2781  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can the market build an immune system against meddling from influencer like Musk on: July 05, 2021, 09:43:37 PM
The thing about "immunity" is that would that work just for Elon? Or for everyone else? I mean we do not know if we want just the bad stuff, or do we really do not care about the good ones as well? When Elon Musk was saying great things about crypto we were all happy about it, but when he started to say some bad stuff suddenly we started to hate him.

He was talking about 1.5 billion dollar investment to bitcoin, accepting bitcoin for tesla purchases, and then doing much more with dogecoin as well and everything was looking good and I didn't see many people complaining, I tried to tell people that its dangerous yet nobody cared.

However now that in the past one or two months he started to say stuff that is not ideal for the crypto world and the price went down, suddenly people are realizing how dangerous it is for him to have this much influence over crypto prices. Either we get rid of both the goods and the bads or you have to take the bad with the good.

We use cryptocurrency means, we have full control for our crypto and we will decide when we should sell or buy or hold or whatever we want. We become our own masters because we can manage it for our life. But unfortunately, right now, we can not do that because that will depend on the government regulations and they will not easily accept crypto because they can not fully control the crypto. But we have the power to control our crypto and as long as we can send our crypto to other people, we still are our own masters.
I think you misunderstood the question or maybe I misunderstood. I think the point made in OP was that, we see so many cryptocurrencies right now because people want to feel like the owner of the coin than the user of it. There are so many coins and nearly all of them serve the same purpose so why do we have them? I think one reason might be as discussed in OP that people want more power but the other basic reason is that people want more money and it's not possible to make the biggest amounts with other coins so everyone creates their own coin.

People love bitcoin for the same reason, they feel like the rightful owner when they have a decentralized currency. The same feeling cannot be achieved from a centralized dollar or any fiat for that matter.

Hi, I love slots and I play slots whenever I have a chance to but as much as I love playing slots I don't really earn much in them. Nostly the good games are not available in my region and it really sucks. Can someone explain why they don't give access to games with great payout to people from other regions? I find it quite unfair.
Any gambling sites will not give you any restrictions until the government of you restrict to use the service. So, you should know about the rules of your country regarding the acceptance/denied of gambling on your site. Also, you may check banking rules of you.
That's right but I actually see a lot of players from countries where gambling is banned on almost all casinos and sportsbooks, for example in India sports betting from what I know is illegal but yet most sportsbooks are accepting players from India and they have no restriction. I guess most of the casinos wait till they get some kind of warning or official letter to stop players from their country from the officials or the government representative.

Don't ever play guys using a VPN guys because it will only create more problems for you than good. There are many cases where the player was found to be playing from a restricted country and labelled as cheating the casino, I don't know how someone playing against a house edge is cheating the casino. I agree one should not play from banned countries but still, it shouldn't be classified as cheating. At best, the casino should just pay out the deposits and block the user from playing any further.
2784  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it good to allow Black Money to be whiten by investing in Stock? on: July 05, 2021, 09:05:20 PM
Recently, I have read an update of the budget of Bangladesh where a bill of increasing (25% now) the rate for whitening black money has been passed.
I am glad they increased the rate because such practices are shady and never helping the economy at all. I mean someone can scam others and even get his money to whiten/legit by paying a small sum of money? That's horrendous I think. I understand the government wants people to pay taxes and maybe pay their taxes properly from the next cycle but this opens the door for people who earned their money illegally as well.

According to that, one can whiten their black money by investing in stock market and they have to pay 25% fee to the government. Before this year, the rate was 10%.
Is it healthy for the economy?
I know you are Bangladeshi and it feels bad to say but I think your government is only thinking about taxes right now. How does this helps the economy is beyond my understanding from whatever little knowledge I have about how economies grow.

Some problems I directly see are:

1- More people will evade taxes now and if caught can always pay the 25% and get away. 10% was even more criminal because it's like encouraging people to avoid paying taxes.

2- Theft will certainly increase because people know how to get their money to whiten.

