Good morning WO. I see we are desperately in need of a new poll.

Any realistic TA which says we will see 40k soon?

Only my gut feeling is saying so….
Does that count as TA?

I will allow it.

I think while we are seeing the outer limits of what Vladimir Putin and his army are capable of, we still need to consider whether or not further provocations are even helpful or just add more death and chaos. Unless everything until now that we saw was just Russia throwing their unneeded arsenal, leftovers from the old age.

Either way, we need more diplomacy instead of more war. Americans prefer fighting to the last Ukrainian in order to weaken Russia.
2683  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Let's talk about your next crypto portfolio for 2025 on: June 08, 2022, 12:44:32 PM
When is a good time to start buying altcoins? Is bitcoin ever going to 25,000$ in the coming weeks? How do you plan to start building your portfolio for the next bull market? Is now a good time to start buying?.

A mindset like that is quite dangerous. You can't be flip-flopping on an investment that you have extensively researched and have full faith in. Otherwise you will sell and buy at moments of frightening volatility and not only will you lose money by selling low and buying high, you will lose large chunks just from the trading fees.

Believe in your investment decisions and stop worrying about the "best times" Roll Eyes

This is the time to look around and ask: What else can be done to sustain BTC growth? How to increase interest in BTC? Everything possible is already being done on the stock exchange. Where are the other growth points? Growth points in increasing demand and interest. Experienced people and beginners love to play. Therefore, growth points can be in expanding people's awareness and offering new tools.

I think it's time to make websites with prices in different currencies: dollars, euros and crypto. It seems to me that this will contribute to the popularization of cryptocurrencies. Strengthening the popularity of cryptocurrencies would lead to an increase in their rate, to more lively trading, and as a result, to strengthening the status of cryptocurrencies.

I don't think tje future of BTC (and crypto) is in the hands of the individual, rather governments and bigger players because their addoption (or lessening of regulations / finding a middle ground) is what can push it through to the next stage, so us little people have done their part (more or less) and now we need to see how all this unfolds.

I think that the problem is people who do not understand that Bitcoin never was and never will be in the hands of the government. Their regulations are a farce meant to scare the common person into following orders. The more people finally understand this, the bigger global Bitcoin adoption becomes.

It's a simple matter of time. Sooner or later the government will lose control of money, especially the manipulation of the value of money. That's decentralized freedom.

2686  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PayPal allows users to withdraw Bitcoin to external wallets on: June 08, 2022, 07:57:37 AM
As the title says, PayPal is finally allowing their users to move their Bitcoin to their own wallets. PayPal went a long way, from getting people banned for buying Bitcoin using PayPal ( I know few people that lost their PayPal accounts due that) to now this. I am just curious how many PayPal users will actually go for that option and start taking responsibility for their own money. Somehow I doubt that number will be huge, bits its a good thing to have that option and is a step in the right direction.


Starting today, PayPal supports the native transfer of cryptocurrencies between PayPal and other wallets and exchanges," said the financial giant in a statement. The ability to conduct external transfers on PayPal's crypto platform, an image of which can be seen below, will start rolling out to users today and be available to everyone in the U.S. in the next week or two.



Paypal needs to die out.

It's completely redundant and pointless. Between non-existent customer service and arbitrary bans, it basically borders on between being a scam and being a useless fiat service. I really cannot put into words how much I want Paypal to burn.

Although that they finally decided to give back people a sliver of their own freedom back, so they can buy Bitcoin, is very good news.

The least they can do is unban the people who were unjustly banned. But I'm guessing that's impossible just because of the sheer amount.
2687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever thought of doing your thesis on Gambling ? on: June 07, 2022, 07:53:04 PM

But the mental disorder paper does sound somewhat interesting.  
If I ever gets a chance to do a gambling thesis - I will do it on the side effects of gambling.
Because I have read so much about the destruction made by the gambling. People gets into the gambling but like a muddy puddle they keep pushing themselves in the puddle and its hard to come out of it clean. That's my 2 cents of suggestion
There is advantage as well as disadvantages. Make the thesis along with the success and failure stories. This means make a comparison chart to indicate which stands high among the users. Without that just mentioning the side effects like mental stress, financial burst out etc. You could've read more destruction that have happened out of gambling. Same time there is more success stories that have happened out of gambling.

I guess you are right. If you were to think about it a bit more deeply, you could perhaps find the correct statistics on profit and loss of gamblers, especially those of gambling addicts.

If I were to guess, then I would say 99% are losses, over a long term analysis of their gambling behaviors.

If you go even deeper into the statical nature, you could write a mathematical thesis paper on gambling.
2688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Profitable are Gambling Bots? on: June 07, 2022, 09:43:51 AM
The question of the profitability of gambling bots can be answered by looking at the other bots in other fields of finance which are basically luck based.

Look at trading bots for example: Unless you write your own algorithms then the bot is almost with certainty going to make losses for you.

And the bots which do make money, won't be disclosed to the public. Why give away a good thing? That's like telling everyone the results of a fixed match.  There won't be anyone left to bet on the loser... Roll Eyes
2689  Economy / Gambling / Re: Crypto Bet: A wider Array of Altcoins are being usef on: June 07, 2022, 08:48:42 AM
I think that perhaps the biggest issue with using a diverse array of altcoins is the legal and regulatory aspect. When online gambling casinos use Bitcoin, they can feel safer than when they use some new or untested alternative which may or may not turn out to be a security risk or a regulatory risk. Especially if the coin is ruled a security under the sec for example.

How do you avoid this in your online gambling casino?

Well in that case I would recommend going into psychology or a similar but neurobiological field so you can actually see what exactly is happening to the head of a gambling addict. I bet that whatever it is, it has something to do with a dopamine receptor malfunction.

