Anonymity isn't anything good, especially not in the cryptocurrency world. To be honest, I feel definitely safer when I use a cryptocurrency exchange with mandatory registration and verification. It's all about users' safety. Now I use CoinDeal and I'm glad that every user need to be fully verified to trade. It makes me calm. So, if we were anonymous everywhere on the internet, it would be a huge risk of scams etc That really sounds like a piece of sarcasm to me Mandatory registration and verification are not in the least a guarantee against scams (if that was your point). So your feeling of safety is false and not based on anything real. And as others already said, the personal information you provide at registration can be stolen or just sold to interested parties, whatever those might be. Do you still feel how that makes you calm? Maybe I misunderstood the statements of a person, but it seemed to me that we are talking about the possibilities of protecting the right to property, if you can prove that you own not only some account on the exchange, but also a wallet with cryptocurrency, where it was verified and provided personal data. If you take for example the My Ether Wallet wallet, who is the owner, who actually has a password, a file key or a secret key, but it is almost impossible to determine the original owner. And if the account or wallet is registered by email, and personal data is recorded, then by means of a trial you can prove not only that you are the owner, but also protect your rights on other issues Yes, it may work, in theory But in practice I have yet to see even a single case where it helped to get the money from your balance back even if you could actually prove the ownership. How many exchanges which required verification had scammed or been hacked in the past few years? Did this verification helped to retrieve the stolen coins, apart from personal info being stolen too? We are living in the real world, worts and all, not some KYC lalaland |

Есть один нюанс: как и в случае с акциями которые растут или держаться в цене если их покупают и падают если их продают, а с учетом того что акции ОАО США печатаются все быстрее и быстрее может настать момент когда желающих купить станет меньше чем желающих продать С Дону выдачи нет А акции обратно не продашь. Другими словами, продать их можно только по рынку и рынку, а не их эмитенту. Ну технически возможен обратный выкуп акций, но в данном случае это не имеет особого значения, поскольку такая продажа будет обменом шила на мыло, ибо ценник все равно ведь в долларах. Ну в принципе можно попытаться кому-то впарить неликвид и за рубли (ну пусть будет евро), только Штатам от этого ни холодно ни жарко. Как-то так получается А так как доллары как вы верно заметили еще и самая важная статья экспорта, то им в пору задуматься о диверсификации своей экономики А зачем, если есть условный 6-ой флот? Вот его и диверсифицируют по мере необходимости |

The remaining 1% are those who are making a living from gambling.
That's means gambling industry are so rich because they take the 99% chance of making money compared to only 1% of their gamblers who make a living in gambling. I don't know what percentage exactly but I do believe it's possible to make a living in gambling and 1% is just too small, maybe like 5%, but like I said, I really don't know because I myself is not making a living in gambling although in the past I tried to find ways to make it possible, but failed. Its hard to determine the rate, but it's easy to determine who really are making profit in gambling, and it's non other than the gambling operators. Aiming to make gambling as a living is a hard job, maybe the hardest kind of job in this world as we know that majority of the gamblers loses over time. If we have enough capital, maybe the easiest way to make a living in gambling is just to start our own casino or gambling sites. Contrary to the popular belief , casinos don't have huge profit margin. From my experience , they have less than 10%, after they pay all the taxes and licenses, and taxes for these kind of business are quite high. Truth to be told,i worked in Europe where taxes on these things are quite high, some specific places like Vegas or Macau might have lower taxes. So it is not so easy, to just open casino and make easy money I guess the question raised in this topic is more about online casinos As it appears, they also should register their business somewhere as you can see references to places like Curacao (which seems to be a casino paradise). But other than that, I don't think you will have to pay any taxes as it would be hard to independently confirm the profits earned by a particular casino (though I can be wrong, of course). But it is still an interesting question to learn what their expenses are in this department (license costs, taxes, etc) |

There are casinos in Europe that take bitcoin, and yes I m ;)ean physical casinos.
Check out Austria Casinos
Exactly, the idea isn't that outrageous. Just like we can purchase products from stores using BTC, physical casinos would/should also accept BTC in order to capture more of its customers The analogy itself seems correct But the conclusion that we can draw from it is definitely not in favor of real casinos starting to accept Bitcoin. How many merchants do you know that actually accept Bitcoin? I mean directly, without the use of services offered by payment processing companies like BitPay and their likes. I don't think that many, if any at all. How come? People not willing to pay with their bitcoins, obviously. So why should things be different with bricks-and-mortar casinos, especially when you have a ton of online ones? |