I have been using Opera for years and I believe it is by far the best browser in the world, it is not even clogging the computer like chrome when I have tens of tabs open, I guess it just puts them on sleep or something because when I have 20 tabs open on Chrome it just churns ram and suddenly my computer is on fire, literally the same computer that can play any game on very high graphics suddenly gets hot just from chrome, Opera fixed that and it has built in many things as well, blocking ads, vpn and many other stuff.

And roobet has been nothing but sugar to me using opera, it does have a ton of problems when I use VPN but that is a risk I take and not a technological risk, it is a risk I take by showing my KYC that is some other nation then where my IP could be showing and that is fine, if it is a problem then it is a problem and I will face it like a man.
2786  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to the coins after your death ? on: July 05, 2021, 08:28:44 PM
In most of the cases when the person dies, his crypto would become useless if his family member do not know about his keys.

I do not usually tell my password or keys to anyone and i know majority of the people don't do this. We are being taught to keep the keys safe.
No one think that one day he will die and in that case, his family won't be able to use those savings (bitcoin/crypto) if they don't know the keys.
Also people won't like to share keys with siblings or wife because they can misuse them . So what could be the solution to this  Huh
When someone dies their coins are gone as well.And I know for sure that a lot of people worry about giving their keys to their family while they are still alive, maybe to one reason or the other , they feel they can’t trust them so it’s best that they keep it to themselves. I wouldn’t blame such people, that’s why it is very important to develop trust in a every family, so that if anything happens, there will always be people takes over. Maybe you can use your lawyer, and he or she will be the one to handle such information and keep it ,so that if anything happens ,then they will bring it out.

Although I wont say you can trust your lawyer hundred percent. It’s best to work hard now and provide for your family so they wouldn’t have the need to be looking for your bitcoins, rather they will have enough to invest their own. Or you can even make use of online wallets and use email to lock it, so when they gain access to your email, they can as well access your wallets.
2787  Economy / Gambling / Re: btb88.com Casino & Sportsbook 🔥 NO DEPOSIT 2 mBTC 🔥 Licensed & Regulated on: July 05, 2021, 08:05:05 PM
I participated in The Euro's 2021 and Copa America Football Predictor I get reward 6 mbtc but i found something weird and funny
6 mbtc wagered  120 mbtc on sports betting  min odds x2.00

I also saw this in Promotion Terms and Conditions:

12.   The maximum withdrawal from winnings generated from the 'Football Predictor' is 25 mBTC, any additional winnings will be forfeited.


I think there is something strange I hope there is an update on the wagered or maximum withdrawal
So the rollover is 20 times with 2.00 or higher odds? that must be really hard to achieve. I thought the free bet was meant to be a bonus without restrictions, anyways not that I took part so good to know because I won't try for it, wagering 20x is really hard although it's free money so can't complain either.

AIRDROP ALERT

If you aren't already on our airdrop list, don't forget to PM me your btb88 username! We're airdropping sports bonuses into all our favourite forum member's accounts today!
Nicely done there, don't just offer players to post their usernames for the bonus because it would come under incentivize posting and would result in a ban.

The site looks really clean and I might register soon but I was hesitant to complete the KYC procedure last time I visited because although looks cool, bt88 is still fairly new Smiley.
2788  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people are comfortable investing in government controlled investments on: July 05, 2021, 07:46:19 PM
People usually prefer government controlled investment, no doubt about that. I have talked to people about Bitcoin and they always say that it is not backed by the government and it is not centralized, so they don’t see the need to invest in it because they feel it is not safe.

One of them told me that he wouldn’t invest in anything that doesn’t have to do with centralization or have any control unit, because it is not safe. I don’t hold it against them, because I know things are different for everyone, from the level of understanding, to finance, and the level of risk we can take and handle and all that. And moreover, I don’t expect everyone to be part of the cryptocurrency community, if you can, then go for it. Nobody is being forced.

