261  Economy / Economics / Re: Technology and work ethics on: March 12, 2024, 12:41:54 PM
We can't dispute the fact that the advent of technology has played a great role in improving activities in the workplace. With the networking of the different PCs in companies, it has become easy to send a broadcast message to all staff at a time, and coupled with other sophisticated technology, coordinating and controlling multiple workers has become easier which has resulted in a high level of productivity and an increase in the staff to management relationships.
The main achievement of technology was that it made absolutely everything easier. It's easy and fast to do hard, complex calculations, it becomes possible to book things from home, it's possible to connect with friends, it's possible to buy things and trade with different parts of the world from your home or office, it's possible to work from your home to a different country. Many things became possible thanks to technology and it accelerated absolutely everything and every process in the world.

But then, the issue of workers' privacy and management compliance with work ethics has been of serious concern, and to a very large extent, it always appears as though most management has always used technology to the disadvantage of her staff. You find situations where CCTV cameras are mounted in most offices and privacy is denied to its peak. Most PCs used by staff are always under serious surveillance and sometimes, staff's don't even have a single knowledge that they are being monitored, and whenever they get a bit flimsy, their job is threatened.
It definitely affected work ethics. While modern technology reduces the privacy of workers, it increases the workforce by controlling what they do in the office or factory and it also saves a company from employees stealing things from them. While it affects workers privacy, companies don't care about that and the world favours rich (company owners).

Less than one satoshi? I would rather hope that they hold back the free rolls for the time being or increase the time interval between rolls - like once every 6hours or so and then adjust the payout rates to compensate for that.

That is if they want to continue the faucet since that is what freebitco.in has been always centered on. They can also temporarily halt the faucet but that might see a huge public outcry.

Overall, I am pretty happy with the bitcoin bull run and crossing of the all-time-high.
It will negatively affect Freebitco if they increase the time of free rolls from every hour to every two hours. They need frequent freerolls to attract users and make them stay on their website for longer. If users frequently visit and stay longer on the website, they are more likely to gamble and because of the very high house edge of Freebitco, things are going to turn in Freebitco's favour.
We can't do anything against the rising price of Bitcoin. It's definitely going to affect Bitcoin faucet and dice games negatively but at the same time, it's going to positively affect their capital and price spike will help them to spend money more easily on development and marketing.

What's the maximum number of coins that I can win on your website? I checked FAQ page but there isn't much information stored. I suggest you to work no your FAQ page, you should really store all the frequently asked questions.
Right now, while I'm still reading your Terms page, I discovered that you state max gain by game on that page. I suggest you to store that information on FAQ page too.

I like the idea of a roulette without zero bet but how are you going to make it profitable? An addition of 0 is what makes it profitable for casinos, this gives them an edge over players, now it's a fair game that is also very risky for you.
264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Management on: March 11, 2024, 10:53:24 PM
I often run out of funds due to gambling that is too blind in terms of placing $$ on every bet I make and ends up losing. I do multi-bets and single-bets, every time I win, sometimes I forget myself and use all my $$ on the next bet. This sometimes gives me big wins, but if I'm unlucky I can lose all my funds and this has happened many times.

I started to realize and change my habits. Now I use $$ from the profits from the previous bet to place the next bet and save my initial capital.

What do you think, is this good and can help me overcome losses that will occur so that $$ remains safe and can be used in future betting? Are there other unique ways that you can use to grow your money in gambling? feel free to comment. Thanks
Don't chase your losses, never try to overcome them because it's like a quicksand. When you try to cover your losses, you don't always manage to successfully do that. Sometimes, people lose, try to overcome losses, then lose again, then deposit more to overcome everything that they lost, then they lose again and finally are in such a bit of trouble that they become gambling addicts.

It's risky to bet all of your money on the next bet but it's also rewarding. If I were you, I would only bet on games where I am 100% sure but if there is really a 1% that tells you to not bet, then don't risk and bet on the next match. I don't think there are any other unique ways to grow your money, probably it's a good idea to sometimes play with different coins because during the bull run, your $$ will increase too.

