2741  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trading with Stable Coin - Question on: October 20, 2020, 02:48:22 PM
If you buy Bitcoin at $7000 with $7000 and the price goes to $10,000, your $7000 become $10000 and you exchange the $10,000 back to stablecoin... Your profit is about $3000.

Keep about $2000 back in the stablecoin, then use the remaining $8000 from the stablecoin to purchase another Bitcoin, , if Bitcoin goes back up to say $10,000, you exchange it back to stablecoin with additional profit of $2000. Your total profit is more than 50%  of  your initial investment of $7000

I don't recommend trading with big amount or amount you can't afford to lose/risk. If you are a good trader and can afford to risk a million dollar in trading, then go for it.
I wouldn't bother about making "much" if I did not invest alot of money. I think I will gradually increase my trading fund as I gradually become better at trading and earn more. So, I will be patient with the profit as I learn with small amount of money.

In my opinion, If the platform is truely decentralized, the recovery of the fund would be discussed openly before decision is taken.  
I don't really have problems with recovering of funds as long as it's really a mistake. The irreversible feature of true Cryptocurrency shouldn't affect such cases if the owners can prove it was mistake, possibly with the receivers confirming it. By the way, the address this was sent to is a fair proof it was a mistake or was probably sent by the sender to prove something.
There should be a transparent community responsible for fund recovery incase a real crypto plans to implement it. .

Not really poverty. The root cause is sin or satan power over a person. Prostitutes don't necessarily have to be only those whose main business involves prostitution. Many people usually have sex with people they are not married to for reward or for money.  By the way, the one giving the money and the one collecting for sex are involved.
2745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New Normal Game Setup - a success or a failure? on: October 20, 2020, 08:33:42 AM
I think the implementation of the new normal is quite successful, because I saw the leagues starting to be active again and there were no fans who looked directly at the stadium,
and I see that on social media the fans are still enthusiastic even though they only see at home, and I really support this new normal because it helps to prevent the spread of the corona virus,
The conditions need to keep like that, so the infection among the people can reduce. Until the situations can be normal again, the audience doesn't need to visit the stadium, and they can watch the match from their home. I hope that what we see in the sports can be applied too in the public area because the public area will have many people than the stadium. If all people can try to protect themselves and always follow the protocols, I am sure the number of infections can drop.

As long as the public areas follow the rules that was set up for people to follow to avoid crowds and spread the disease. If everyone follows the stadium/football example, it will be disastrous for the world. The important thing to is to make sure everyone stick to the rules while going about their normal businesses/activities.

... What if the outcomes will change due to key players testing positive and weaker ones playing? Wouldn't it twist the games a lot, making them less predictable and less satisfying?
Do you think it's a big factor to take into account given the current situation?

Definitely yes! it should be take in count and could be a strong boost for betting strategy.
if you are aware that some players or an entire teams is suffering from this situation is really easy take an advantage even if the odds are small (@1.10). Until the distribution of a vaccine or any other therapeutic agent we will see more and more of these events.


Ofcourse. I don't think "taking advantage of the situation" is the most appropriate words to use. The important thing is to bet/predict the team that will win based on your analysis. What matters is to be able to predict right based on available factors.

Having money involved doesn't make it gambling. If I stake other valuable things aside money (like a banana, apple, meat, etc) to prove my skills/reputation or how good and trusted I'm in my predictions and I lose it for not being correct, is that still gambling?
Yes, I think that is still gambling because you risk something, and no matter if you win or lose, you still gamble.
And no matter what involving in that risk, that is gambling.

Would you then call forex, stock,  precious metals trading, etc gambling? The traders clearly risk money to bet on price of currencies and commodities.
If those are gambling, then lot of other things I didn't mention here could easily be classified as gambling.
I hope you are not basing you definition/meaning on online dictionary definitions. They certainly can be proven wrong
I would call it's gambling if you don't have enough knowledge about trading.
But if you have skills and are willing to learn more about trading, that will not be the same as gambling because you can analyze the market, and you can find the right way to enter the market and sell the coins when it increases.
I would agree with what @dunfida says that will depend on how we approach those things.
But we can not blame people if they call gambling because what we think will not be the same as them.
But we might agree that gambling has money involved with those things, and we risk that money to get the other money.
Geez, the meaning of gambling can be different between one person to another person.
Let people decide if that is gambling or not because they will have their opinion regarding gambling and accept what they said about gambling will be good for both people.


