2621  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 2022 bear market? on: January 16, 2022, 10:14:38 AM
As we have seen the bull market of 2021, history has shown there to be a following of a bear market in the next year (2022). What are your thoughts so far and how do you believe it will play out.
It's true that if we follow the 4-year cycle, it should start the bear market by now. But before the bull run has started by 2021 and halving of 2020. The bull run has already started by the end of 2020 which shouldn't happen if we're following the cycle.

In that case, there's already the change from that pattern and cycle that we used to follow.

I think the bear market is still just starting, btc should now be around 16-22k on average price until 2025.

Your thoughts?
That's too low but we did saw bitcoin dropped by $28k last year after it went from its first ATH.
2622  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Doge coin will be the future crypto spacecraft that will take you to the Moon. on: January 16, 2022, 08:27:43 AM
Recently we have known that a satellite will be sent through by Elon Musk using doge coin fund named "Doge-1". This will be a innovative plane for the authority. We can also assume that in future there will be new planes with the SpaceX. In it's continuity we can assume to go to the mars or look for a new planet which of curse give the new dimension to the Doge coin. What do you think about it?
I'm not that type of person that thinks deeply when it comes to this. With what I'm thinking for this mission, it's just all about giving the name of the Dogecoin and in particular, just another marketing stunt to help pump Dogecoin.

Other than that, I'm not seeing what you're seeing with dogecoin as deep as it is because of some space mission. It's Elon and you know the guy has been memeing with Dogecoin on his twitter and if you find him serious with this, then congratulations to all of you.

Most people enjoy betting on sports events or gambling only when they win, of course, if they are not fans of the sport (they bet for fun) or gamble only for fun (such people are very few).

Betting on sports allows the bettor to use a wider analysis than any gambling games, so the probability to earn by such activity is higher than by gambling.
I think even the bet didn't win as long as the match is close and the game is intense for that sports that you've watched, that lose is just totally fine as long as you get to enjoy the game.

That's what I enjoy in sportsbetting. Even if I lose, as long as the match is too close and you know that the team you bet for did their best, that's like nothing to me and I just have to bet better next time.

Good news as it is.

As El Salvador has started it, here goes Tonga that's about to make it a legal tender and if it passes then that's good on this small nation to adopt a new currency as their legal tender.

And if it goes well, I think its nearby small countries would also take the example from them and might do the same since it's ideal to them that they're near into the other islands that could be fine using bitcoin as a legal tender.

Binance has it for you.

Read: https://academy.binance.com/en/start-here

That explains cryptocurrencies and the question that you're asking about blockchain. Actually, as others have said, you have a lot of resources to read on to answer your question.

If you're not too satisfied with all of the links that we've given, it's time for you to make your own research and read those articles about the subject just the way you like it.
2626  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What will be the price of Bitcoin at the end of 2021? [New] on: January 15, 2022, 02:32:21 AM
What do y'all think about the price of Bitcoin at the end of this year? Will it appreciate or depreciate?
Let's all just wish and speculate that things are going to appreciate and escalate for bitcoin.

That's all of us wants when it's about the price of bitcoin. No one knows the actual price that hasn't been seen yet at the early of this year. I mean chill out if you're asking for the ending price of bitcoin for this year.

The year has just started and we're still in the first month of the year. There can be a lot of things can happen at the end of this year and the only thing that we can do right now is to wait and also accumulate.
2627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting or casino? on: January 14, 2022, 08:55:39 AM
In my opinion, sports betting requires experience and knowledge, while playing in a casino is more fun.
Not really. As long as you're a fan and you understand the sports that you're going to bet, I think you're good enough already to start. Most of us started with zero knowledge and experience on it and how you're going to gain experience if the requirement itself in the first place is experience.

Sports betting is fun too, you're having fun while tuning in the game and with the team or player that you have bet for. That's why both of them are fun if you're talking about enjoying them. If it's the measurement of fun, a casino player will definitely say that it's more fun and vice versa for the sports betting.
2628  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin total supply is not 21M on: January 14, 2022, 02:03:51 AM
It's an estimation and that's not an issue that's too broad to discuss. Needless to say, it's easier for everybody to understand that bitcoin has 21M of supply.

Whether it will be reaching someday, the reality of it is that no one of us are going to see it fulfilled in the future that all of the bitcoins are mined. I wish I do and for sure that the others would love to see that happen.

