I don't think any other Team habe this concept by your car, innovation or the wrong turn?

We know small or nothing about RBR but yes Ferrari SHOULD be the only one using this type of concept.
But from the small leaks, we got even RBR has something unique in their car with their front sospensions.

Sadly we can't see this week's test.

What do you guys think about the design of the F1-75 of Ferrari? Most have mentioned that it is the most beautiful Ferrari F1 that they have created, but I do agree that the car looks definitely stunning especially with the gills on the body.

I am just really excited to see these cars in action. What do you guys think? With all the changes made with specific and strict regulations, do you think that F1 cars would be much faster/slower compared to last year's cars?

I think the representative of the Casitsu should be active here to answer questions or at least read our feedback answering some questions would help their website to get players like me I was some concerns and curious about their website but with the absence of their representative I am having a doubt since I see that they are not that active and they don't answer some of the questions or concern of possible players.

Having an active customer support system is a key to the success of a gambling website. Unlike other gambling websites that lack any active participation in this forum, it is relatively difficult to ask for questions in the event that a problem arises on your end. Though this may be the case, you can always contract a representative provided in their website.

What I cannot fathom is supporting a gambling website that is entirely bogus and scam from the start. Even if they do have an active customer support service, it does not defeat or outweigh the fact that such website scams people (talking about 1xbit).

Actually, I just heard bitcoin earlier from my friend. He told me that this website functions like "reddit" (since I always use reddit) but in a more serious manner. Been searching some information about this and it actually caught my attention.

I posted this message back in 2017, not knowing that this forum was much different and complex than reddit. I used to read articles and do research on threads on reddit, that is why that became my point of comparison when I first replied here.

Looking back in 2017, the opportunities that this forum provided is just unreal. It provided me an opportunity to purchase my books for my education in college; and it somehow helped my family financially where I used some of my BTCs to purchase some household things.

https://www.euronews.com/next/2022/02/09/russia-s-government-and-central-bank-agree-to-treat-cryptos-as-currency

From considering a ban to admitting that it is nearly impossible to prevent the use of bitcoin, that is already extended to millions of its citizens that will not stop their trading and holding just for an official ban, the government has chosen a much wiser path, legalise and make sure that the actors of the market are clearly identified and can operate in full compliance with legislation.

This will definitely impact the price of bitcoin in the market. With one of the countries that used to ban BTC with their geographical location being ideal for mining, this kind of opportunity will attract future miners in setting up their system on the country.

I just do hope that other countries would start to accept BTC exchanges to their country. With its dominance in the transactions, I somehow doubt that prohibitions from other countries would last, given that a widespread of people have already utilized it. Let us just w and see that such payment method be implemented and integrated into our countries.
2465  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: stake.com- Does not have gambling responsibility on: February 20, 2022, 05:11:23 PM
Stake is one of 2-3 websites on this entire forum that offers gambling responsibility and self-exclusion. We will be introducing better tools very soon to help players responsibly manage their gameplay. In this specific situation I am not sure if the correct protocols were followed by the player but I will investigate further.

Under settings -> Preferences is where you can self-exclude your account automatically.

I suggest you get a tool to block all gambling like Gamban.

Bold move made by the representative of stake.com himself. The fact that the representative can easily be contacted speaks to how much integrity and honesty they want to represent themselves in the gambling atmosphere. I mean, all gambling websites are profit-driven (like all businesses) but providing extra tools to at least address gambling addiction by a gambling company itself is quite commendable.

I do suggest that you plan on excluding yourself from the gambling sphere, prepare alternative methods that will somehow help you forget about the feeling of such addiction.

Holla bitcoin Forum,
I'm New here, what's to be done, although I had a brief about this.
What's the best advice you received here, pass it on to me!.
Might be useful in my journey ahead here.

If there is one lesson that helped me ranked-up and contribute to the forum, it is this advice: do not chase for merits by spamming posts; create substantial and quality replies and merits will be the one chasing you.

Unfortunately, most newbies nowadays are so obsessed with ranking-up their accounts in order to participate into campaign signatures. While that is totally understandable, it somehow creates hundreds of pages of spams across the forum which somehow degrades the overall quality of posts. If you really took your time reading and understanding the replies, not only do you help other newbies but you also help yourself.
2467  Economy / Gambling / Re: sportsbet.io lowers my odds !!!!! on: February 20, 2022, 04:54:46 PM
I'm sorry, but I naively thought that it was inappropriate to add another margin on the odds for those who win too much according to them.
I knew that we can't win against bookmakers, but I still find it a bit too much...
I know it's annoying, but sadly that's what some casinos or gambling platforms do. Maybe I would suggest you explore some other platforms to see if they don't impose such restrictions. A casino or gambling platform will use what they have in their terms and conditions, and you will almost not be able to win a case against them. That's what I have observed, at least.

