But personal identity wouldn't exist, where one says 'I am', without touching on soul/spirit.
-cut-
This just isn't true. There's no connection of being self aware and your vague concept of immortal soul. I am not even sure why do i have to point it out as it's obvious and most of the things you say are not true either.

Maybe you should research those concepts like "parallel universe" you are throwing around, because you are either blatantly lying or don't understand what you are talking about.
Just because you talk about a god, it doesn't make any of the gods that people believe in any more real.

What you linked is pseudoscience that you would immediately see if you understood something about the concepts you are talking about.

And i won't be using my time to debunk Nassim Haramein's nonsense when others have done it already
2602  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Beginner question about transaction fee on: January 14, 2023, 06:59:06 PM
Right now I can see that Ethereum has fee is very high and it's annoying, I thought after the Ethereum upgrade the gas will be lower? Ethereum is at 1500$ imagine what will happen at 10,000$ per Ethereum.

Main Question

Assuming I hold 0.001 ETH mainly for a gas fee only and the value was 0.56$ then price surge up, is the increment going to be on the Sats? E.g ( 0.002 ETH ) or the increment is going to be on the value? E.g 0.001 ETH = 1.06$?
What upgrade are you tarking about? The Merge wasn't supposed to lower transaction costs. And you don't have to imagine what happens when the chain is overload. Just take a look what happened when eth was $4k. Only rich people were able to use it. They were also making ton of money but fees were just too much for anyone who didn't want to spend another $100 just for fees and hope that their transactions went trough. I used so much extra just because i wanted smart contract transactions to go trough.

It’s almost unimaginable just how much the market rallies against Jim Cramer’s predictions. It’s almost like he’s setting off movements now with his horrible calls. Nobody could just be that bad at predicting. It is like the opposite of Nancy Pelosi. He’s got to have some sort of agenda and insider info. I don’t believe anyone could be consistently so bad at making trading calls. There has to be something else happening here.

There has been some twitter and youtube "influencers" in the past that other influencers have been countertrading successfully, i can't remember their names anymore and some of them have deleted their accounts. I am guessing that in case of Jim Cramer there are bots that are countertrading him just out of spite. Of course these predictions sadly stop working when enough people use them, just like it was MacAffeee pump effect and any TA indicator, even counter indicators lose their effect eventually.
2604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Miss Universe 2023 betting. on: January 14, 2023, 06:14:23 PM
Betting on Miss Universe should be against the law if it isn't already imho. If some event is going to be rigged it's going to be that, and it most likely has always been rigged. And it would be impossible to prove that wrong person won because that would be a matter of taste so it would be perfect crime to make money. I seriously hope that event would be a thing from the past as only thing it serves is the rise of eating disorders amongst women.

The fact that you wished for something is born out by the fact that you posted. Even if your post doesn't bear out what you wished for, it probably comes close.

Even the animals have personal identity. How can you tell? There are no two of them that are exactly alike or exist in exactly the same space. However, if you mean soul or spirit, that is something that even science is proving. You are going against the grain of history and recent science if you say there is no soul or spirit.
As usual, you are not making any sense. What does personal identity has to do with made up concepts like soul or spirit?

And you obviously aren't following any scientific research if you think there has been any sort of proof for those vague concepts.
Claiming that i am going against history is just weird nonsense. If you are saying i don't hold much value on belief systems people used to have, that's true.
As history is full of weird belief systems that don't make any sense. They were used to understand cause and effect, and not they have been mostly replaced by scientific method.
2606  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will BNB Coin Hit $300 Mark in 2023? on: January 14, 2023, 10:53:12 AM
Yes, the price of binance will definitely hit $300 soon, because the crypto market has changed positively few days ago that made Bitcoin price to hit $20,000 which is a sign that other coins price will soon increase higher. Based on the sign binance price is displaying in the market, showed that the price will increase more than $300 before the end of 2023. I think, there is still hope for those who want to buy and hold for future purpose, because the price is still about $265 which there is hope to make a huge amount of money before the end of this year.

What are you talking about? it has been days since it was $265 and it broke $310 today.
I am starting to think some of the users in here are bots that copy earlier answers and put them trough rephrasing algorithm to use them again.
Any other explanations for these kind of posts are being lazy or no-research zero value content.

Op you can lock the topic. It happened already.
2607  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Billionaires aiming to be immortal being with their vast wealth on: January 13, 2023, 06:56:27 PM
Much of what you say is based on your own wishes rather than scientific experimentation.
Well that sounds like psychological projection. Where did i wished something? You are The one wishing for eternal life

That being said, since it's very difficult to scrutinize the unscrutable, there isn't very much factual info, yet... except for the very fact of personal identity.

Personal identity isn't proof for anything other then feeling of personal identity. There's nothing magical about that.
2608  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who are responsible for the bear run on: January 13, 2023, 07:24:11 AM

If my memory serves me correctly, then I am sure that the bear run was already on before the Do Kwon and SBF sagas. Though they further worsen the already bad situation, kinda adding salt to injuries.

