2461  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto dump is just getting started? on: November 16, 2022, 08:51:50 PM

We all know that Bitcoin will increase in the future and reach the value it deserves, and you are right about this. The real question here is, will the investor be able to wait for the duration that will pass? While there is a problem in the world every month, there is a great uncertainty. This is one of the things that makes people nervous.
Those people who feel nervous are those who are not invested in Bitcoin or those who are lack of trust in crypto.

Whether you are going to believe it or not, whales are just playing us, doubters and panic sellers, because they are taking advantage of us. I know we can't erase the possible scenario of panic selling because not all are willing to hold their coins. The price will dump and be heavily affected by them but you know what, it is only their regrets when the bear season is over.
If you do not trust bitcoin, that doesn't take away anything from bitcoin, but it does take away a lot from you in the long run, that's the thing they do not understand. If you know what you are doing, then you should be able to do it properly without a problem, but only if you know what you are doing.

People who let their emotions take control when they are trading or investing will not be able to profit no matter what. I personally do not let my emotions dictate anything, even if I am insanely scared, I see that as a good sign to buy instead of sell. Many people who know that long term holding is a great way to profit, could buy and then end up selling when the price goes down because they are scared.
2462  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's on! 2024 US Presidential Election Biden+Harris Vs Trump Bitcoin betting.... on: November 16, 2022, 08:17:03 PM
If I am honest.... I would rather want to see Kamala Harris having an opportunity to be President of the United States. She is level headed and she comes from humble beginnings and she went through the ranks.

You cannot have a trigger happy celebrity as a President or one that cannot remember what he had for breakfast.  Roll Eyes I cannot believe that the voters are even voting for these two idiots.  Roll Eyes   Put Kamala Harris on there and I will bet on it with all the money I have... because I think she will be a good President.  Wink
There is a big chance that Kamala could end up being the president this or next term if Biden keeps going. It's easy to just see her as the president even right now, because Biden doesn't look like he is really making any sensible sentences when he speaks, how could he be the ruler right now.

However, democracy is not like that, the president doesn't really have any power, USA is a true democracy and that’s why people love it so much. Which means, you gotta have the supreme court, and a lot of courts undernearth to make good decisions.

Just look abortion situation, dems controlling house, dems tied at senate with kamala breaking the tie, dems have the vice president and the president, all the power in their hands and abortion was still made state rights during their period because supreme court was appointed by republicans. So it doesn't matter who wins, as long as they end up with no total power.
2463  Other / Off-topic / Re: Life lessons from Bill gates and how it could make you a successful entrepreneur on: November 16, 2022, 04:52:45 PM
Bill Gates was lucky enough to be an early adopter of silicon valley and the massive tech bubble that would eventually form around the dot com sector. That was the main reason for his fast track to wealth and success. Being in the right place at the right time. Bill Gates himself had no idea that microsoft or windows would someday grow to become the major successes they became. He's basically a guy who received 1,000 bitcoin when it was worth nothing. And was later shocked and surprised when his 1,000 btc massively appreciated in value.
Let’s not forget the fact that he was already in sillicon valley and his parents were so rich that they literally bought a few computers and hired a computer teacher for his high school so that "all" kids there but mainly Bill would learn about computers at a young age. Which allowed him and his friend to spend insane amount of hours to learn what computer is and how it could be improved.

Not to forget he definitely copied a lot of technology while doing that, just as we would when we build websites and just use others code, but that is mainly how he succeeded. Sure, he could also be a rebel and do drugs and never be interested in computers even when he had the chance, so kudos to him for not doing the wrong thing I guess?
2464  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: November 15, 2022, 09:08:10 PM
I think that all of players in barcelona would become threat for another team as long as they were all playing so well. I meant you can see that in a few matches if barcelona was struggling to earn the points if it's not lewandowski who has been saving barcelona from draw or lose.
Xavi may still continue to be a coach in barcelona once barcelona will able to win a trophy. that being said that if barcelona is focusing to win la liga. it seems like that europa league was not become the main priority for barcelona right now.
They are already good, they are already leading the league as well. People are looking at them like they are not that good only because they lost to Inter, otherwise they are really good. Look at the league, they are above Real Madrid right now and I believe they are going to keep being that good for a long time as well.

People need to realize that we are talking about something major here, being better than Real Madrid in the league is a huge deal and it won't be that easy to pass neither. Just realize how good that is for sure, and you will definitely end up with a great win in the long run. That’s of course my personal believe, and Barcelona is a great team to me.