A project like Libra will generally give users the opportunity to gain independence in managing their finances. Perhaps this is precisely the main problem for governments, and not some kind of impact on the economy But that will inevitably have a huge impact on the world economy With a lot of unintended consequences and complex ramifications since governments won't be anymore able to print money like there's no tomorrow (what the monetary use of virtually anything but fiat comes down to). This will mean the whole modern economics paradigm shift, not some minor changes here and there This is what governments are scared of. Whether this paradigm shift will be for good or bad on the whole is another question, but what is beyond question here is the gravity of the situation if Libra or anything like it (read, Bitcoin) takes off for real (unlikely but still) |

I agree that we don't need anonymity. But, we shouldn't be controlled. So, I like the decentralization part a lot. And not interested about anonymity. I have nothing to hide and no one to fear Well, I tend to somewhat disagree with this view Everyone has their little secrets which they don't want to share with anyone, including friends, relatives or even their partner. And that's normal since otherwise the life would simply be unbearable. But these little secrets and tiny lies seem impossible without a certain level of anonymity, and still more so in financial matters (since we are talking mostly about crypto here). But if there is no anonymity, there will inevitably be some tools of control installed as these things are inseparable (though the connection may not be very obvious and straightforward) |

I have worked for a few years in a casino and I couldn't help but imagine that people should be able to gamble with bitcoin.
Is it already happening? - I don't mean on the internet
And do you think this will be future of casinos?
Traditional casinos will never go away if that's what you are asking, there are a lot of gamblers who prefers to play live and see the action right in front of them. Others use it as their bonding time with their colleague or business partners or would be business partners. Online casino maybe booming right now as it is a workaround for people who wants to play and remain anonymous or to those who lives in areas where gambling is illegal And it is not only about that With online gambling you don't have to leave your home, your couch or armchair, while you can't build a casino for every neighborhood even if it was legal. It is pretty much like cinemas and watching movies online. How many people are now going to theaters? To put it differently, online casinos are for the lazy types and in this respect it is not so much a workaround as a natural development taking advantage of the Internet technologies (and cryptography) |

Isn't it a bit weird, that the daily contest is being dominated by accounts registered two months before the wolf.bet announcement here (the wolfbet account on bitcointalk wasn't even registered)? Something fishy might be going on Why not then simply hide their names via appropriate privacy settings? That would be even weirder. You're telling me that before there was any mention of the site here or on any social media, the new dice site managed to attract two high rollers in the span of 24h, and those two high rollers went on to dominate the daily competition for several months? Color me skeptical Why would that be even weirder? You can hide your account name via changing your privacy settings, the effect of which you can see for yourself in the screenshots you provided. Truth be told, I'm not even sure what is weird in two old accounts being active again as they may have been active all that time (though not actively gambling). They were not necessarily high rollers back in the day. You just keep telling that something is fishy at wolf.bet but don't tell what exactly. Are you that guy who questioned the veracity of the number of bets made in so short a time span? Hope someone of that high rollers comes here and makes a statement You seem a bit slow, so let me put it more bluntly. I'm not questioning the number of bets, I'm questioning the fact that the only accounts that appear to be winning the daily wagering contest are those, that are probably linked to the owner / are the owner's. But since you're on the site's payroll, I guess it is your job not to understand such things But does it make any sense? Really, why would the owner or accounts linked to the owner participate in that contest? Well, I may be a bit slow, but to me it doesn't make any sense. But perhaps, I'm missing something here. Care to explain? Regardless, if the owners really wanted something to that tune (say, to attract public attention), it would be plain stupid to use the same accounts every day (if this is the case indeed). More likely, these are just some random folks with deep pockets exploiting the opportunity to earn dough while there is not a lot of competition |

Btw, @Wolf.bet support here, beside dice game which is already available on the wolf.bet, it is possible that we can see more upcoming games like some crash game, roulette, blackjack, etc. ? I can't wait for it.
I have a feeling, that wolf.bet will be only dice oriented. Do you think wolf.bet needs other games? Take a look on primedice.com. It has quite similar UI and is working for ages with dice game only. I think Wolf is having the same strategy plan. PrimeDice is what its name suggests That is, it is about dice (whether prime or otherwise is open to discussion, though). It's been that way since 2013 (if I'm not mistaken). But if you are looking for other games which are run by the same people, you should look into stake.com. Essentially, Stake is what PrimeDice would be with all that fancy stuff like blackjack, plinko, roulette, etc, and, ironically, even dice itself Isn't it a bit weird, that the daily contest is being dominated by accounts registered two months before the wolf.bet announcement here (the wolfbet account on bitcointalk wasn't even registered)? Something fishy might be going on Why not then simply hide their names via appropriate privacy settings? Or just use a dummy account recently registered? |