I agree with what JeromeTrash mentioned.

It is under the authority of gambling websites to adjust their prescribed rates on a case-to-case basis. As much as that you find it annoying, I think this is also one way of maximizing their profits on their end. With lots of gamblers nowadays, exploring such option is a no-brainer to their side. Unfortunately, gamblers would have to suffer this kind of rule, though everything is stated under their prescribed rules and regulations.

If this kind of alteration ruins your betting experience, then you are always free to explore other gambling websites that are available.
2468  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How I convinced a Stock Trader to Invest in Bitcoin on: February 20, 2022, 04:44:21 PM
Just show the results that you have earned in bitcoin then everything will be done and they will be interested.
Even though this interest is only partially due to curiosity and seeing the benefits, this is only temporary because if they are interested, they will automatically look for ins and outs of information about bitcoin and they will be here to invest if they really study the interest well.

I have tried investing into stocks. I studied the market- all of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors; all the candles; the changes; and volatility. But from my months of experience handling with my stocks, most of my results seemed to be in the red.

After exploring different options, I stumbled upon BTC when my friend introduced me into this forum. After only a few weeks, my investments definitely earned more than what I invested in stocks. Though this experience may be isolated from others, I just want to share that investing here in BTC was the best decision that I have ever made.
2469  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why I can't access a casino while my country isn't got blacklisted? on: February 20, 2022, 12:24:22 PM
Hi fellow gamblers,

I live in a country where gambling is actually legal, but due to some religions that consider gambling is illegal... gambling is pretty strict in my country but it's still allowed if you play on licensed casino, that's just my story.

Well, I've seen so many online casino in this forum and it's really attract me to play. But I don't know why I can't access the casino, while I can access the other casinos. My internet connection is good and my country doesn't got blacklisted by the casino, what's the problem then? Does this because my internet service provider, what should I do to solve this?

I wouldn't play with VPN since it's breaking their rules, I'm really looking to solve this. It's really sad when you want to play on specific casino but there's a barrier obstructing your desire. I know there's an alternative casinos, but I have some personal reason to play in specific casino...

This depends upon several factors but what most have mentioned, it may have something to do with your Internet Service Provider.

Generally, some ISPs have the authority to block certain websites if they are mandated by law (e.g. certain porn websites, etc.). If that were the case, you may check several online gambling websites since I somehow doubt that they can block all of these websites. Since you also mentioned that you want to avoid using any VPNs, then I suggest contacting your ISP and ask them directly about it.
2470  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I have concluded that all governments together can't stop bitcoin on: February 20, 2022, 06:39:11 AM
I get to be thinking what about all the government of the world unite and decide to stop bitcoin and cryptocurrency ?  Grin

I have wondered if this is possible to happen despite bitcoin being decentralized. Within me, I don't think that is no more possible because bitcoin is now unstoppable. Just like water is to the fish, bitcoin is the light of the earth.

What do you say yourself ?

I think the only way that cryptocurrencies can be stopped is if all people decided to just disregard and not use it. What drives the price of almost all cryptocurrencies is the general law of demand and supply. If government prohibitions can somehow affect its price, then a wide-scale global prohibition can somehow stop BTC, though it will definitely decrease significantly its price on the market, thereby making it obsolete.

Though what I mentioned above is highly unlikely to happen, still, we should not discount the possibility of it from happening. While its utilization is ongoing, better take the opportunity and grab such privilege of joining.
2471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: CrazyTime and Monopoly, should we trust? on: February 19, 2022, 07:33:22 PM
That was a tough question if it's about putting our trust. I rarely bet on that type of game but I do before. I even think it was fair since even it's pre-recorded or I don't know the term to call it if I bet it right, I will win. But too much for speculation now as my conclusion now is, I won't play on those games from now.

Not saying I don't trust them but not comfortable risking money at live games.

I definitely agree with your point.