Check out this big win on our Sportsbook! Shocked



So... How was your Mega Race today?
Quite a win and I never expected Atlanta to win against the Bucks away from home because we know the Bucks home court is loud and hostile. I actually had a bet on hawks but it was a small bet and more in hope that they can take the 14-point lead soon because I seriously doubted them to win, they did win though course. I wish they could win the 6th game and force the decider but it was a good competitive series, contrary to what most predicted.

It's good to see the monthly million race back in action but I wish there were some small ones like 30 minute race randomly so we small players can sometimes get lucky. It's nearly impossible to win anything decent with so many big players at stake in the million dollar race. Some really good promotions for sports so I'm happy but please focus a little bit on small players who make bets on the casino.
2790  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the only thing that humans cannot control on: July 05, 2021, 07:03:54 PM
It can be controlled, but it is difficult to control it. And I don’t think Bitcoin is the only thing that is beyond control, there are many things that man cannot control. Controlling Bitcoin is not an impossible thing to do, but it will be a difficult thing. Maybe it might seem impossible to us because no one is ready to go through that stress. It’s just like the 51% attack that everyone has been talking about for long, if some big miners should join together, they might accomplish that feat. But none of them would do that. There are other things to do, but the thing is that no one is ready for it. So it’s going to continue to be above control.
2791  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Market is recovering, what steps are you taking? on: July 05, 2021, 06:23:43 PM
In investing you must research in detail each coin you want to invest and also remember to be prepared to accept any risk that you have decided. instead of investing using cold money. yes, one week ago the market was bearish where the price of btc and also other altcoins decreased in price. and at that time i thought to add some top coin investments of my choice and till today the coins i bought have made quite a lot of profit.
By cold money do you mean savings? I would be not hesitant to invest my savings into Bitcoin but I will wait for the price to rob a little bit more before I buy some more and I have already purchased some when the price was around $28k. So obviously after grabbing the possible bottom prices, like most people I am also expecting the market to recover toward a new ATH.

buy a coin that you think is good and has the potential to be at the forefront of the market recovery this time, and remember, always use idle money capital, and divide it into several altcoins in investing
And even when you invest in a coin that has a good market cap, make sure to follow the news around it. Ripple has always been among top coins but people who know problems they have with SEC will hardly ever invest much in it.
2792  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Neglected Quality Blockchain Projects on: July 05, 2021, 05:45:12 PM
What other good blockchain projects have you found that have been overlooked?
First and foremost I would say that the TRON blockchain in itself is the most overlooked project of them all. Apart from it, there was MATIC (polygon) which came into light only recently.

Other than these, i am not able to see any others. But i am damn sure that i have probably overlooked the others too  Tongue
TRON is good no doubt but there must be some reason because unlike Erc-20 and Bep-20 there are not many projects that are built on the Trc-20 (TRON) blockchain. The transactions are cheap and fast but still, people preferred moving to the BEP20 when the transaction fees issue was severe with Ethereum but no one still wanted to move on the Tron blockchain.

For long-term value, I think BNB is a pretty decent coin because they burn some BNB and there's a fixed supply of 200M tokens if I am not wrong. Binance is undoubtedly the best exchange in the market as well so I feel it has some good value and then I believe Solana and Polkadot are other good ones on the list.
2793  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: How to punish scammer? on: July 05, 2021, 03:43:58 PM
The amount is not significant, but I want to somehow punish this scammer.
The only possible way of punishing someone is to contact them via another telegram ID and try to get more details about them. I mean it might or might not work but obviously, the scammer would have blocked you, I assume by now.

I sent a Tether to the Tron blockchain, there is no outgoing transaction from his wallet, most likely this is his own wallet, what can you think of?
Yeah surely if the coins aren't moved yet, it surely belongs to him. Usually, coins at an exchange's address are moved immediately.