Так что вероятность доллару стоить 30 рублей близка к нулю. Я думаю, что как только он подойдет (если подойдет) к отметке в 60 рублей за штуку, наш Центробанк насчет массовую скупку американских денежных знаков (ибо дураков нет). Это перед выборами 2018 года доллар немного опустили и, как я и говорил, надо было закупаться баксом на всю рублевую котлету Если еще пару тройку подконтрольных америкосам заводов нефтяных жахнут, то есть вероятность, что рубль подымиться с возрастает в разы к доллару. А если еще вооружат Иран ПВО нашими  то 1 к 1 будет, как не крути  (сарказм канешь, но а вдруг как в сказке) Рубль возрастет в разы к доллару? Это означает, что доллар упадет к рублю, что ли? У американцев своей нефти хоть залейся, а если где не хватает (ну логистика дорогая, например), то они всегда могут купить у Канады или Мексики, т.е. у ближайших соседей. Уже давно прошли те времени, когда ценность бакса зависела от избытка или дефицита нефти - как это было, например, в 70-х годах прошлого века, когда персидские монархии объявили Штатам нефтяное эмбарго за то, что те поддержали евреев в их терках с арабами. Любой дефицит нефти Штаты сейчас легко покроют собственным производством |

If we have enough capital, maybe the easiest way to make a living in gambling is just to start our own casino or gambling sites Nowadays, it is no less a daunting task than winning in such a casino If you follow the Services section of the forum, now and then you see new casinos entering the spotlight and recruiting forum members to post with their signatures. After a few weeks of advertising most of them disappear to never to be seen or heard of again. What does it tell us? I guess that the competition in the field is extremely tight up to a point of brutal, and even if you have enough funds to start it off, it doesn't mean you are going to succeed as you also need a lot of expertise in, for example, running a business I tried to making a living at playing blackjack. I lost a lot of money. And I'm an amazing blackjack player too, to the point that I have to worry about casino surveillance and they're tactics to interfere with the outcomes of my game play. I'm talking about real world casinos. The only way to gamble professionally is to "Hit and Run". Play for no more than 1 hour per gambling session. The longer you gamble the more likely that you'll lose Totally agree with this attitude In fact, that's what I've been telling here myself. Unless you are playing for fun and personal enjoyment only (read, you are paying for the thrill and excitement with the money you lose gambling), your only chance is to hit a lucky strike and then run away immediately without looking back, ever. It is not uncommon to win big but it is not less uncommon to succumb to the desire to win more and more that leads to a fiasco |

I have worked for a few years in a casino and I couldn't help but imagine that people should be able to gamble with bitcoin Truth be told, I've never been to a real casino I mean a real one, not some room with slot machines and similar stuff. But from what I know (okay, from what I've seen in the movies) people don't use cash there directly. Casinos use gaming chips, i.e. small discs used instead of paper money and coins. Then you can redeem the chips (provided you have any left, of course) for real cash. To me, Bitcoin would be cumbersome to exchange these chips for in these circumstances There are already tons of casino games that we could play using crypto you only need to know the website.
And there are also some people who use some online games to gamble and have fun for example tongits go and other kinds of apps too OP asks about real casinos (think Las Vegas here) |

It seems to me like altcoins are losing theirs to Ethereum. Just a few altcoins has been doing good as of recent, like BNB. Ethereum keeps growing in market cap and others keeps on losing.
Ethereum looks very strong, much stronger than other altcoins. I can't find a single chart that compares. Sentiment is lovely too. Everyone keeps saying "Ethereum is worthless cuz no ICO bubble".......clearly most people have sold or shorted it. My bet is that 2020 will be very bullish for altcoins. People are betting that Ethereum will falter in the next bull market, that something shiny and new will take all the spotlight from it. Looking at the ETH charts though, I doubt it. Flippening talk will come back. ETH 2.0 will be coming early January 2020 so maybe after that we can see altcoins starting to recover and bounce back after a disappointing 2018-2019. ICO's are dead now because we have a new emerging business model, IEO This release is not set in stone People were expecting Constantinople earlier this year (in the first days of January, if I'm not mistaken). It just didn't happen. It looks like Ethereum has become too complex to change anything in it without risking to wreak havoc in the whole infrastructure. In other words, it is easier to create a new coin from scratch than to rebuild an existing one (but that's the route the Ethereum developers seem to have taken anyway, or some variety thereof) |