Agreed. I think the problem I have with this is the confusion in the the true meaning of the word. People tend to think that all bettors are gamblers and all gamblers are bettors. That confusion is what I usually disagree with. I have bet on lottery, stock, currencies etc in the past but I don't consider some of them a gamble,except maybe my bet on stock and some currencies. I bet with what I can afford to lose except on the stock & few currencies.
I would consider the stock a gamble and not my childhood bet on lottery and a kid game.

It's interesting that they have no warning whatsoever.  Wish they had "Unverified Projects" close to the "New", plus *Use at your own risk* in red or something. Besides, it's better to have the unverified projects on separate page and the verified ones on main page. Thought that was part of the reason the platform was bought.. to sanitized it?
2749  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Exchanges are guilty of preventing Bitcoin mass adoption on: October 19, 2020, 03:48:23 PM
Well, the solution to this is decentralized exchanges and a decentralized mechanism to regulate the price of Bitcoin, all within the Bitcoin Network, and accountable to the Network. The centralized platforms/exchanges are more like foreign bodies outside of the network that are not bounded by its rules/principles..Worst still, they are opaque and mutable. Such setup could easily be used against the Bitcoin Network without the network knowing.
2750  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Rare Batman art sold for ~$200K (302.5 ETH (~$111K) and 540.86 ETH) on: October 19, 2020, 03:27:39 PM
is this really worth that money, i am not sure what is bought, but if that is this on the video, i am not sure that this is worth this amount of money

picture like this could be done by any street portrait artist for $10, or even less, in five minutes, and could be better, not sure that this is a way to adoption, it is just people that have too much crypto, spending it un-productive, or even worse, just "wash trading" between friends to make news channels


I didn't see much on the picture. Maybe they have something hidden there other people don't know about? I remember staring at an image some years ago, only to start seeing  "hidden" features normal eyes wouldn't have seen...That is one of the things I suspect is going on with some of those expensive arts with price tags that make no sense.


And another possible reason, is secret codes, puzzles etc, that people are trying to solve, or that have known codes or secrets only the owners/buyers know about(or will know about) . The code/secret could have keys to something of great value.
2751  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Time that there will be no new altcoin projects anymore on: October 19, 2020, 10:07:52 AM
Even in good free market, people will still keep developing/creating in that manner until it's no longer necessary.

I think what needs to be done is to subject the new projects to high/quality/good standards before they are available for public use. If this is done, the substandard/bad projects will hardly make it, creating good projects will now require more effort and time.  
If bad projects are stopped while the substandard ones are prevented from appearing to the public for serious usage, the number of tokens/coins appearing for public use will drop.
I do not believe in censoring people's projects if what they are doing is right/good.
2752  Other / Off-topic / Re: Grammarly for a good use. on: October 19, 2020, 09:12:04 AM
Guess I've once tried the site years ago. I'm not sure i was too satisfied then...i can't remember exactly why.     I wonder if there is anyone available that is almost accurate, or without too many mistakes.
In regards to the grammar, i imagined that one day people who are good in their languages will be able to find errors in people's posts, correct them and get rewarded. The post owner could then be made to merge the corrected grammer to his/her post (if it doesn't change the actual meaning of the post) in order to pass in the area of grammer, and probably get rewarded with points for correct grammar.

It can be considered depending on how you do approach it but on general theres a fine line between those things.Take for example on doing trading where
a thing hing that can really be profitable if done correctly which your skills and analysis will work but if you done nothing between the two then you're just simply making some gamble. It might not really be literally but basing on what you are doing then you are definitely doing it.Its just a matte on what are your
views towards those things.I cant say he's totally wrong with his in point yet he do really had a valid point.