The problem with live games is that they are prone to manipulation at some point and they are not probably fair. The developers have complete freedom to at least manipulate the odds in their favor, even if this is not likely the case. At this kind of gambling, what you are risking is the trust that you have over the online gambling website. But for the safest bet and odds, it is better to avoid or bet a minimum amount in case something happens.
2472  Economy / Gambling / Re: Fun Stats about Bitcoin Casinos | Infographic on: February 18, 2022, 03:29:45 PM
*Number of new casinos that appeared in each year

2015 we've seen the decline of the new casinos launching but expecting I guess considering it's a bear market during that period though I haven't been in the space yet. But even during the 2018 bear market we've seen it to keep on boosting, perhaps casinos are in-demand and profitable business. I wonder if you could make a timeline of those crypto casinos that experience hacks before?

It is actually very interesting to see that during 2015 (the time where BTC was first starting to boom), people already considered gambling with it. I guess, gambling takes various forms and as long as a mode of currency is available then it would be wagered.

I tried accessing the first BTC casino (e.g. switchpoker.com, etc.) but it seems that their domain has been sold/expired. I wonder how many gambling casinos are still ongoing despite all the crashes, hacks, and problems they have encountered throughout the years.

Congratulations for reaching this milestone where at least 80% of the total forum members cannot attain. With your determination, wit, and intelligence, you definitely have the potential to reach another new milestone in the coming months.

I actually play the piano and the song you composed intrigued me. It is in the key of "G" so the song will sound relatively lively until the end. But you are right with the lyrics, most people took for granted the development of BTC. Almost all of the people only took notice of it once its price reached thousands of dollars in the market where people only saw its true potential.
2474  Economy / Economics / Re: Why many USA senator against bitcoin? on: February 17, 2022, 11:32:25 PM
We have seen there are miscellaneous reactions about bitcoin among US senators. On one side Colorado Governor Jared Schutz Polis announced that "his state will begin accepting Bitcoin for tax payments starting this summer" on the other hand Senators Jim Risch, Bill Cassidy, and Bob Mendez look aggressive against any step towards bitcoin implementations.

Some said using bitcoin as payments instead of US dollars will demolish the sanction power of the USA towards other countries. Do they fear bitcoin for losing control over the world economy or do they know the adoption of bitcoin will diminish the unchallenged sovereignty of USD?

I think it has something to do with financial freedom and control. With the transaction of BTCs involving anonymity, the government will lose control over its transactions especially on the fact of the nature/origin of the funds. I guess they really want to avoid any transactions that will compromise their country's security.

Overall, I do also feel that the positive effects of transacting BTCs outweigh the negative effects of it on the market. Its potential and opportunities is just too good to be slept on and to be ignored by the government- I just hope they find that sweet spot and compromise to at least implement it into their transactions.
2475  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: February 17, 2022, 11:08:34 PM
~ Seth Curry had two nice games and I'm curious about his performance after Kevin Durant comes back also.
I don't see any problem there but it all depends on how the coach uses both of them. I think he will remain a starter for the team while Patty Mills will come from the bench.

The better question here is who will be the starting guard when Irving is eligible to play. I bet Seth will come in as a sub. His minutes will be reduced also so expect his production to go down as well.

Regardless, Curry could still contribute to the team like he did in his previous team. I just don't see why his been traded many times despite the fact that he is a great contributor, especially on the offensive side.

I feel like he is somehow overshadowed by his brother, like people are comparing and expecting him to be on the same league as Steph despite the former being an all-around efficient league scorer. To be honest, Seth Curry has been performing exceptionally well on his games. He can shoot, dribble, and at least attack the basket with a great finish. People have been sleeping on him and I just wish he can find a team where all of them are comfortable with him shooting.

Jokic just 2 assists short for another tripple double in that game against the Warriors. He may not be athletic unlike other Centers but he is surely one of the craftiest big man to ever play in the league. He's like a guard stuck in a huge body. Is there anyone who plays Center that you could compare his passing skills?

He is just unbelievable especially on the final moments. He can create plays that will make his team efficient and score the basket. During the last and final minutes of the quarter, he was able to create a play that made a comeback from their deficit against the overwhelming and dominant Warriors- Jokic is just a beast on the game.

^ Hassle talaga yan lalo na kung marami siyang pera dun na naipit maliban sa pinagbentahan niya. Kung humingi siya ng confirmation sa buyer na siya mismo yung nagpadala (gamit ibang pangalan) or at least hinintay niya na mag-message yung buyer na naipadala na niya (gamit ibang pangalan), lusot na lusot siya diyan.

I think nagkagulo-gulo na nun natanggap ni seller yung pera from person B, especially na doon nagkada leche leche yung transaction. Dahil dito, may scapegoat si Buyer na pwede niya lagi i-claim na hindi siya bumili ng SLP kasi hindi naman niya GCash account ang ginamit.