But, i don't think the bear run where caused by these two alone, we are all part and parcel of it.

It doesn't require memory, you can just take a look at the chart you quoted.

A bear market is normal behavior in the crypto market, and it's not anyone's fault. The downward trend of the market in a bear market is also a normal phenomenon, and it is impossible to really predict and control what will happen. We should learn from these failures and control greed to avoid unnecessary losses.

Of course cycles are normal, but they always have trigger points to launch them.
And this wasn't about prediction, this is the aftermath and fundamentals, not technical analysis; which ironically is be basis for the claim that bear market is normal like you said and possible to predict.

That's pretty vague promise. If the upgrade to VIP isn't automatic for everyone who registers now, what exact requirements do i have to fill to be in a great position to become a VIP?
For example how much i need to spend or how many times i have to roll slots for it for being guaranteed vip in the future versus the new users after the new system is launched?

I just saw someone in the twitter making ton of money with your 1000x leverage crypto futures (which is an excellent idea to have in a gambling site) and now i am intrigued.

So few questions...

1. Do i have to hold rollbit coin in my casino wallet in order to stake it in order to get airdrops?
2. Is the marketcap for RLB really just under $150k or has the coinmarketcap wrong data?
3. Has something gone wrong for the token in the past as it's only trading in Serum DEX with insanely low $6,050 volume?

Dump, dump and dump. All of metaverse tokens are dumping so hard.

Those looks like they bottomed out to be honest. I am currently studying them so thanks to OP for linking them i guess. How in earth i completely missed that Star Atlas. Well i got some reading to do now..

This came back to my feed, and boy i was wrong. I have a vague memory that everything felt bottomed out. If someone had told me that that would been a good time to sell and there would still another -90% to drop (which happened) i would have probably thought they were crazy. But back then no one knew that there would be luna crash coming to top of the war.

the NFT market is really not in great demand, even products from donald trump himself reportedly don't have much interest (what happened to his fans), but I'm sure that's because of the unreasonable prices LOL.
NFT markets are doing as well as other altcoin markets. It's just the crappy projects like trump trading cards and things like GOT trademark and zero effort copy cats that are failing. And i totally understand why. They don't have the spririt of crypto. It's like coca-cola would make their own erc20 token and sold it. It's pointless and no-one cares.
2612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the best strategy for high wagering/low losses on plinko? on: January 12, 2023, 04:46:04 PM
It is true that the games provided in the casino have been programmed and in the end only the casino wins and the gamblers lose. Winning in casino games is just luck and I confirm that.
However, there is a strategy that can be used in betting on casino games, this strategy is that we can see and analyze and calculate for ourselves in several game settlements. If we have got the right position, then we can bet and it is possible to get a win.

From my previous opinion, I just explained that luck is not a strategy and luck in betting can be obtained by using the right strategy.
This applies only to games that have changing variables you can count and choose if you want to play that round or not.
Choices on plinko (where you can't place the starting point of the ball) are merely an illusion that only affect how big is your risk / reward ratio. It's more complex then in dice multiplier but it's basically same when it comes to outcome.

Do you agree with these efforts by the richest persons in the world to become immortal? What are the benefits and drawbacks of it if it actually occurs, given that the richest men in the world are currently making more efforts to have it happen? Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin,
I don't have to form opinion about it. Of course they are going to try to lengthen their life cycle. I would too. I am just doing it by eating healthy taking care of my mental and physical health.

Benefits of immorality would include not dying, and if you get nasty diseases that would be also the drawback of it along watching all your loved ones die.

After all, science has barely begun to accept the idea that there is a soul and spirit. Even if the physical body has been kept alive forever, will the connection between it and the soul/spirit always remain, as well? We are far from understanding things like this, and they may not even be something we can understand.

Besides, when the connections are weakened, there are evil spirits that want to get in and take over both body and soul, right?
Wrong. Science doesn't acknowledge the existence of soul or spirit. Even the religious circles can debate on the definition of the concept and everyone in those circles seem to have their own views.
Maybe some mentally deranged scientists do believe on that but their research on proving something so vague wouldn't hold any water.
2614  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you believe religion is a setback in African development? on: January 12, 2023, 04:15:05 PM
^^^ Note that all setbacks or advancements in Africa are personal as well as being societal.

Everybody dies, both the religious and the non-religious.

Without religion, personal setbacks are great. Why? because there is no hope of eternal life in Heaven. Without religion, there can only be eternal life in Hell... though many people without religion don't realize this.

With the right religion there will be life in Heaven after death (after the Resurrection). So, there is at least advancement rather than setback for some.

Advancement for Africans in this life, with no religion at all, means setback for eternal life for all Africans. Keep the religions, because some will be saved that way.
Cool
This is such a lame excuse. And what if you have chosen the wrong religion? Or what if your specific sect of countless different christian sects is wrong? What if there's an afterlife but only atheists get in?