But that's one fact whether it's exact 21M or not in supply.
2629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Northwest Arkansas is offering $10k worth of ₿ and a bike to attract talent on: January 14, 2022, 12:44:00 AM
Is the budget firm or there will be next batch once they fulfilled the $1M allotment?
Since it's still in the pilot stage, they "might" extend it in the future:

  • We don’t have a firm number in mind. This is a pilot right now. After the initial feedback and results are reviewed, we’ll determine whether to extend the program.
Hopefully it gets a good result and the number will increase as we always want to see people getting incentives paid in bitcoin. That's what all of us wanted to see and coming from a state or any form of government, that's something as a positive growth that we're all looking forward.

Is $10,000 good to start a life there?it's kinda good for those looking for a new experience, but the positive point is that Bitcoin is starting to be used as a currency that has value and not as a speculative asset, which is a good thing on the way to total adoption.
I don't know if that would be enough there but I guess it will be. Knowing that the eligible participants have already their paying jobs, that amount is a good additional for their start.
2630  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Northwest Arkansas is offering $10k worth of ₿ and a bike to attract talent on: January 13, 2022, 07:23:34 AM
seems they only want 100 people to come to NWA. (invest $1m in allotments of $10k)
I guess that bike is also part of the $1M budget.

But anyway, that's a good start for NWA that they've considered giving it out in bitcoin and that's a positive development on their location. I'm sure that those workers that have seen the ideality of this offer would not hesitate to sign up.

Where do we see if there have been accepted applicants already and how many of them are? Is the budget firm or there will be next batch once they fulfilled the $1M allotment?

Look like DuckDice becomes a bit inactive in this forum. They usually post more about promotions and their development improvements. But, in the last few weeks, they were not that much active. Is the Christmas promo was for new Year too? There was no dedicated promotion for the new year?

I am a bit curious about why they become less active?
They're active and just posted above you. Last weeks were holidays and usually people are busy IRL with that.

Just because they have 3 negative trusts? If yes, why they don't prove them wrong? DuckDice is a mature casino now. They can resolve this accusation if they want. I guess they don't care about forum reputation or what?
Many of its feedback were changed from red to neutral and I think they do care about their reputation in the forum. I agree that they can resolve issues that has been thrown but some of those red trust are likely to stay there whether they solve it or not.
2632  Economy / Economics / Re: Is PayPal plannning to Launch of Own Stablecoin? on: January 13, 2022, 12:53:26 AM
Few Paypal users over the years.
I wouldn't say few, there's still a lot of their users. They've got an estimate of 390 million users worldwide and that's ain't few.

I'll compare this possible launching of their own stable coin to Facebook's Libra that has failed. They're both planned but not executed so let's see if PayPal will just remain on their planning stage and might end up the same as Libra's.

it would be a great idea, their stable coin should be traded in crypto exchanges, and with that, everything will be easy to use their platform. I'm sure they know how to handle the legal aspects so they'll get approval and everything will run according to plan. Anything that adds users to the crypto space is a good development that's why this one is good for me.
Well, it would be tradable first onto their own platform and as for the exchanges. We know that some of them have their own stable coins and I don't think that they'd be willing to adopt a competitor that might get the volume that should go for their stable coin.

But some exchanges are always willing for this.

Thus, do not forget that this is still in the plans. And plans are not yet the final phase and we have to wait and see if it's really going to work and executed.
2633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Track Record for the year 2022 on: January 12, 2022, 11:07:16 AM
IMHO, it's better to keep it yourselves but no one stops you from sharing your gains and losses publicly. It's somehow a good idea so that you can see your progress and whoever who joins the sharing.

Aside from posting it on this thread, it would be wiser to have it on a spreadsheet so that you can track it with your own personal record and not with a publicly displayed one.

I don't really see other use for such records.
Me either but maybe for comparison purposes?
2634  Other / Off-topic / Re: What do you think about owning and selling your content on social media? on: January 12, 2022, 08:25:45 AM
There were projects that are into this. Like steemit, it's not actually that you're selling your content but you're getting paid if there are a lot of people that likes the content you make.

It's like making content and getting paid for doing so. Just as the same business model with popular social medias that we have right now but they're sharing the revenue through those content creators that does good ones.