Is Primedice still alive? How is the KYC policy? I haven't heard for years from anyone complaining about KYC procedure on Primedice, is this casino better than many other ones when it comes to the frequency of passing a KYC procedure?
I was gambling here during 2015-2016 years and I remember PD was giving me a possibility to create an account almost instantly, so I think I have many accounts here but I don't remember their names and passwords. Am I allowed in this case to create a new account?

Btw jackpot is such a big... 114 Bitcoins... Unbelievable but no one is going to hit 77.77 twice in a row.
266  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are people still using bitcoin ATMs? on: March 11, 2024, 10:18:09 AM
Probably they use it for tax avoidance, that's why even though people are really rare to use ATMs, but the number of Bitcoin ATMs are still high. There are no stupid businessmen, there must be something that they can use it to take advantage or benefit.

Have you ever see small business in your country that have no customer and still survive until now? it's the another example.
It's not a good choice for tax avoidance. In my country, crypto ATMs require you to submit your ID number and confirm that by receiving a message on your phone number and entering that into the ATM. Also, I have heard that in some countries sometimes you have to pass a KYC procedure. It's not a good way for tax avoidance. Besides KYC, ATM fees are so high that it's better to pay taxes.

Never used a Bitcoin ATM but curious about what the fees are.
ATM owners set the fees but from my experience, fees are sometimes up to 25%. I have never seen fees lower than 10%. I include the spread in it.
267  Economy / Economics / Re: If being a graduate is the key to being wealthy, why are there poor graduates? on: March 11, 2024, 09:30:24 AM
First off, I must say that Education is very good and i don't dispute the fact that it's very vital and necessary for human development, it can put you in a position to be successful no doubt but being a graduate is not a 100% guarantee for one to be very wealthy, one can be very sound academically but lack some basic skills of acquiring wealth. Also one can still have some good knowledge of certain skills but if there's no zeal or self confidence in earning a living through it then your education on those skills can be said to be a waste since you ain't making effort to earn from it.

 Also I've heard several people complain about having good grades, being 1st class graduates but find it difficult to secure good paying jobs, imagine someone struggling to achieve good grades in the university but find it difficult to earn a living and at the end settle for minor jobs while there are many dropouts with good skillsets as well as being creative and think outside the box, and are bosses of big organisations and companies.

 Well it's not basically about being educated or graduating with the best grades that makes you wealthy, it's about determination, being consistent and also persistent cause success and wealth are not achieved in one day or immediately after graduating. In as much as you have good grades, you must still improve your skills, not only job skills, marketing or management skills but your critical thinking and problem solving skills.
I have heard from my parents then years ago when they were young, that if they studied well, then the government (it was communism during their time) would choose them, give them a good, high-paying job and they would also be appreciated in the society. They grew up with this mentality, if you want to achieve anything in life, you have to enter university or you'll be a physical labour forever but in reality, things are very different today. No one cares about your education if you can't market yourself. I had a mate in university who had all the A+ grades but she still works at McDonalds because she wasn't from a rich family and was a shy girl.
On another hand, there are many people who have never studied at school and university but earn six figures. Khaby Lame is a good example, he never studied at University but used the right moment at the right time and is earning much more than people who work 12 hour shifts a week and do the hardest jobs.
268  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Hosting companies that don't ask for KYC? on: March 11, 2024, 09:04:35 AM
I host multiple websites and traffic grew on all of them. As I said, I am using Flokinet but when it comes to prices and resources, it's hard to beat Hetzner. I can get 2 vCPU, 8GB RAM and 80GB Disk space for € 12.49 on Hetzner. I wanted to buy Hetzner's cloud server and asked my friend to register for me (they asked me for KYC documents). The same happened to my friend, I have no idea why they asked for it. I want to warn you, to be careful with Hetzner if you care about your privacy.

I have heard about Contabo but many people say that their response time is not reliable and many people don't recommend their service. I checked buyvm/frantech but what I want is not available in any location.

Does anyone know how I can find Hetzner resellers? Or if there are good cheap VPS alternatives? There are many cheap VPS when I google but I want advice and recommendations from someone who had a good experience with certain cheap VPS providers. Many of you run many tools on VPS, so I hope I'll hear good suggestions. Crypto payments are a huge bonus for me but not mandatory.

