the benefit of having their token is just so we can participate in their games and also profit when the token is on the market. it sounded no different to other projects actually. there are even casino tokens like that today. betfury, bethash or the earnbet tokens has these properties which are also created by the casino which also have a slot game.

there has to be a new feature for it just to hype it up. but why chose cardano?
2562  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [VIDEO]: Bitcoin Exists Only in Satoshi's Imagination on: July 18, 2021, 08:08:43 AM
It is a fact  that yor address has electronic entry in the form of a number. Number that quantifies/represents the amount of bitcoins.
That's an assumption. The address just represents units of debt. If two people agree that they can debt each other using this system, then they have every right to do so. Just like how dollars represent debt, Bitcoin does too. It has no difference, other than the force of the dollar usage.

If you believe that Bitcoin is an imaginary thing, then you should do this for the dollar too. Although, I believe that the word “imaginary” is subjective. I'd rather call it “intangible”.
You  people  are full of imagination. Bitcoin does not represent debt like dollar. There are no debtors, creditors, loan contracts, or collaterals. Bitcoin is imaginary. In your wallet you hold a number that quantifies imaginary bitcoins. That's all. Watch the video again.

you should know that fiat is not backed by anything in comparison to BTC. if the government declares it no valuable anymore, then it's zero. but who would declare BTC to be of no value? to answer that NO ONE.

Bitcoin is created through a mathematical equation in which miners have to spend energy this at least is hard work not by just printing. the intrinsic value goes up because it's the network of users who ask/bid.




2563  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Cardano overthrow Ethereum? on: July 18, 2021, 05:11:11 AM
Yes, ADA is a potential coin but it is not easy to replace ETH, at least ADA should be able to drop the BNB position so that it has a chance to beat ETH. But that won't be possible though in the future.
Both will not be possible in the near future or in the future, because BNB which is very close to ETH alone has not been able to beat ETH, moreover ADA is still very far from ETH level, as well as defeating BNB, ADA coins still need a breakthrough new so that it can drop BNB, because BNB is now very strong with its BSC support.

must be true. majority of us will likely see the success of BNB close to overthrowing ETH for the fact that almost all ERC20 tokens also have BSC version of it including their own BNB token. by what they are doing, it seems to really have propagated throughout but its price also isn't close to ETH.

most dev today seem to be developing a project aiming to overthrow ETH, even JackDorsey's project was also about bringing down ETH. what have we done to the world mama?  Grin
2564  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Huge gains and still holding ? on: July 18, 2021, 03:59:21 AM

it's probably not greed but because the holder expects more than what it's ATH. it does have an effect on him when the money that he should have in his wallet is draining while he isn't doing something to prevent it.

it's not the first time we see a user who had tried holding an old coin that is still disappointed after years. you need to remind a friend that all coins don't have the demand like Bitcoin. stop him from looking for a coin that will act like Bitcoin in terms of price. there is nothing like it.
2565  Economy / Economics / Re: Will the popularity of cryptocurrency continue? on: July 17, 2021, 03:22:30 PM

few months ago there was a user who said that the population of crypto users is just 1% of the total population of the world.
it could be that we are just concentrating on news media that regularly posts about BTC and its adoption or not minding the news of regular people anymore because certainly if we in crypto are just 1% of the entire population, what price could BTC have if we reach 20%.

with El Salvador adoption though,  i think there could be more than 1% by now.
2566  Economy / Economics / Re: What is better - cryptocurrency trading or investing? on: July 17, 2021, 03:15:05 PM
I have been a day trader but want to know if it’s a good idea to hold bitcoin for long, whether it will be more profitable?

Trading requires a lot of time online and every day I can only be online for about 2 hours, with limited time making me prefer investing than trading, I will choose coins that have the potential to skyrocket at least 10 times a year and there are some that work.

that's exactly what our problems are when we have limited time online. although you could just set it up to bid/sell orders after analyzing the market. it's just not enough though because the market is just very unpredictable. it's one reason i'm just holding BTC when the market gets unpredictable like where we are at today. I could either go up or down abruptly. just holding is the best option when you only have limited time online or better yet move it to stablecoin.

pacquiao still has the punching power. odd will almost triple your money. i'm probably going to give it a try win or lose. it's still Pacquiao. i hope he isn't badly affected by the critics in politics which he collided with a popular president in the country.

on the other hand, Spence is the undisputed champ. you can't just knock the man without struggling. he is also younger, the fatality he can damage while Pacquiao has aged...result could be..