It is appealing to me and that really gives the opportunity for those hard working and creators of good contents.
2635  Economy / Economics / Re: Is PayPal plannning to Launch of Own Stablecoin? on: January 12, 2022, 12:47:21 AM
Paypal is the absolute definition of a company that should be using a stablecoin.  Its goes against everything crypto used to stand for, but so does Elon Musk, and crypto 'investors' take his Tweets as the word of God.  Paypal is also what made Elon all his money.  So there is that....

Its not a dying service.  Its used worldwide to send money 10x faster than a bank.  
Yes, it's still popular as it is and got millions of users worldwide so it's not really a dying service, they're just adopting the trend that might get them with their competitors and so they've added crypto.

Also Libra Coin didnt fail.  They changed the name to Diem.
It is the reality that failed and that's why they have to replace the name into Diem. To avoid being tagged to the failed project that they've once worked for.

They are thinking smart on situation since little by little they are been overcome by bitcoin and its a good move for them to adopt bitcoin since this could make them survive in this business so for sure others will follow since this is the new trend right now. Also I see it a good move for having that plan so hopefully they will succeed since there's a huge competitor if we talk about stable coin and for provably they will get a hard time to surpass the other who came out first.
Well, as for the success, we don't know with that. There's too many stable coins in the market already as long as they can provide that they're backed with real money and it's for sure going to be a centralized stable coin.
2636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will be the next big industry move? on: January 11, 2022, 09:29:20 PM
Most of the trend today is relayed on the world of NFT so there's an instance or chance might be they will adopt this kind of a trend right now afaik there's a thread too related to the Gambling and metaverse and also the virtual reality due to pandemic many people now are would like to entertain with this trends its the new meta of the gambling industry well looking forward on it lets see.
The trend that shall mix gambling and NFT, I don't think that's going to be another trend. There has been a lot of projects before the NFTs came that's integrated with gambling and close to the schemes of NFT but they did no good.

But it's quite too early to say that there won't be any success for another tries for this integration. Whatever they come up with another idea, they're for sure going to spend a lot of time thinking how to market it. Thus, it's another trend that has always been on the line and being liked by most of us.
2637  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: an opportunity or preliminary start of bear market?? on: January 11, 2022, 08:19:18 PM
Market was impressive since last year. But after the start of 2022, market start going down and down. It has been saying that, We'll face the bearish market in 2022. Besides lots of people optimistic too & I'm one of them. I thought market will bounce back after weekend end and so many days have gone and no improvement. Yesterday i saw market recovering but now again failed. Still have ether, bnb and others altcoins that i haven’t sold. I don’t understand this is an opportunity or the preliminary start of bear market
It is an opportunity.

Opportunity to accumulate but eventually as much as what we're seeing, the market is starting to recover again but we don't know if this is going to extend until the weekend.

Because after recovering, it's going to be back again and traders will take profit at that time and the market will be going red again. It's always like that and whoever knows it can capitalize from it.

He's such an inspiration and still doesn't see anything have changed from him. I saw how binance started as a project and I just ignored it but him and his team worked hard for it until they've reached success until now.

He saw the falling of other popular exchanges and learned the lesson from here and there so he can provide the best features to his exchange. So that he won't be ending the same as them.

that's very true, paypal users continue to grow even though currently transaction activity on paypal is decreasing because of the many competitors

I agree with @mk14 opinion, paypal is just trying to explore what happens if they execute their plan above, will many support!

the possibility that paypal coin will become "the next failed libra" is also very large
One competitor is bitcoin and even they've just adopted cryptocurrencies, the number of their competitors are growing and that's why instead of beating them, they've joined the game.

We have to see it go first but that comparison of the failure of Libra, it's from a big company but didn't push through. That's why the thought of having that failure is no different from the first projects that have tried it.

Even it is PayPal, they're not exempted of failing with that plan.
2640  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Teaching your kids to gamble. on: January 10, 2022, 07:50:54 PM
That may be sound weird as we're gamblers and we don't want our kids to gamble. But that's the reality, we want the best for them and we know the implications once they become introduced to gambling. They might not control themselves and they're still kids and where they're going to get their money to gamble? from us, parents.

I think it's okay to voiced out gambling to them once you see the signs that their curiosity is also ticking about it. You tell them about habits, the effects of it and based from our opinion, good and bad.