Mga ganitong types of deals, sobrang sketchy at delikado especially na ang hirap i-prove talaga kung kanino naggaling yung pera. Ngayon at may nag-claim na na-hach pa ang FB account, hindi ko alam kung paano ma reresolve ito pero I am somehow confident na tinitignan ito in a case-to-case basis.
2477  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will be accepted for tax payments in Colorado on: February 17, 2022, 04:34:47 PM
Governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, announced in an interview with CNBC[1] that people will be able to pay their state tax using Bitcoin from around mid-2022, with plans of including the option to pay for most other things from the state such as licenses a few months after that.

They won't be holding any bitcoin though, they will be converting Bitcoin to USD at the exact moment they receive it.

This seems reasonable on their point of view especially considering that the realm of cryptocurrencies is starting to dominate our finances. Though the only problem that I see is that, this could either make or break the profit of the government since these BTCs will be converted as soon as the former receives it.

I do think that they are somehow missing the opportunity of at least investing 10-40% of the these BTCs for long-term. Given the fact that BTCs may soon takeover our finances, this move can spark the interest of other countries to do the same thing.

It's best if you talk and make some deal with manager Hhampuz.
He can manage your promotional campaign in this forum and I think he is working with some designers for creating ANN pages.
This is best deal you can make for your betting website.

Hhampuz profile:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=881377


I vouch for notblox1 recommendation we all know that you are on unfamiliar territory and the best shortcut for this is to get a good manager to advise you on how to proceed here in Bitcointalk, Hhampuz has worked with a lot of tops and popular casinos on their marketing campaign launching signature campaign will do wonder on your campaign here in Bitcointalk.

It definitely says a lot if a project is being managed by a trusted campaign manager in the forum. Not only does the campaign manager vouch for its legitimacy, but it also implies that the project has a good foundation, worthy to be reviewed and managed by a person who is arguably the best campaign manager.

Almost all projects that require exposure needs at least to have an ongoing signature campaign, if not, at least a promotional activity. This will definitely attract persons who are also not members of this forum due to the ongoing traffic that it receives daily.
2479  Economy / Economics / Re: One nation one currency... on: February 14, 2022, 06:14:23 PM
Every country in the world wants to launch their own currency but no country like Bitcoin will be able to create their own currency. The task is done by converting the currency of one country into the currency of another if other currencies are more established and widely used then perhaps this currency will become quite stable. This is the reason why most developing countries rely so heavily on the currencies of the first world powers the us dollar bitcoin is so popular because it is not stable.

Your statements are somehow confusing- one currency across all countries may seem impossible due to the fact that it would be prejudicial to all countries.

Imagine, the value of such currency would depend upon so many factors that a hegemonic country would be the total basis of such. Third-world countries would be heavily prejudiced in this kind of system especially if developed countries can somehow manipulate the price as they will be considered 'whales.'

As per BTC, it cannot become a currency due to its inflationary value and nature. Imagine that gold were to be come the currency of the world- a non-renewable resources; so its prices would obviously skyrocket.
2480  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING]: RYAN GARCIA vs EMMANUEL TAGOE - April 9 on: February 14, 2022, 06:01:08 PM
Garcia is younger and his career is being hyped by Goldenboy, it wouldn't be surprising that he is matched to an old boxer that seem willing to lose. Just my hunch though. But this Emmanuel though I have no idea who he is looks very experience.

I'll still be rooting for Garcia. This match is designed to make Garcia look promising.

Oscar De La Hoya of the Golden Boy Promotions is the brain behind Garcia's fights, making him as a functional cash cow. This fight though is just an interim while Oscar negotiates Lou DiBella (G. Kambosos Jr's promoter) in the meantime given that Garcia will defeat Tagoe first.

Emmanuel (33 years old) is much more experienced than Garcia though with 33 bouts and 15 of that via KO, so yeah much more lower KO rate than Garcia and unfortunately the latter will just be a stepping stone to the rising star.

As someone who has watched fights of Ryan Garcia on the ring, his explosiveness, accuracy, and long-reach is what makes him an exceptional fighter. Like what you have mentioned, De La Hoya is somehow making Garcia the next 'golden boy' on the ring as he is being promoted every time he fights.

According to boxrec, Emmanuel Tagoe is definitely an experienced fighter on the ring. With 32W (15KOs) and only 1 loss, he is someone that cannot be taken lightly, even if you are Ryan Garcia. Though experience would be key in this match, I do have my bet to Ryan Garcia primarily due to the fact that his punches are more explosive.