Or forget and forgive?)
I don't know what to suggest but if I was in your shoes and got scammed for a small amount, I wouldn't bother wasting time with a scammer and instead forget and move on. If the guy for any reason needed that money like some kind of emergency, I would even feel fine about getting scammed but obviously, we can't know it.
2794  Economy / Reputation / Re: How to promote fake Wallet and Ponzi scheme at the same time. on: July 05, 2021, 02:44:29 PM
The number of likes is surely fake and purchased, the number of views might be correct given the dislikes. I felt even the comments made below the video are paid and obviously fake.

It baffles me to think how someone could be so idiotic that they believe money or bitcoin doublers actually exist. I mean there are fake Binance giveaways and Musk giveaways on Twitter and people actually fall for it, just bizarre and beyond my level of understanding. I mean if Musk wants to gift coins he can do that directly, why would he ask first.

There are countless ponzi schemes and people despite knowing the model of a ponzi is to scam at the end because no ponzi can last forever, still invest and lose money.
2795  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stop losses on: July 05, 2021, 09:34:24 AM
Stop loss is commonly used when you do trading, but actually, I am not into trading because it is really risky for me as I dont have good knowledge about technical analysis, so I am more focused on investing which is really profitable for me, just make sure always that you have invested in good coins so you can assure that you can earn good profit on it, avoid coins that are only pump and dum it won't survive in the long term.
Actually investing is one of the two pillars of trading. Trading means buying an asset or coin at the best price and selling them at the peak value. If you are investing still I would suggest you to use stop-loss because although you are banking on the futuristic value of the coin and have invested for the long term, it is always good to have a stop loss in case the project falls off for any reason or there is not enough interest towards it.

Setting a stop-loss doesn't mean you will have loss, if you feel you have high confidence in your investment, then you can set a low stop-loss such that it won't trigger below a particular amount and since you have faith in your decision, it shouldn't go down to that point and if it does go down that low, I guess you made a mistake and stop-loss saved you from a bigger loss.
2796  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is Trading Plane ? on: July 05, 2021, 08:01:12 AM
Trading plan is a way to ensure safe funds without risking too much or too small. It is a set of rule that guide one from trading and making decisions about the market. This rules are set by an individual to guide through risks, stop lose, take profit and patterns use in trading. A lot of new traders are not always conscious about their plans which contains all rules guiding individual trade.
A trading plan is a must for everyone and you're right most of the new traders are not conscious and aware enough to make a rigid plan and stick to it. Being a trader is as serious as maintaining a business hence one must have a well defined plan and the mentality to stick with it even when the market is unfavorable.

There could be a lot of things you should include when making a trading plan but some of the crucial things are:

1- Time & Capital management
2- Recovery planning along with alternative plans
3- Tools required for trading and the knowledge to use them

Yeah, they are. And you are right that their team is active and responsible.
And once if we have an issue or they have such issues with our account, they are very active on their support service by email. They are active on the worktime and will reply to our email soon. They are also responsible for what their user's problem and try to solve the problem soon. I can say so because I also ever had this kind of issue and the issue was clear and done less than 24 hours.
Yes I'm playing on their site but not very active and there are no complaints on how they run their gambling site, there's an existing complaint about Stake now, hopefully no Betfury players will experience the same thing, it's inconvenince for a player to have a huge amoun tto withdraw but he cannot I hoep they can keep their repuation clean, honestly they have a lot of better features than other gambling sites.
Every casino will eventually have at least one problem, it is the nature of the business and that is how it works. At the end of the day it is coding, most of this is just pure coding (and some design of course) and codes could always have problems, and maybe even loopholes if you are not careful enough, which means there is always at least one thing that people will complain about eventually. Thank god that it hasn't happened yet here, but that doesn't mean that it will never happen, one day they will do some improvements on the website, or add something new and there will be a problem.

It is not bad that they may end up with a problem, that is normal and we should see it as something understandable and acceptable. However how they react to that problem is the thing we should care about, because some places just ignore it, and some places take care of same day, that is what we should care about.