This is such an easy thing to forget about when you are reading someone who wrote very well. There could be people who write something so logical that you may read and say "wow this must be true, very well written, here are all the proof" but then you lose money, because the "proof" wasn't really a proof because you didn't check.

It could be like "here is a test made on 15 thousand people and this is the result", but you don't know if that is really done or was it just made up. That is why when you are reading something, it cannot be impacting your trading, if it does then there is a good chance you could end up losing all of your money and you should avoid it because of that.
2466  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would the world be if Bitcoin wasn't created on: November 14, 2022, 07:08:22 PM
Honestly? I do not think that the whole world in general would have that much of a big difference. It is another industry that hires people, there are tens of thousands of people who work and make an income, and there are thousands who made millions of dollars worth of profit and got rich.

However, all of that money usually came from someone else, which means they did not really change the amount of money available in the world, and that is why I doubt that it would make a big difference in the world generally. It is just something that would have been like how it was before crypto was invented, and it would go on like that without interruption. My life certainly would be 10 times worse Cheesy so happy crypto exists.
2467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your opinion on casinos that don't have ANN threads in the forum? on: November 14, 2022, 06:39:12 PM
I haven't gambled in any casino (at least after got into cryptos) that doesn't have an ANN here but not because of a principle or something, but because I just learn about new casinos here, this is the place where I get to hear about them. If I somehow learned about a new casino by like some friend suggesting or something and not see the ANN here, I wouldn't mind that neither.

The reason is not like some sort of "if there is no ANN here then I won't gamble there!!" type of deal, I don't put bitcointalk to pedestal like that. I just don't look around for a brand new casino online everywhere, I only come here, which is why I can't learn about any other casino if they are not here neither.
2468  Economy / Speculation / Re: There will be more down - bearish on BTC on: November 14, 2022, 06:09:32 PM
I really doubt this. It looks like the market is trying to overcorrect itself when it tries to go up and then it causes a bit smaller crashes as a response. But, just keep at it and you will realize that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the price and it could go up. Just allow it to go up slowly, and have patience and I promise you that the price will be 20k+ very soon.

Many people react to these falls with panic, and they end up selling when they should be buying, which of this causes trouble for them. There is a good chance we could end up with a good deal if we buy right now and just wait for it to go up, it is so low that there isn't really any bad side to it.

Freebitco.in has been here since the early days of bitcoin has gained massive trust from the community.
Besides that, not everyone holds a huge amount of money on freebitco.in. Many of them just have an amount for gambling here.
So it's not much of a risk in that perspective. Also, freebitco.in keeps a lot of transparency as @Juggy777  have mentioned.
Freebitco.in is here to stay for long.
We can technically even say that it is proven as well. I mean of course "it will not bankrupt" is not something you can really prove, any business in the world could go bankrupt, even tesla/amazon/apple size companies could go bankrupt if we are looking at it from the technicality stand point.

However, if we are being realistic, freebitco.in has been around for many many years, and they have been getting attacked probably every day of that period and still keep everything safe and secure no matter what happens. Which is a great proof that no matter what happens, they have the funds to back it up and not going to get screwed and fail to pay people back.
2470  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2022/23 Season on: November 14, 2022, 03:05:38 PM
People reacting to just one week doesn't really see the whole picture. Just because Fener lost once, and GS had a great game against a big team, doesn't mean that after just one week GS is a better team, doesn't mean they were worse beforehand neither. These two teams are equally good, and they are playing equally good games as well, Fener even has more games to play which is harder for them, but at the end of the day they are equally good.

It means, one of them will be the champion, and I don't know which one, but that will not make the other one bad, just because you fail to get the championship doesn't mean you were bad, it means the other team was better, it still doesn't make you any lesser.
How do you know that one of these two teams will win the championship? There are at least 3 more ambitious teams competing for the championship. This season, the league will run for 36 weeks. There is such a long way to go that anything can happen at any moment. It's only been played for 13-14 weeks. Towards the end of the season, everything can change in an instant, so it would be a big mistake to speak early. We have seen what teams are said to be playing well, they suddenly fell out of the league. The teams that were at the top of the league at the beginning of the league regressed to the middle ranks. The league is a long marathon and the champion is often determined by small differences. It would be a big mistake to declare Fenerbahçe or Galatasaray champions as early as November.
When you watch from afar, it is easy to distinguish all the teams. If I was a fan of any team there, I would hope that my team would be good too, but I am not, and I only gamble there and I can see the games and the results, so I can easily say objectively that it's either FB or GS that will win the title and nobody else has the chance.