2568  Economy / Economics / Re: BTC is helping out Cubans and Venezuelans on: July 17, 2021, 08:23:32 AM
Well am glad to hear this, reason why btc is a good substitute for fiat, in the case where fiat fail to meet all requirements of it's citizens btc will be a fine substitute to such country from their dying currency,  this must mean the Cubans must need a huge amount of their dying currency to buy btc otherwise how else will they be able to get hold of btc, Am just wondering  Embarrassed
I am glad that bitcoin became more than just a substitute to fiat because it's not just substitute for this people, it's a ladder for them to survive and prosper despite the inability of their government and fiat to help them survive.

it's amazing that a country can still work things out despite the disorder that's happening. i can't believe the mayor of Miami considers an airstrike on Cuba.
the rallies there are caused by Covid19 still which the government can't really do much but to tell the people to stay home.

this country is actually abundant, the people don't go hungry until covid came. i hope BTC can work out on them.
2569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you gambling to make money or just for fun? on: July 16, 2021, 10:22:44 AM
you are going to be having fun and earn if you win. it doesn't all the time for gamblers who are doing sports betting but still, it's fun watching the sports. once you are having fun it becomes a habit also that you are going to be watching schedules of sports matches.

In the past, if I played one or two games, I usually win but I always did continue to bet until all my gain and money will be lost. When I was affected, I changed and only now gamble just during weekends unlike before that I gambled daily,

For whatever reason that we gamble, it is not totally for fun because if it was for fun then it will be regarded as game. Game and gamble are not the same although they might have a symbol bringing them alike but not the same. That symbol is the channel which could either be any of the sports we play, like to watch or discuss or it is the casinos. Therefore, gambling involves playing with money with the aim of making additional money to the one we had while game is the fun type of it that involves no money. So friend if you have reduced your rate of playing gamble maybe as an addict to the usual player that plays during the weekend with few games and wins, it doesn't mean you have found a better way to play and win, no. You may have the times you will be losing too in times to come if you choose the wrong games to put your money on.

when you gamble it's mostly for money. and so it doesn't feel fun when the hard-earned money is lost.  
2570  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't be too desperate to make earning on: July 16, 2021, 04:56:06 AM
...If the mind is not on positive direction it can result to bad outcomes.
What's a positive mindset when it comes to trading? Mindset that you will profit? Isn't that kinda emotional if that's the case and traders should leave them out right? What we should aim for if we enter trading is a calm mind but that's easier said than done.
I don't think that the positive or negative mindset affects the trade so much that the trade is based on it. "Before", I am a negative thinker before and whenever I trade, I don't really expect to gain profit from that trade. All I know is to execute a trading order and nothing to be expected, If I win from that trade I will surely be happy, and If I lose It doesn't really affect me much. It also helps me become careful on how and when to trade so I think that kind of mindset is suitable for me "before". All of this is when I am new to trading a few years ago.

that's easy to do. it doesn't sound like we need a shaman for a guide. there is nothing else to do for our minds to be in the positive direction. from what i understand is that he meant to be a swing trader rather than become a day trader which is harder to learn and make money.

this i think is about the personality of a trader. if he likes adrenaline rush,  he could become a day trader which he could do some risky investment, do binary options or the risky margin with about 100x leverage in a 1-minute TF.

2571  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Billionaire Investor call for crypto regulation on: July 16, 2021, 04:27:27 AM
if he weren't scammed by a defi project he wouldn't be calling this regulation. i have not read anything about Cuban trying to go after the scammer to recover his funds, why?

going after the scammers-criminals i think is a lot easier than regulating crypto. he should know that anyone with a skill can create a token and then list it on a market. the internet is open for everyone just as cryptocurrencies are.
2572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your betting budget on: July 15, 2021, 01:39:51 PM
I kind o like feeling in control of my finances and that means controlling my spending and being very aware of what goes in and what goes out. I normally check my accounts every month and may make a few decisions on what to spend next month if things are not looking correct. One of the things I do is to set aside 10% of my income for things that I really do not need - expensive clothing, gadgets and electronics, books, games,... and part of that is gambling. For me, a reasonable gambling budget is 3 to 5% of my income, although I may allow more if I have some extraordinary income that month. How do you plan your gambling or fun budget?

I live in a backward country, so on the one hand, I have to save a lot, even if I have a certain freedom in money, but in fact I don't do it. I believe that the positive emotions received here and now is undoubtedly a profitable investment than a ghostly profit from money set aside for the future. Naturally I'm talking about family fun, not personal. I spend a small percentage of money from signature campaigns or other unplanned income on personal entertainment.

saving a lot myself as well. the only i would gamble are the ones i earn here in the forum. i rarely bet $50 for a match that i think i will win like the fight of connor and poirer and i lose. if i have to spend my money from the income i get from my job, its usually for my kids and my bills.  there is nothing to spend unless my friends come and spend for me and drink beer which i'm already ashamed they are the ones buying my beer.

i don't budget for my gambling because i don't spend a lot. can't remember i spend $100 but that was the time BTC goes $20k for the first time.
2573  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the implications of Hal being Satoshi? on: July 15, 2021, 01:09:46 PM
No, Hal Finey is not Satoshi, you can inspect his profile and all his posts on bitcointalk forum and you will see that he was actually talking with Satoshi.
His style of writing is totally different from Satoshi, but he sure did help in developing and improving of Bitcoin.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155054.0

Good to read his post Bitcoin and me (Hal Finney):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155054.0