269  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are people still using bitcoin ATMs? on: March 09, 2024, 11:38:28 AM
Hi guys,

I've been long fascinated with bitcoin ATM machines and love to spot them wherever I go traveling but haven't seen one for a long time in New York – are there any of them left in the city at all?

I keep hearing anecdotal stories of people using them but wonder if they are still considered a good way to buy bitcoin, given the steep fees these machines often charge.

Have you ever used a bitcoin ATM in NYC?


Can't talk about New York City but everywhere I have ever been and seen Bitcoin ATMs, they all have been very terrible. I don't know why Bitcoin ATM owners think it's a good way to manage business with extraordinarily high fees but besides Bitcoin enthusiasts no one uses ATM. People only use Bitcoin ATMs just once to test it and experience what it looks like, just like a fan thing. A friend of mine has Bitcoin ATM in his restaurant since 2016 and rarely one or two tourists a month come to use it and take pictures of it, that's all.
Don't use Bitcoin ATMs. It's better to buy Coinbase card if you live in the USA or get a XAPO card if you travel often. You'll get better fees compared to Bitcoin ATMs and these cards offer good ATM withdrawal fees.
270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: March 09, 2024, 11:14:47 AM
It's normal to lose in gambling, that's why it's called gambling, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose but there is one step that everyone has to consider to make their gambling experience safe. Never chase your loses. Let's say you lose 100$, never take a loan or borrow money from a friend to gamble again just to get that 100$ back. If you say to yourself that you'll only gamble to get back what you lost, then you are doing wrong and are putting yourself at risk of gambling addiction.
Gambling should be a fun activity. Think about it like a small commission that you pay to play, just like you pay for video games. You can even gamble with play money these days, fiat makes things a little spicy and interesting, that's all.

Just watch a new video on youtube from these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEoSbwrA_bQ

It's been a long time not playing on (Duelbits), seem like Duelbits have newest original game (Blackjack) on theme. On the newest game update, they pull some update on side-bet (21+3 & PP).

I guess, looking forward for test these maybe in the middle of month after my paycheck ~xd.
She is very cute but I wonder what's the point of hiring her. She has a few subscribers while she started uploading videos 1 year ago. She has a few video too, 23 video in more than a year. Duelbit's new blackjack game is good but I would choose live blackjack anytime. Live Blackjack adds excitement to your gambling experience, it's more fun and interactive.

Still it can help you to maintain your privacy and it's not to hide from the platform you are accessing but from the middle man which is your ISP may track these data and you don't want them to know which casino that you are accessing on regular basis but it's kind of tricky when it comes to accessing the casino that is why it is important to ask the support usage of VPN is allowed if someone wants to have the privacy I am talking and then buy dedicated IP which comes at premium cost.
I think for better privacy, you must be sure that the online crypto casino of your choice isn't located in your country. These casinos are registered in Curacao but run their business from different countries.
272  Economy / Economics / Re: A course worth studying ? on: March 08, 2024, 01:53:22 PM
So, I watched a video recently where the guest speaker said, that if he gets the opportunity to advise teens in high school he would tell them not to study economics, and it made me scared because I'm studying economics. So, it was like... ' Did I make the wrong choice or something? '. Moving further in the video, I realized that what he was saying and explaining had already been said by my economics lecturer before.

"Economics is a day-to-day practice and is an easy endeavor made difficult for study reasons", he usually said. Watching the video to the end, I asked myself, "If I had the opportunity to go back in time would I pick another course to study? " And the answer was ..." No". And if I have the opportunity to advise any high school student about courses to choose... I'd say "Economics". The more people learn about even basic economics, the better the economy of countries.

So, if you had the opportunity to advise people about courses to choose In University, what would it be and why?
I studied economics but if I could return back, I would study informational technologies because there is a very high competition among those who finish Business management and economics and because of this competition, salaries are very low. In overall, economics is a necessary, people should know how economy and money works in order to gain financial advantage and not struggle in their life but life doesn't work the way we study in universities. In universities, they don't talk much about shady business practices, what happens behind the scenes and how dark the business is.
University course about economics is only good to become a hired person, that's all about it.