If you think other teams have the chance then you can believe what you want to believe, but looking at the quality of the teams and how they are playing, it is very clear to every non-Turkish league fan and follower that there are only 2 teams who have played amazingly all season and has the chance to win very much so, because they are so much better.

2472  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Earn Bitcoin while Playing Games on: November 13, 2022, 08:44:32 PM
Well, if I will choose between playing games and doing bounty hunting, I'd rather do this one especially I'm fond of playing any kind of games and I always have time for it.

Is there anybody who tried to play on these games and tried to withdraw already? Any experiences with regards to those games whether it is positive or negative. At least in that way, we will know what we will expect with these games that are paying Bitcoin. Anyway, I'm a big fan of Solitaire ever since I'm a kid because of the built-in solitaire game in my PC way back a decade ago so I might try and give the Solitaire one a try Cheesy.
That is true for everyone, of course everyone would rather play games to make money than join bounties however it is not a long term thing. Look at axie and how it crashed, not because of the market or anything, it crashed before that and of course the bear market made it impossible for it to recover. But the mindset is the same, games will always crash until they fix one thing which is "how do you sell and not drop in price".

Games will have tokens that pay you, and you earn that by playing, and after you earn it then you sell it, and there needs to be a lot of buyers to keep the price up. Unfortunately that is not always that much possible, most games don2t have that many buyers.

This topic should be kept alive for all the big name injuries after the world cup as well. I know there are many websites that track the injuries and such, but having one here would be great too because before we wager, sometimes we forget to check the injury list, but we are always here chatting with people meaning that we could potentially see this and remember to check the injury list.

About Mane, I think he will be ready to play "sometime" during the world cup, that’s the situation he has, maybe miss the group stages and be ready for 16, not sure really what’s going to happen, but I think it would be wise to assume he is completely out. And that’s okay, they weren't winning the world cup with him neither, it won't change too much.
2474  Economy / Gambling / Re: Roobet.com | Crypto’s Fastest Growing Casino 🦘 on: November 13, 2022, 06:45:07 PM
Pretty sure that it is limited to only one, otherwise people would be abusing this by betting all those potentially top 4 teams but still though getting a team to win 6 games to get $30 back in free bet is hard so just treat it as an extra promotions though. You might potentially win your outright bet alongside with all those free bets from the promotions
That's why if you're going to participate in this promotion you have to think deeply on what country could dominate the world cup to have a chances to get more $5 for each winning. Yes it's a bit hard but if you happen to bet on the right country, that's satisfying. Anyway, probably some of us can't afford to risk $30 (specially the average gamblers) but if you're open for a challenge and a fan of FIFA then it's worth to try, who knows right? Just have less expectation.
I am sure many people could afford $30, that is not a lot of money even in the poorest nations to be fair, not small change neither, depending on where you live that could be as high as a weekly grocery store, or an electricity bill paid, but it is still not "a lot" in the sense that it is not rent money in almost any nation, maybe 1-3% of the world would have that as rent.

However, it is still not a smart decision to put that into world cup if you don't have it. I will certainly try it, England and France and Brazil, these three look like they could actually do something and it really feels like we could end up with a good return if we wager on these three nations.
2475  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 13, 2022, 01:45:42 PM
Napoli is so difficult to catch now at the top of the standings, they are really a great team playing well this season, no one expected this club, especially the clubs below them are 11 points adrift of Lazio who are ranked 2nd and AC Milan are ranked 3rd with points the same 30, I think Napoli deserve to win the italian league this season
I have to agree, nobody expected them to be 11+ points ahead, realistically there will be games played today which will make that 11 points less, but still even at best case 8 points is huge.

I have to say they are taking the gap bigger and bigger constantly, at first it wasn't this big but the more games are played the better they are looking. Obviously more games would mean more gap when we are talking about the best teams, but Napoli wasn't expected to be like that, everyone expected them to be the team that will eventually start to lose (me included) and the difference would grow smaller and they would do worse eventually, but they proved us wrong and kept doing awesome.

Magnussen got very very lucky but it is also important how long they could keep that luck. It is understandable after such a situation why Mick Schumacher doesn't have any team offers, I am upset that Daniel Ricciardio doesn't have a contract neither and Mick too, both racers I really like, but Mick became 20th in a qualify that his teammate became first, sure the first was just a pure luck I don't deny that but being in Q3 wasn't luck, that part was talent whereas Mick became the very last.