Same as with drug addicts, really.

It's not good if it happens to someone but everyone has the right to make their own choices.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/kenyan-energy-company-entices-bitcoin-miners-with-geothermal-power

Quote
The country’s main electricity producer has issued a general invite for Bitcoin miners looking to take advantage of its renewable energy facility near the capital, Nairobi.

Kenyan energy company KenGen has put out a call to Bitcoin miners to move nearby and buy its excess renewable power capacity.

KenGen claims 86% of its energy is generated from renewable sources, mostly geothermal from pockets of ground source heat in the Great Rift Valley. Local news outlet The Standard reported that KenGen has space at its new industrial park in Olkaria, near its flagship geothermal power station, which could be rented to Bitcoin (BTC) miners.

The Acting Director of geothermal development at KenGen Peketsa Mwangi said that his company was willing and eager to have the miners call Kenya home.

Bitcoin is going more green, see a country electricity producer calling out for crypto miners to come to their country for crypto mining to mine with green energy, the electricity producer in Kenya, KenGen said 86% of their electricity generation are generated from renewable source. Bitcoin mining is becoming a business in the world that some organizations in a country see that they can make profit from. This will favour Kenya government in earning from bitcoin mining.

That is very nice news!

I always support greener ways of producing electricity. And if you couple that with Bitcoin you can get a nice PR package for two things we should all support.

It doesn't matter where in this world someone mines their Bitcoin. A huge plus that people never seem to mention.

Furthermore more miners will help boost Kenya's economy. Win win  Tongue
2692  Economy / Gambling / Re: Crypto Gambling Review Site on: June 06, 2022, 05:22:23 AM
1xbit is rated on the review site with 95/100. Is this a joke? They are obviously fighting with many scam claims, many of which have been proven quite extensively as far as I understand it.

So I cannot take a review website seriously which obviously does not take it's research seriously.

The best reviews can be found on Bitcointalk, written by senior,  trusted members. So I cannot see myself using your review website  Roll Eyes
2693  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This popular restaurant Accepts Payments In Crypto (Chipotle) on: June 06, 2022, 05:06:11 AM
Chipotle Mexican Grill is indeed a large fast food franchise chain which can bring in quite a nice value raising source for Bitcoin and crypto. Although if they provided some tiny incentives for paying with Bitcoin then I'm sure that value would triple at the very least.

Can't say that I ever heard of Chipotle Mexican Grill outside of the united states so internationally I doubt  this news will have a much larger effect.
2694  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Top Organisations want to move bitcoin to POS on: June 05, 2022, 10:32:02 AM
Perhaps Proof of Stake will be an important, much needed change. But the reason behind doing this is obviously driven by  green reasons (which I support - we need to save our planet and ourselves).

However the underlying problem of people's greed and our reliance on fossil fuels is the real issue. Everything else is a temporary fix.

What we really need is a way to obtain sufficient clean electricity. Once we have that, mining becomes a non-issue.
2695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can You See Or Tell If A Fight Or Event Is Fix ? on: June 05, 2022, 03:34:14 AM
It could be on basketball, boxing or horse racing, or any kind of sport, after being in a particular sport for many years can you see or tell if a fight or event is fixed, there are upsets but in the back of our mind, there's a possibility that the match or game is fixed.
There is indeed a possibility that any match or game is fixed. Just because the tiny unrealistic possibility exists does not merit any realistic concern of having it fixed. I mean, everyone wants to know if a match is fixed. But who is going to tell anyone the truth? And furthermore it's a huge risk to take, the larger the match is.

Now some tiny, underground shady match might definitely be fixed. But you should be able to listen to your gut..

2696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: taking out a loan for a sports bet on: June 05, 2022, 03:19:08 AM
recently I've come across some information for an upcoming soccer match and I'd like to place a big bet of 50-100k, how easy would it be for me to take out a loan and how long would it take? has anyone else done something like this?

feel free to message me or comment below  Smiley

I very much are in doubt over whether or not someone would give you such a large loan just to gamble it all on a bet. How reliable do you think your information is going to be? Not really a smart idea, I would advise against it. And even if you did go through with it, how do you convince anyone to loan you money for gambling unless you have large collateral?

This is the reason, or at least one of the many reasons to never trust politics, politicians or other business crooks, who hide their real intentions behind a poisonous smile. None of them care about morality in the slightest. Don't be fooled.

India is just doing the same as EU has been doing since the EU even came into existence. Chipping away at morality for the sake of money and power...
2698  Economy / Gambling / Re: Betting Bots and Simulators on: June 04, 2022, 10:27:22 PM

Interesting concept for a gambling bot could be perhaps making one very hidden and impossible to detect? I don't have much (or any) experience with gambling bots but as I understand it, the ones you are proposing to us is a bot that's supposed to simulate? You could use them as marketing tools to increase website traffic by giving users the chance to simulate a bet.

I have yet to experience the promised amazing web 3 gambling service. In my own thoughts it would seem that OP will not be able to deliver on his promises if we see or hear nothing from him soon... I can't tell if this is a scam or not just by looking at the non-online website...


Hoping to be proven wrong though... I would love to see web3 implemented into crash.

I predict web3 will have a huge future. But it's still very new.

How about UEFA Nations League ?? 
UEFA Nations League is maybe one of the worst and most boring international competitions in the world that nobody watches, and for me it's even harder to bet on those matches.
Season in domestic leagues just finished, we have world cup coming and now players have to waste time on this  Tongue

Comparing apples to oranges really, there is a big difference between domestic and international. You are measuring the popularity with a crooked ruler, I would say. Of course your domestic sport will always be more watch-worthy to you for national and social reasons. You will not find the same interest in international sports unless your nation is at the time, very involved.