But wait, you have a point, you are right, i see the light now. I now regret my atheist views and choose a to be religious instead. My religion of choice will be a Satanist as that's closest to my heart.
Thanks for opening my eyes. It's great to share a religion with you. Except you are on the side of Lord's sheeps am i am on side with a rebels that think themselves.

That was sarcasm if it was unclear.

America's gun problem doesn't come from people having guns. It comes from cowardly Americans not exercising their gun rights.
-cut-
That's some mental acrobatics. Please tell me again why there are so much gun violence in US because there are not enough guns.
And while you are on it, try to explain why it's low in places that have strict gun control laws.

Places that need guerilla warfare, problem wasn't the guns. Problems are way more complex but i understand that you want to simplify complex issues.

And you can pretty much compare US right wing gun nuts to taliban. They tend to have strong religious views, don't respect laws and strong views about "morals" while also they like to restrict freedom of women.

US is so freakishly funny about their concept of "freedom" that basically only comes back to guns. With a 2 party system and anything but free healthcare, when they have potential for so much more.

Yes, as long as they are still responding and the business still open this concern might not affect the casino service, like what I mentioned the marketing team who handles this might not see a result that they are expecting or they are don't have that budget yet or they are trying to allocate a bigger amount for advertisement and promotions and then they will allocate portions of it to signature campaign, we will be inform for sure as they will announce if there's any update regarding to this.
Well it's their business how they spend their revenue, but in the case of BetFury i would very much like to see them spending fraction of that to professionals who would sit down and think if a new game theory for bfg tokenomics end game, or some other benefits that would make holding BFG more desirable.

But i guess that would be just for users and wouldn't help the team in any way so it's not top on their priority list.

Some weeks ago I was rolling the dices on Stake and actually managed to get a good streak at 90%.
This week I tested my luck again and all went down hill, it seems my luck is completely gone. I got a 10% chance loss twice just in three rolls.  Roll Eyes
Decided it was time to stop and log off.

I'll try Blackjack when I feel lucky again. Any one here wants to lean me some good luck?  Tongue
Well i have lots of untapped good luck. I haven't used it at all recently because i have been saving it Grin.
Luckily i've kept my system of not spending more then i have planned so it doesn't really matter if i lose a lot. I wouldn't mind hitting some jackpots though. That's why we are in here. But i guess there will be time for that like there has been in the past. Usually winning streaks come when i least expect them.
2618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can we really make a living in sports betting? on: January 12, 2023, 07:42:26 AM
I heard lots of stories online that there are people who are making a living in sports betting, and honestly it really inspires me that's why I'm still gambling now. So I'm just curious, do we have members of the forum here that are making a living in sports betting? Can they share some inputs on how to be successful like them?

I hope they will share so we will know if it's really possible. I mean, as the saying goes, casinos always win because they have the advantage, so how come people are making a living in sports betting?

It means you would have to be professional. To know everything there is to know about the players / fighters. Follow recent news and eat and breath sports. And even with that you won't get nearly all the bets right because some games can't be predicted. But that knowledge gives you an edge that can lead to profits if you are using it correctly.

Also if you aren't doing it purely by instict, it would be good if you had the latest data on spreadsheets to make some cold calculations that would give you a clear view over your feelings and preconception.

2620  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Hackers hide malware in fake NFT game on: January 12, 2023, 07:26:22 AM
Another discovery of fraudulent activities was made by Korean specialists from AhnLab. The game is distributed through phishing sites or through a mailing list; it is a simple Pokémon NFT card game. After installing the game, RAT, a computer remote control virus, is installed on the victim's computer, which ultimately allows hackers to fully monitor all the victim's actions, including stealing passwords and seed phrases.

Quote
Hackers have been using a fake NFT game claiming to be Pokémon-branded to spread malware to unsuspecting users, according to cybersecurity firm AhnLab. The phishing website, which is still active at the time of writing, appears to offer a legitimate NFT marketplace and the option to buy tokens and stake NFTs based on the popular Japanese media brand. However, users who download the site's content are actually installing a remote access program called NetSupport Manager that gives hackers control over their device
https://metaverse.sg/nft-news/fake-pokemon-nft-game-distributes-malware

The remote control can be configured as the most common process on Windows, which the user will never mistake for malicious, which also applies to antivirus software, although some completely refuse to detect it.

As a result, the simple truth rings again: do not open anything on the Internet, do not open attachments from strangers, and start self-education on Linux systems in order to completely abandon leaky Windows.
I have been contacted by same kind of scammers several times, to do review of their obscure NFT game for money. I've always rejected the offer because real intentions shows miles away. And when you think about it, crypto people who connect their wallets for playing are the perfect target for the scam. You don't even have to get the banking details and hope banks don't reverse money transfers. You literally get everything without any work because others end up giving their wallets for you. I wonder how these won't happen all the time.

And funny enough people don't seem to care when some unknown game designers decide to use stolen trade mark. Like that wasn't a huge red flag.