We are also excited to see a new Poker club on this forum because for some unknown reasons, poker is not popular in the crypto world. I want to view your website and check pages but sadly there is almost nothing that I can do without registering on your website. I think it will be good if you allow your first-time customers to check website without registration or at least please provide us with a video that demonstrates your poker.
As other users have suggested, think about signature campaign if you are serious about this business. Be consistent and trustworthy and you'll achieve success.
274  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does any meme coin has the ability to challenge bitcoin dominance ? on: March 07, 2024, 03:57:47 PM
In last one week, coins like pepe rose by 400% or more. There were other meme coins like dogecoin and shiba inu also growing fast. Lot of bitcoin users would now feel tempted to move their funds to these meme coins for higher profit. At such, do you think that any meme coin has the capacity to challenge bitcoin dominance ?
You have to compare the fundamentals of Bitcoin to the fundamentals of PEPE and you'll find that there are too many reasons to stick with Bitcoin and avoid pepe. Bitcoin has strong fundamentals, it's the most popular currency with the highest marketcap, is decentralized, p2p payment solution, cryptographic, you can store it in your software and hardware wallet, basically you are the bank. Pepe is a coin that has no fundamentals and is 100% a hype-based project. People buy pepe because it's a meme coin and people love speculation with meme coins. It's a very risky coin, you have to be lucky, you risk a lot when you buy it.
275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best way to go about making a crypto casino. on: March 07, 2024, 10:43:40 AM
Hey guys, I decided to post here as I could not find some recommendation on how to start a crypto casino. Hopefully you guys can provide me some insight into this.

We have experience in the gambling industries however it is mostly all physical shops. Marketing and gathering customers are not an issue to us as we are looking to venture in creating a crypto casino. However we are trying to find the most cost effective approach into doing this.

I know that they are plenty of competitors out there and marketing along with advertisement costs can be costly. But we are confident that we are able to market it to our existing customer base.

I have done some research on WhiteLabel casinos and Turnkey ones, but I do not know who are the best to work with as I have seen some bad reviews on some of the providers.

Furthermore, consulting with a dev team, they charge hella a lot for it to be developed and said 1 game takes around 400 hours to be developed (which i know that is not true, as they charge by the hour)

So I am wondering if anyone here knows a place where we could whip up a simple MVP crypto casino to be done at a cost effective price, or even partner with an existing one to bring it to market.
They charge hella a lot for it because it's very hard to create a casino game. It requires years of knowledge of different fields, including graphics design, UI/UX design, programming, development, testing and etc... It's a very hard job if you want a high quality product.
For a cheap alternative, you can contact casino b2b suppliers. For example, there is a well trusted company Spribe that offers famous and high quality games, that are tested by many major casinos globally. This is the link of spribe - https://spribe.co/welcome  Spribe offers many games like dice, plinko, crash, poker, slots, skill games and etc...
There is a company Hu88 that also offers 12,000+ games for casinos. They provide sportsbet.io, livecasino.io and bitcasino.io   This is their website - https://hub88.tech/
You can check moon.io for design, also check tradeart.io

Let me know what you think about them.
276  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I don't understand you people... on: March 07, 2024, 09:49:47 AM
When I see that the price is flying down steeply, I sell everything and let it fall down. When it stops, then I buy cheap and I have earned...
BTC is going down now, so let it go and buy when it stops. We can all make money from it and then we will again get it up together! Unfortunately, there are always a few "geniuses" who go against the flow and they are buying when they should be selling, and that destroying everyone's earnings...
I'm seriously upset because a couple of such  " smart "  people just ruined my chance to make up for a 15k loss... I would like to kick them somewhere!
                                   

