2721  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin for Afghanistan and Taiwan on: August 19, 2021, 01:55:37 PM
I like the idea of having protection from what currency they have. I hope that a lot of people from there have managed to stash some cryptocurrency to prevent those losses that can incur from what you have said. I didn't know that Taiwan is in a rough spot now or is in the hot waters with the recent happenings. I hope nothing bad happens to them though.
2722  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Roobet is scam on: August 19, 2021, 12:36:07 PM
Knowing already that you are not allowed makes sense to lock you out of your account already. I mean, it should've not been possible at all, so I think it's kind of your fault somehow. You should've known that it could happen anytime.

I don't think they are a scam. They have a good reputation and are a grand online casino. The best thing that they could do is to give you your earnings from referrals because it still benefits them.

2723  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: With all your assets, Investing in Bitcoin is really a madness or beneficial ? on: August 18, 2021, 07:12:40 AM
People are saying that it's beneficial, but during that time, they are considered madmen because of what they are doing. Since they believe that BTC would be the future, they didn't have to worry about anything, and it just paid off. I think it's no different to gamblers who risk everything they have in betting or even a single bet. It's just that it's crazy to do it, but if you have the dedication to it, it just paid off.
2724  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What lie did you tell? on: August 18, 2021, 03:37:47 AM
First of all, I'm sorry that you got a beating from your parents. It's never a good thing to experience, and it might have caused some trauma. I hope you didn't take it in the present too much that it might have caused problems for you.

Anyway, I think it's natural to be secretive at first with what you're doing if it's harmful in your household. I believe that's the problem that children face when they know it's wrong but still want to see it, and in return, they just lie. I think the relationship between the parent and the child should be trust base and let them understand why it's not good or why it's something to be frowned upon.

Of course, nobody in this world hasn't told a lie, even a white lie. I think everybody has, and it's always going to be for some reason that is okay for them. I have lied to get what I want, for example, lied about where I was going. If it's far away, I tend to say that I'm going somewhere closer, but that's not something that someone should be doing. It might have caused me trouble thinking that it was okay, but it certainly is not.

I'm going to stop rumbling around now, lol.
2725  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: I started a porn site that pays you in Bitcoin. on: August 18, 2021, 12:20:32 AM
Would you pay the creators as well? Not just the audience that watches it? If this became anonymous completely I think a lot of people would be interested in something like this.

We have our own system in place to payout people. Not to go give too much away, but the funds we pay people come from us directly, there is no waiting on an ad network to first pay us. That is why everyone receives a "dividend" within an hour of watching a few videos. Of course, the amount paid out varies on several multiples.
How is that profitable on your part if it comes into this? Paying people just to watch? I'm not sure how you would operate a business like this if you were to do this long-term.
2726  Economy / Economics / Re: How to identify high-quality projects in the primary market? on: August 17, 2021, 04:28:08 PM
Mostly, it's because of the actual application on it and why would some funding sites invest and market it. I think the most probable factor that it's going to boom is its partners and backing with partnerships that promote their project. That's how I would know that it's a great project. I think the new projects right now have to stake, and they are aiming to have it locked and vested at a later date.

With this, I think it's better to determine scam projects instead of identifying high-quality ones. It just comes second IMO.
2727  Economy / Economics / Re: Warning against CBDC from bank of Ghana on: August 17, 2021, 04:14:29 PM
Maybe the bank of Ghana is unaware of the actual purpose of CBDC's. Isn't the current banking system where it's all digital is almost the same? The only thing unique about CBDC's is that it's centralized. I think they don't need it currently and what they need is the decentralization factor that cryptocurrencies offer and with these action, it might not be so crypto-friendly to begin with.
2728  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Metal Stand Blueprint for asics? on: August 17, 2021, 03:47:24 PM
Why not use a good dissipater of heat? Probably not fully metal frame but a ceramic tabletop that could have better thermal conductivity and can resist high temperature that could damage the table in the long run.

I don't think you need a special blueprint, just possibly a plan on how you will set up your Asics and how many will be placed on a single layer, etc. Reverse engineer it and then make the necessary measurements.
2729  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bots and fake accounts in Telegram channels on: August 17, 2021, 03:15:01 PM
I know that there are certain services that you could get from moderating of Telegram Groups. Most of it are for limiting the number of joiners and members. What I see with moderation of channels are below.
  • Moderators are actively checking the channel
  • Enforcing Bot Verifiers so that the new member can be kicked if it doesn't answer the correct question.