This is true. I read most the thread created by Hal and Satoshi during my newbie days and there conversation is genuine. Why they will talk to each other in the early stage of Bitcoin while you need someone to do a task for you to test your creation. Satoshi is very good on hiding his identity so creating an account using real name will be dangerous for him.

that may be true but there are just many coincidences that HAL could be Satoshi. the first transaction that satoshi did was sending some BTC to Hal's address well this is just what I've read as well.  if Hal is indeed SN, then maybe his family could access the wallets which they could have done it already if they have the keys. his family knew better than us.

anyone who knew Hal and a Bitcoin early investor would still think Hal is a visionary as well just like SN. probably sees him as a hero if he is indeed SN that's just an implication.
2574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sexy casinos on: July 15, 2021, 12:09:12 PM
What do you think of sexy casinos? Do you think it's a good thing? Have you ever tried any? What is your favorite one?
Casinos we call it as an entertainment platform so adding another player called sexy casino which is basically having sexy girls as their employees which may attract more and more men into their casinos for sure so its win-win on both perspective as long as we see casino as business and the player as someone who is seeking for entertainment but this sexy casinos may not be suitable for everyone.

it's always going to work for men, this kind of marketing had given the best results of course. skins are going to make men interested, even kids. but i have not seen crypto related casino with nudity on it. it's usually just mascots and chips on the logo of these casinos.

I remember some crypto sexy site but that’s not gambling and I can’t imagine how can you enjoy playing while there’s a sext lady in front of you, that’s too distracting and if that sexy lady is your purpose better to go to the bar and save your money in gambling and spend it on your drinks. I don’t know if sext gambling exist in cryptoworld, there’s none yet.

Distraction is so important for gambling. People have to focus on the table when they are gambling. So, sexy casinos aim to distract people!
I don't like unreal & unnatural things. It's not something that grabs my attention and distracts me just because of it.

if you are not going to be distracted, they'd think you are in the wrong place. a popup message will tell you to chose several macho guys wearing boxers. Cheesy

2575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: July 15, 2021, 09:04:42 AM

Although I've never liked Conor McGregor, but I think a rematch should be done, because the leg injury that Conor McGregor got in the fight a few days ago forced Conor McGregor to give up on the fight and if we look at the re-recording of the fight when Conor McGregor was injured, it was not entirely due to a punch or kick from Dustin Poirier but rather Conor McGregor positioned his foot in the wrong position, resulting in an injury.
And according to the news, if Dana White (UFC boss) has arranged for a rematch between Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor, to take place after Conor McGregor recovers from his leg injury and of course if this will be an opportunity for Dustin Poirier to silence Conor McGregor who says if dustin poirier's win a few days ago was a fake win.

the result will be the same, Connor will fail miserably now that he has an injury. even if that broken leg heals, he will never be the same again. it does happen all the time,  the superstar today will be replaced by upcoming stars.

The use of steroids might also be another reason for Conor’s weak bones. Steroid use causes osteoporosis according to some health websites. The bone loss caused by this also happens very quickly.

How quickly can bone loss occur when taking a steroids?
Bone loss occurs most rapidly in the first 6 months after starting oral steroids.

Source https://www.health.ny.gov/publications/1985/index.htm
That is about oral steroids. Athletes use injected steroids which might cause bone loss much quicker than 6 months.

aren't steroids illegal which fighters are examined regularly if they have drug substances?  if they are using these i guess we could also assume Anderson silva had been on steroids for awhile too.
2576  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: British police seize $408 million and arrest woman aged 39 on: July 14, 2021, 01:32:59 AM
We had heard a lot of criminals getting caught upon using cryptocurrency and running Ponzi schemes, it might they think that using cryptocurrency is fully anonymous but in fact, you can't.  Probably this is also related to Bitcoin since she was running her own coin and investors night invest using their Bitcoin.

That's a huge amount that has been confiscated, I hope those who had been victims will return the money to them because that's their money.  For sure there are more unrevealed amounts because the investigation is ongoing.  But my question is why the British authorities didn't disclose what cryptocurrency it is.


and it looks like they are going to continue seizing particularly the ones who did some scams. MacAfee, holt (that German Satoshi), and Ruscha Ignatowa the one coin fraudster. if we see an unknown name who are connected to ICO scam back in 2017, i'd really be amazed how they tracked them.
2577  Economy / Gambling / Re: Is Nuxbet legitim ? on: July 12, 2021, 01:30:00 PM
if its unknown to the users here or you can't find any thread about it. dont play nor deposit anything. you'll find this advice very accurate when you already can't withdraw it back because you got scammed already.
2578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling or playing? on: July 12, 2021, 11:29:58 AM
well you may be converting them to be a gamber if it interest the gamer. most gamers have budget. if it works then maybe the KYC is needed. kids often play thise video games.

Does anybody think that governments are trying to confiscate their BTC just as how they tried to John Macafee? 
Or are they illuminating all Satoshis until the only that's left is Craig?  Grin

All the guys who committed fraud through cryptocurrency may likely be arrested and probably commit suicide as well. I don't wanna make this thread like a conspiracy theory but I think the people who are scamming deserve to pay.