When you sell, you profit because someone buys. When you sell Bitcoin for 69K USD, someone buys it for 69K USD, otherwise you wouldn't be able to sell for this price. We can't have two winners, there is only one winner and one loser. There are many people who hesitate to buy Bitcoin during the bull run because many people call it a scam coin, then they see how it's going up and up, they still hesitate to buy and finally, all these people who were hesitating before, experience severe FOMO and buy when price is at it's all-time high. That's how it works, I expect the same because people never learn on their mistakes. Btw to be fair, it's not bad when they buy it at ATH, if they can hold it for years, then it means nothing because bitcoin will have another ATH after the next halving and long-term these people won't be in loss.
277  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲BetFury.io| 💸Join BetFury Crypto Staking |🔥Get the highest APRs up to 170% on: March 07, 2024, 08:40:43 AM
If the Betfury team wants to have any success during the alt season, they will need to get listed on at least one popular centralized exchange. The problem is that the BFG token is now traded only on Biswap and Pancakeswap. These are certainly not bad DEXs, but they alone won't be enough during the bull run.
p.s.
Honestly, I am more than sure that the Betfury team can afford to list BFG, at least on such an exchange as MEXC.
That's right, they need to get listed on popular exchanges. If they manage to get listed on Binance and Coinbase, I believe their volume will significantly increase because from my past experience, many coins that get listed on top exchanges, immediately feel a big pump.
Btw there is some good news. Betfury.io significantly increased their reward for BFG holders. Now instead of 60%, you can earn up to 130% APY if you stake BFG token for a fixed 365 days. It's a very good opportunity in this bull market to attract many new customers. Btw 130% APY is too much for Betfury to pay. I'm curious to see if their coin doesn't experience dump after such a big giveaway on stacking.
278  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Any marketplace where accept both crypto and fiat payments? on: March 07, 2024, 08:12:24 AM
We know there are a few marketplaces like Fiverr and Upwork that just accept fiat. I am wondering if I can build my portfolio on any freelancing marketplace. It's just for formalities, not for earning, actually. I've been earning money through cryptocurrency, and I'm also making a good living from trading. I need a freelancing portfolio just to show my identity.

I can build on Fiverr, but they charge a lot when someone makes a payment and withdraws. So we want to reduce the system loss. So I may accept funds from my clients through the marketplace instead of direct crypto. Don't take it negatively; it's necessary since crypto is illegal here. I have to show legal authorities that I have been receiving funds through the marketplace. So I intend to receive some of my funds through marketplaces that accept crypto and fiat both. If you are familiar with something like this, please let me know.
Maybe what you are looking for is - Cryptotask.org. I don't know if demand will be high on you or if you find jobs that you can do, it's a very small marketplace with very low number of listed jobs and Freelancers on website rarely have experience or feedback in their profiles. To be fair, you can't find anything better than Fiverr or Upwork, there aren't crypto alternatives because companies prefer to stick with one niche, either crypto or fiat and crypto freelance websites don't have high demand that makes it very hard to grow this business and to become a successful.

Perhaps if you cant find one, you should make one, im sure it will begin to thrive.
It's not easy to make a freelance website. It requires dedicated team of support, developers, security and etc...
279  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it good or bad idea saving every penny on crypto stable coins on: March 06, 2024, 01:29:06 PM
Sometimes I begin to imagine instead of transferring my money into the bank to keep for a number of days or months before usage in form of savings that nothing will add up instead it remains stagnant or the bank charges me even more. Is it not better I save them on a stable coin such as the USDT?

Please what do you think? Will I end up losing my funds one day if I do so?
To me I feel it's good way to save.

Please what's your opinion on this?
Many people on Bitcointalk advise that it's not a good idea to hold USDT, there are better alternatives like DAI and USDC. USDT is not 1:1 pegged to USD and it means that there is a high chance if many people suddenly try to convert their USDT into USD, it will collapse. As I said, it's better to choose other stablecoins and store them on your Ledger or other hardware wallet. Btw if it's not a problem, I would hold USD and buy Bitcoin when I would want.
280  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is it possible Cash out Crypto without KYC? on: March 06, 2024, 09:59:31 AM
Hello Friends,

I'm thinking of capitalizing on this bull run and taking some profit.

Does anyone have suggestions for cashing out crypto without going through KYC? It would be ideal if I could transfer the fiat to my bank account or onto a card. Or is there any other way?

Thanks in advance for any advice! Smiley
It's impossible to withdraw a fiat from a crypto casino without the chance of going through a KYC procedure. If you also plan to deposit your crypto to crypto casino and then immediately withdraw it without trying to make a bet or wager, then you are highly increasing your chance of getting asked to do KYC verification. If you are simply looking for a way to convert crypto to fiat, there are better alternatives than crypto casinos. Visit bestchange.com and choose crypto/fiat pair and then check reviews of each exchange. You might find an exchange that will let you cash out crypto without going through KYC procedure. There are also some good decentralized exchanges that others already suggested.