Now it’s very important for Magnussen to keep that position as long as possible, of course other teams will pass him, there is no doubt and he won't be first, but how low he will go down is the key here, being 5th for example would be awesome, being in top 10 is not achievement when you start at the pole, so top 5 should be the aim when they have such a once in a million time chance.
2477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 12, 2022, 04:51:02 PM
Napoli players managed to continue their dominance against Udinese from the start of the match. They are playing well today as in previous matches. And if they win today's match, they will go almost 11 points ahead of the second placed team in the table. And it will be Napoli's 13th win. Napoli players are performing cautiously in today's match. As the World Cup is just a few days away, players do not want to face injuries now. And so I think today Napoli will probably not win by more goals. Napoli will win 1-0 or 2-1.
It’s obvious that they are going to lose "eventually" but the fact that they are still dominating whoever they are playing against is a great and marvellous thing.

I know that it’s going to take a while before they could ever be a great team for the long term, I am sure even if they are champions this year, most of their players will be sold for tens of millions of euro and they will spend that money to build a new team because you can't keep these players in napoli who can't pay insane salaries when there are European clubs willing to pay double what napoli can offer. But this domination will be written in their history and they should be proud of such a season.

"Is the bear market over? Hard to say, but a lot of the bad news was priced in. With a maximum drawdown of -28%, SPX discounted 85% of a typical 33% market decline and 78% of a recession bear market. I still like the 1946 counterpart-"

The bear market is not over, the market is still in a downturn, and it is still in a period of uncertainty. The crypto market rally seems to take more time to recover.
I do believe that it is one of the easiest things to understand, it’s not that complicated. If the price goes double, that is a big bull indicator that says you are in the bull run, and I doubt we would need anything else.

What was the lowest at this point, somewhere close to 16k right? That means if you go 32k+ dollars that is a bull run, and I do not care if it goes down after that or not, it was a bull run to have a double from the bottom and I will always call it as such. After that it will probably keep on going and do a triple or even quadrable over the bottom as well and that will be the new ATH eventually, but until that a double will equal to being in bull run.
2479  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 11, 2022, 08:14:32 PM
Dortmund is a big name in the Bundesliga,  Dortmund as a team is supposed to be competing with Bayern Munich.  One of the reasons I can't say Dortmund is really doing good is because sometimes it is hard to predict what will be the out come of their game. Their position in the standings is not bad, but teams like Dortmund supposed to be among the top 3 teams with high points. The performance of Dortmund is not the best for the club, they need to improve to do better 
They are still big, they had a very unfortunate situation with their striker, he got cancer and that’s a very sad thing, I really hope he gets better and even plays again one day but for now it is not possible as we can see. That means they were left with no proper option after the transfer window was closed and that is a hard thing for a team to adjust.

You don't just lose the main striker and be the same, what would happen if Bayern lost Mane, Real lost Benzema, City lost Haaland? They would all have the same troubles. All in all I have to say they are doing very well all things considered and they should not be really considered as a bad team right now.
2480  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: We Feel All The Emotions When We Gamble on: November 11, 2022, 07:01:32 PM
Feelings are what gambling appeals to. It is the feeling of being entertained with the prospect of winning that many actually gamble. If you are bored, you can also go to the casino and feel the fun. When you lose, you'll have this strong feeling of getting back, of taking revenge against the casino. This is exactly how the casinos would want their clients, to be emotional, to have intense feelings. The effect of casinos to their players is mostly psychological. 
But we should be able to suppress feelings of wanting revenge against the casino because it only makes us suffer more, especially when we spend more money and suddenly you lose. Try to cheer yourself up when you lose and not be too sad because you should already know what the risks of playing gambling are. If you can do that, you will be able to get rid of the negative feelings that will arise if you experience defeat. At least the feeling won't be great because you already know that gambling can give you both wins and losses.
Everyone "knows" that they should stop and not gamble instead of chasing the loss, that’s a common thing and should be known by everyone of course.

However, not everyone really realizes how big we are talking about those emotions could get, and that’s the problem. I am not saying that everyone will fail and just keep on gambling and losing, of course not everyone will do that, but some people will definitely have harder time compared to other people and that’s normal because not everyone is equal mentally. I would be easily stopping, I limit myself and that’s normal but to become like this I had to educate myself very much and not everyone can do it, which is the trouble.