The problem that I see mostly in channels are the ability of people to add members to another channel. This is true, of course, with those whose profiles are not in private or they  just allow this type of thing to exist and not change a thing about their setting.
2730  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Microsoft to use Blockchain technology to fight privacy on: August 17, 2021, 01:37:30 PM
If everyone understands the reality and the advantages of cryptocurrency blockchain being applied to various industries, it's the catalyst for the revolution of transparency and privacy. This would be troublesome for those involved in the piracy scene and providing those "cracks" with software. It could change the whole set, and I think it's for the better. They will get richer, though, but that's what they are doing it for.
2731  Other / Archival / Re: Bitmex changes the fee rate. Good news and bad news on: August 17, 2021, 02:18:17 AM
This is saddening for me especially because I'm a market maker with these exchanges and the rebate is quite a significant portion of the profits I'm making with this market-making strategy. I hope sooner or later they bump it back up but it's undoubtedly not going to happen lol. I wasn't aware of these changes so thank you for this update.
2732  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin increase wealth equality? on: August 16, 2021, 02:13:57 PM
Are you talking about overall equality? Because that's never going to happen because the richer would just get richer and the poor just get crumbs or something. Unless they try to invest in it, they will probably use it for necessities instead of Bitcoin. With the current situation that we are in, it's not going to be distributed to the masses because it's long gone. Early adopters, on the other, have the feeling of the make it or break it type of thing.
2733  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Emotions should never be traded. on: August 15, 2021, 04:41:44 PM
Perfectly said, I overthink so much and it affects me so bad in the crypto space, not being able to make the right decision at the right time, I find myself always in the FOMO state, this makes me loose when am not supposed to and it's really so bad, and am trying to change that. Being emotional isn't good in this space and I will do my best not to be an over thinker, and will always make the right choices at the right time.
I do believe that it's natural to feel those things and expect that it's going to go in your way but mostly, it never does. It's ecstatic to know if it did but it's always going to be based on luck and never going to happen all the time. That's why there are strict risk management techniques that you should be utilizing in order to be successful in this trading. Whether it's in crypto or in stocks, it should be followed all the time.
2734  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Always pump after sold holdings. on: August 14, 2021, 04:12:56 PM
It almost always happens. I mean, that's the volatility working and the unpredictability of the market making its way to us in trading. It's not that rare to have the opportunity of the right call, and it's just that there's the notion of people where they think these things below
  • Hoping that they could've sold higher
  • Hoping that they could've cut their losses earlier

Both of these scenarios can happen to you, and every time it does, people think that it happens all the time because of the "hope" that it instills in trading. I guess being emotionless can lessen these types of thoughts when it comes to these things.
2735  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoin - bull run? on: August 14, 2021, 09:57:03 AM
With the current trend that I'm seeing, the NFT games are most likely to bring fruitfulness to investments knowing that the situation we have right now in the world is most likely focused on staying-at-home projects, and a lot of people are into gaming. The gaming industry is huge right now and could get bigger once more players are entering this space. I would choose some of the famous NFT games that would bear fruit for sure.
2736  Economy / Speculation / Re: No BTC Holding is risky on: August 13, 2021, 03:14:22 AM
I had the same sentiment about this because, in the recent breaking of ATH, I didn't have any holdings to benefit from it. I had altcoins that rode the highs, but it's still different. Now I allocate a percentage of it whenever I receive BTC and leave the remainder in BTC. I believe this is one of the best ways to secure some gains in the long term, knowing that BTC could be worth more than it is.

The best way to think about this is to remember that it's not too late.
2737  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Where is the best platform to trade futures and contracts with high leverage? on: August 12, 2021, 02:32:41 PM
I do think you could use ByBit for that type of leverage. Most of the top exchanges right now decreased their leverage because of the volatility and traders getting liquidated because they are not experienced with that. If you are going to do that, I would suggest for you just gamble it in a casino, maybe you can get an x1000 for your capital. *Definitely not a financial advice
2738  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFT Games Development on: August 12, 2021, 02:00:48 PM
Gaming industry is bigger than music and film industries combined. Designing a high quality game costs a LOT of money.
This is probably why there are a lot of people developing games right now and make them "reminisce" some of the old times or the current generation experience during their early days.

You are probably talking about indie games, which are low-cost games.
A played an indie game recently which a liked a lot, Hollow Knight, it was partially costed by $57k
Still to produce something like this is a feat, and developing it with the blockchain tech with collectibles would be nice and would really give value to the time given by the players.

You need talented designers to create a beautiful game, you need to create nice sounds/music, it is not a one man task. You need years of development and some amount of funds to hire people.
I do believe that and need to be with someone with a background on UI/UX design and sound production for that. Probably the best way to approach this is to create a company and ask for funding that support startups etc.

I think that for a blockchain game you will also need some blockchain developers (solidity). There are some guides on the web, such as https://cryptozombies.io/
I did find this resource and I managed to finish the first chapter "Making the Zombie Factory. Now I'm on to the next lol. Maybe this could help me visualize and internalize what I can develop with this.
2739  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I see the whole thing from a different angle on: August 12, 2021, 08:01:53 AM
This is what you are talking about, right?

https://www.reuters.com/technology/defi-platform-poly-network-reports-hacking-loses-estimated-600-million-2021-08-11/

Anyway, the article states that the hackers did it for fun and said that it's going to be returned and not interested in the money involved. See the quotes below.
A person claiming to have perpetrated the hack said they did it "for fun" and wanted to "expose the vulnerability" before others could exploit it, according to digital messages shared by Elliptic, crypto tracking firm, and Chainalysis.

It was "always the plan" to return the tokens, the purported hacker wrote, adding: "I am not very interested in money."

Your reasoning could be one way to say that they couldn't get away freely, but it could also be this above where they just wanted to show the possible threats and vulnerabilities of these technologies that we have now.

I'm curious about what people would feel involved in DeFi and what they think about it.
2740  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / NFT Games Development on: August 12, 2021, 05:58:56 AM
With the year 2021, I noticed that the boom in NFT games has been hyped ever since the lockdown. We are experiencing a bunch of influx of players to cryptocurrency platforms because of these games.

I'm curious as to how much hard and capital is need for this? Below are some questions that are itching to be answered.
  • In developing a game, usually you would need a game development design form, is it the same as when you are developing a game for blockchain?
  • Essential core team member parts that are needed?
  • Whitepaper first?
  • Possible book references in this gaming industry relating to blockchain

Maybe these simple questions can help others develop their own games/dApps as well.
