTC from ! Seems incredibly fragile....and introduces all the centralized trust issues BTC was supposed to do away with !
Sure, you could get a VPN & use another exchange but this comes with it's own risks, and is too much trouble for the average Joe.
Government can do anything and everything if they want to seriously ban bitcoin within their jurisdiction. That includes, arresting the exchange officials, forcefully get the list of all users and ip details of the users, shut down operations, cease the funds and what not! All they need is to charge them with suspicion of money laundering. So always prefer p2p trading through an exchange that is not operating from the same country you are in. Then your identity will probably be safe and not come to the hands of your government.

Therefore, think before submitting your documents! on any local crypto exchange. That's exactly I have been saying since long to every other member of Indian sub-forum. Indian crypto exchanges are not preferred place to trade cryptos as on yet. Indian government is very skeptical about cryptocurrencies and very concerned about its anonymity. So it will be a miracle if they ever accept it as an asset. At least I don't have much hope! But if it happens, they will be very stringent from the very beginning. They will impose stricter kyc norms as well as make individual reporting mandatory for both the exchanges and the individual. We can also expect separate taxes on crypto transactions and income from crypto trading. No one knows what's gonna happen and even if they ban it, they might give retrospective effect on their ban policy. So it's bet to avoid any Indian crypto exchanges. Government gives a damn about decentralized economy, rather they see it as a risk!

Is there really any points of dogecoin other than to meme it and use it as a pump and dump?
When the creator of dogecoin project himself left the project, then what could be the point of it? Few years back he had sold his dogecoin holdings to buy a new Honda car. Had he known that Elon is going to promote his project in future, he would hve sold it. But the creator himself confirmed that dogecoin was created as a joke so I don't see any point in it apart from a puppet to the pump and dump players. It is definitely not worth any investment.

Well, let's not generalize Africa. It's not a country, rather it's a continent. South Africa is an African country who are friendly towards crypto. There are definitely some countries shown negative attitude towards crypto, but that does not define Africa as a whole. I know Zimbabwe is facing hyperinflation, but crypto isn't going to help there as it didn't do for Venezuela.
It's all about mindset. Most of the African countries are poor today because of European expansionist mentality. It wouldn't be incorrect to say that Europe's extreme wealth is mainly stolen from Africa and India. Then their fascist rulers made it even worse.

OK, so George Soros is now officially trading bitcoin at his investment firm Soros Fund Management. His intentions are unclear but he is well known for being a ruthless financier. Do you think this a good or bad thing for bitcoin?
As per some sources, Soros Fund management LLC manages assets worth over 5.3 billion usd. So such kind of money mongers are never a good news for the crypto market. While Soros is just trying to make some more money, it will be much easier for him to manipulate the market for his own gain. With this kind of money in pocket, it's never a good news for small traders like us. We have already seen what money power can do here in case of Elon Musk, so I personally wouldn't want another billionaire to jump into crypto market for sure!

I have tried to find a similar topic and wondering how this news was missed in the forum. 650 US banks will open Bitcoin purchases, I think it's not a small adaption if it happens really. Most probably that service will be provided by NCR banks, users will be able to purchase Bitcoin through NCR’s 800,000 ATMs as well. But surprisingly I notice Bitcoin's price drop after this news (Lol). However, I think this step will make it easier to trade Bitcoin for US citizens. Please read the news source for more details: $6 Billion NCR Opens Bitcoin Purchases To 650 Banks And Credit UnionsThat's not going to make a lot of difference because US customers are already using bitcoin exchanges like Binance since a long time now. Also there are privileged enough to use bitcoin ATMs which are installed across the country. Adoption by Banks is just going to make bitcoin more visible to the masses and possibly increase its credibility. But i really hope that as a superpower US will help other nations to adopt bitcoin and come out of regressive mentality.

After the statement that they are eyeing Bitcoin/crypto, Mexico's central bank was quick to counter, telling "The country's financial institutions are not authorized to carry out and offer to the public operations with virtual assets such as Bitcoin" and that those who do will face "applicable sanctions." All this is a war of words and it's not yet easy to predict what's going to happen next. For now, the central bank seems to have got a small victory, at least by slowing down the adoption there. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FQbTC4kj.png&t=663&c=IGQMQTJ_vhHl9g) Full story: https://www.btctimes.com/news/Mexico-central-bank-blocks-ricardo-salinas-bitcoin-plansThat's hilarious! A businessman has the guts to respond to their finance ministry in such a way, may have some serious connections at the political level and also the power to purchase beaurocrats to turn the tide in his favor. But it's quite clear that Salinas has just conveyed his willingness to adopt crypto without any regulatory backing. At least for the time being! We will see what future holds for the crypto community of Mexico.