 The best one survives, and the worst one just bankrupts big time. Meanwhile the winner is always the gamblers because they get better and better stuff from casinos that are trying to be the biggest.
I agree the online gambling industry now because of the pandemic has become the largest income-generating online it's a multi-billion dollar industry, and each one wants to get the big slice, and we here on Bitcointalk obviously knows who got the big slice, those gambling sites that offer a lot of features bonuses, maintain their reputation and takes care of their players by offering them something new.
It is not even that easy, you have to keep giving more and more games to people, it doesn't have to be new game but different version of same game, think about slots for example where you could have one slot made in the website and that is fine but there are now places offering up to 1000 different slots, competing with that requires you to partner up with some third party provider. There are blacjacks now in many places there are basically all kinds of games and there are several I have never heard before as well.

It is really getting very very competitive. However you are right, there are billions of dollars made in this online crypto gambling world so each company is trying to take their own share of that, which requires you to spend a lot of money. If you are small time place with not so much funds then you have zero chance to succeed in here.

I am not sure if it is going to be staking or farming. They said that the earning will be BFG but they didn't say if it will be a LP that will earn us that BFG or will it be a staking.
It's going to be a single BFG staking pool. It seems Betfury is not that familiar with how AMMs and Yield farming platforms use the term Farming. They only based it on the definition from Binance academy which is locking up cryptocurrencies and getting rewards.


where is the dividends coming from otherwise, we need more and more gamblers.


The dividends are from BetFury itself. As an incentive for players "supporting" their tokens, they give a portion of their profits back in dividends so it's not all about price appreciation.

Just like companies issuing the same to their shareholders.
I think you are missing @tygeade's point here. He probably means where will dividends come from if there will be less gamblers but I think he's referring more to BFG miners. The introduction of staking (farming as Betfury calls it) kinda discourages mining. Apart from the six months locking period, the post-listing mined tokens will not be eligible for staking as stated in the rules posted by @CryptoNika.
Starting from the last; yes that is what I mean. If they are giving share of the profits, if there are no gamblers in the website that means there is nothing we could profit from and there will be no dividends. Which is why we should encourage more and more mining and gambling, that should be the number one thing about betfury.

Look at the last few pages and you will see only the farming part, if this place becomes a token place and not a casino place then we are talking about seriously less and less dividends earned and that is not something we could profit from as token holders, if we can't profit from it then we will sell it and when you sell the price goes down and the farmers will lose too, there is really no winners all around if there are no gamblers so that should be number one priority at all times. With farming we are not getting anything like that at all, hence staking should not happen.

45% is including compounding per annum that never actually will occur.  Its a figure for comparison sake, like you can compare that to the figure given on FBC itself.   The obvious question really is can I do this 14 period then straight away do another 14 day period, thats not yet answered.   I presume its done on a promotional basis to achieve a wider involvement, the important part is per person this is available right now but not likely forever.  
  On the longer terms stated it comes into line with what you can get if it were BTC and FBC and also I'd have to account for the lost premium benefits during that time.  Does Binance take the FUN and move it to FBC to collect free wheel spins.   I used to collect royalties via a casino 'listed' holding that wasnt simple to trade, % wise it was quite attractive but alot of doubt came with its returns vs risk performance.  In that case I gained on the pricing as it appreciated with confidence people had in returns, maybe Binance has that idea and they run their own token so have the idea its a feasible plan.
I doubt that binance would care enough about it to make free wheel spins on FBC, that just doesn't sound like something Binance would even care to do. Remember this is a multi-billion dollar company that can pay you for absolutely nothing just to get more customers and that is what they are known for. They are known for losing ton of money by giving out money on the new listings and then they end up with more customers in the long run.

I have seen 200k or so giveaways on nearly every single new listing as a trading competition for example and they lose money on that however they get all that new people from the new coin as well. Those coins are usually listed in some other place first, binance is rarely any coins first listing, and binance gets those people out of that exchange and into their own exchange by losing money but then making profit long term.