Even if you form a group of 100 people that holds a total of 10 BTC, but one person can beat you when he holds 100 btc, that's the logic here And it is not only that The wealthier people are (i.e. the more coins they hold) the less likely are they to cooperate with anyone to "fight whales". Such "fight clubs" are formed not to fight anybody but to take money from their members, this way or another (as they are typically organized to "pump" some shitcoin). And it is not unlikely that someone from those 100 people will secretly take advantage of them (most certainly, the puppet master) |

Seems right, they have a lot of update and added some new feature on the wolf.bet last September 19, 2019
After 2 days of that new features and update added, the signature campaign has started to look some participants.
For sure they just waited this as what @Zwei said on last day of the first roud sig. campaign and they did this another new round of campaign. Very good job, wolf.bet team! They have also enabled the Russian language support (with a little help from me) All I can say is that signature ads work. I haven't gambled for 2 or 3 years, came back to the forum to buy some AWS codes, saw the wolfbet signatures and ended up losing a few hundred doges LOL The betting speed in the Autobet mode is fantastic I have yet to see a casino that would come close to such speeds. The best that I have seen is like 1 roll per second (though I don't know how fast you can bet via API). At wolf.bet I can get more like 3 bets a second, though it slows down a little after a few hours of continual betting. I'm running a martingale setup in a separate instance of Chrome but I still have to restart it now and then. Hope this will be fixed soon |

If Libra project is implemented, it will definitely disrupt the Financial system as USD, EURO and other foreign currencies might lose relevancy. I am of the opinion the project will be launched in year 2020 as they have all the arsenal to lobby their way and get approval
How the United States Dollar will lose its relevance, when Libra itself is a digital version of the USD? If the information about having USD backup is accurate, then Libra will end up strengthening the US Dollar and weakening all other fiat currencies including JPY, EUR, CNY and GBP (provided these countries allow Libra to be used in their territories Agree with this view 100% A while ago there was a heated discussion in the Russian subforum where I tried to explain to folks that Libra can't possibly undermine the US dollar (or whatever) as long as it is just a token (a stable coin in the crypto newspeak) representing that dollar (and a bunch of other currencies, as it seems). In other words, all of Libra's value comes through the value of the currencies it is set to represent (read, it doesn't have a value of its own). But my words fell mostly on deaf ears. If you are interested in that discussion, you can read the whole thing starting from here |

Они пришли на хайпе когда крипта была у всех на слуху, поэтому вкидывали деньги, свои и заемные, кредитные. Теперь они не приходят потому что нет той обстановки и тех огромных процентов. Когда хайп начнется снова они все опять придут за легкими деньгами.
Те кто встрял после прошлого хайпа уже вряд ли поведутся на новый хайп. Должен инстинкт сработать, что нельзя наступать на те же грабли Инстинкт не сработает, вспомните как в МММ участвовали такие же люди и каждый перезапуск, сколько их стартовало, приходили по большому счету примерно те же самые люди у которых еще были деньги. В крипту идут также не понимая что это такое, люди лезут за легкой наживой, не понимая что это тяжелый труд. Кстати да, может я и ошибаюсь про инстинкт. МММ действительно отличный пример, как люди наступали на грабли второй раз, в надежде что это вылечит их от первого удара граблями Про то есть правильная народная мудрость Которая гласит, что нельзя войти в одну и ту же реку дважды (это типа китайская мудрость), а вот наступить на те же самые грабли - всегда пожалуйста (а это уже отечественная мудрость). С другой стороны, что первые вкладчики МММ, что первые вложенцы в криптохайп достаточно неплохо поднялись (из тех, кто потом успел вовремя соскочить), а это вызывает неукротимые приливы стойкой ненависти (зачеркнуто) зависти, что и приводит к постоянному хождению по граблям Ушло дейсвительно много народа как просто с инвестирования, так и с баунти. В баунти к сожалению всё меньше и меньше вообще заработка, не проводятся ICO больше вообще, а тем кто запускается IEO им все эти баунти уже и не нужны, их сама биржа уже рекламирует. Поэтому остаются всяке только редкие крошки, которые среди постоянных скамов еще и выбирать приходится очень тяжело Дотком тоже случился только один раз |