Ofcourse! It still boils down on taking big risks on bets. If you are a skilled/successful bettor, specifically a bettor who is consistently successful, you can't be considered a gambler nor can be considered to be taking big risk. Gambling is simply taking big risk, whether in governance, health, betting, foods, etc. A stock/currency trader who takes big risk in stock trading is a gambler while a player who takes little occasional risk on dice bets is not.
2754  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A case of the pandemic changing the score and affecting sports betting on: October 19, 2020, 07:55:10 AM
I really agree if it is said that the COVID19 pandemic has an effect on match scores and also sports betting. Because some home
matches now make no difference to away matches, this is because there is no live audience. Then many players were infected with
the corona virus, making several teams lose their star players. This ultimately gave many surprises to the results of the match,
many strong teams were defeated by weak teams in pandemic situations like now. So it's no wonder that many bettors experience losses.

Guess the bettors should have factored the losses of star players to the disease. I think this is why it's very important to properly analyze a match before betting. This's something that will take alot of data, thinking and time to do.  Some probably don't spend time on this because they see it as luck-based or mere guessing thing
2755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beware of fixed matches offer - member wbet7pending! on: October 19, 2020, 07:27:10 AM
Selling fix matches is enough to distrust him/her. It's clearly illegal/immoral to fix matches not to talk of selling fix matches for people to bet on.
Sometimes I wonder if people who encourage this things know it's wrong to do so.
2756  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Lightning based token system backed by real goods on: October 16, 2020, 05:55:27 PM
It's actually one of the things that interest me most in Cryptocurrency. That is, buying tokens/coins backed by physical assets.
I prefer decentralized approach to this... so that people can actually own the physical goods immediately they buy their tokens on exchanges/platforms. For example, if you buy 10apple or a bad of rice, you are automatically given the address/location (with private keys) to redeem your goods. There could be some insured stores/warehouses closed to buyers locations where they can go pick up their locked goods whenever they want to.
 In times of serious crisis, goods could optionally be buried in the ground for buyers dig up.
2757  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: btc volaitlity and price also the eth and others on: October 16, 2020, 04:52:34 PM
You could use stablecoin for that. Hope you know what stablecoin is. It's basically coin that is designed to be "stable"... as stable as fiat currencies or  some other stable things.

Stablecoin and cryptocurrency like Bitcoin can exist side by side. One can be used more for buying and selling while the other can be used more as Store of value, or for saving coins/assets(long-term saving esp) .
A good Cryptocurrency would keep increasing in price as people find it valuable/useful, hold/save it and demands keep increasing. This feature (called deflationary feature) protects savers funds from future inflation.
 By the way, price of goods and services could be both in stablecoin and cryptocurrency. The stablecoin could help make things less confusing for buyers and sellers when Bitcoin/crypto fluctuates

I'm not really interested in a voice assistant...
my husband and I live in a cramped house, if I use a voice assistant it really disturbs my children, it's much better if I only use the keyboard. but I think this is a good idea for those who are lazy to use the keyboard.


Noise is one of reasons i never really used it that much.  I just see it as optional writing tool incase of emergency, when I have something on my hands, or when I want to test it.
Not sure if i have ever used it on computer for anything serious. Tend to be more  accurate and easy on phones than laptops.
2759  Other / Off-topic / Re: I drank 1.5 gallons of beer yesterday on: October 16, 2020, 10:39:23 AM
The problem with drinking is abusing it, just like any other natural foods and drinks. And always make sure it's good drink. There are lots of bad alcoholic drinks from my experience.
If I ever want to drink, I'd go for good palmwine, good bitter-drinks, wines based on fruits like grape/vine, etc. They must not contain artificial chemicals/substances nor genetically engineered.

It shouldn't be recommended to people with little to no self control. If you must recommend/give it to people for health reasons, give them alittle bit of those that are very bitter or sour.

2760  Other / Off-topic / Re: Genetic Cloning on: October 16, 2020, 10:07:25 AM
The problem is that anything done by human hands that is not directed/lead by GOD is dangerous.
It's risky to trust things made by people under the power of sin/satan.
So, I will not recommend it if GOD doesn't direct and approve it.
