x237 is always good! But in the way you did it, I guess it was fun too, a few hours of gambling or it was faster? Congratz on the nice profit, I wasn't so lucky... I played Egyptian, and I busted my balance with pushing like crazy... and in the end, I didn't hit any big win nor bonus round! When I play that Egyptian with really low bets I am getting bonus rounds, when playing with higher stakes I rarely hit anything, what a stroke of bad luck! I hope it will be better... if anything I got 0.3 DOT today from a wheel! At least something nice!



Why do I always forget to add the time duration. Well I played for around 15 minutes.
I wish I could have turned $10 into x237 and it could have been a nice $2370  Grin but anyway I don't complaint for what I got.

0.3 DOT is still a decent amount I would say. May be try to convert it x3 in luck based games ?
That would become equivalent to what I won.  Grin

Made some really nice gains today. I had 1 TRX in my wallet which I got from the daily free spin a few days ago.
Started playing Limbo with 2x multiplier and place full amount to bet. Won and made 2x gains.
I repeated this and made some nice gains while using lowest bet in between to reduce the risk of losing.
Similarly I played the Crash game and Wheel game. Over all I was able to accumulate 237 TRX.
I basically converted 1 TRX to 237 TRX which was really fun.


2783  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - Is HODL the only strategy? on: December 06, 2021, 04:18:15 PM
I own different crypto and mostly I stake with them because I am interested in the long return. With bitcoin I am actually doing nothing. Can you suggest any strategies to make even a little APR? I know that I can't stake with bitcoin.

To be really honest, there's pretty much nothing you can do with your bitcoins to grow it over time.
There are some workarounds but that will involve moving the bitcoins from a noncustodial wallet to a custodial wallet.
Not your keys, not your coins is a popular saying in the bitcoin community to make you aware of the risks involved in not holding your coins.
So there is no safe way to increase the number of coins while you are holding. If you do consider to take the risks then yes there are some ways.
Lending, trading, staking through 3rd parties etc... are some ways but I won't recommend it.

Holding is the best way to make through.
2784  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Am I Doing My Students a Disservice? on: December 06, 2021, 04:06:47 PM
To give a little information without completely doxing myself, I am a 6th-grade middle school mathematics teacher. This is my second year in the classroom, and since my very first day, I have had bitcoin strewn all around my room. Hand-drawn logos, ATH date trackers, common boards with paper bitcoins on them. My students are very aware of my admiration for bitcoin.

On the surface, this seems great but I have ran into an issue.

There are a couple of times per year that we are able to have true free days. On these free days, instead of doing more math, we create our own ERC-20 token as a class. They get to see how the smart contracts are written and how they are deployed on the blockchain. I have 6 classes so we end up with 6 new tokens. The students have an absolute blast with this.

My concern is that I am preaching the blessings of bitcoin, yet I'm showing them the "wonders" of inferior protocols. How can I create a classroom project that interacts with the bitcoin ecosystem? Creating an ERC-20 token is simple enough and it's inclusive because all the students need to do is input their opinions as I create the token on the projector. I attempted doing a Lightning Network project where we would pass around small amounts of sats in the classroom using Wallet of Satoshi. I then ran into the issue of not every student having a phone, so this did not work.

So I beg the question; How can I create a class project centered around bitcoins ecosystem that can be inclusive to all students regardless of the technology they may or may not possess?


Firstly, a very thank you sir because you are doing a great thing by encouraging your students to learn more about bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole.
I would have been very luck if I had got a teacher like you. To answer your question, I think there is one way you can do a short project related to the bitcoin ecosystem.
Taking your own idea into consideration lets assume not all the students will have a phone but you don't even need all the students to have a phone.

You just need 2 phones. Setup a lightning channel between the 2 devices and then call 2 students at a time and let them make a transaction from one to another.
Similarly you can call all the students 2 at a time and make do transactions with each other on the same lightning network.
This will save you on the fees and will limit the resources for the project.

The game of dice has often been seen as the game of luck which makes many players depend on luck rather than developing skills that can aid their constant winning so am curious to know what are your collection of best dice techniques that have helped you in winning the game of dice.

I don't know about others but for me personally there have been 1 strategy that I have used quite a few times to gain some profits.
It's very well known that the dice game is based on pure luck and so this strategy can sometimes gives out negative returns as well.
The strategy is that we should start with a low multiplier such as 1.3x instead of the default 2x multiplier.
Keep rolling until you make profits and after 3-4 rolls switch the multiplier from 1.3x to 2x.
It's just a way to increase the probability of winning while losing low amounts. I am not sure if it sounds good but it has worked quite a few times for me.
2786  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Never sell for a loss - is a Myth !! on: December 06, 2021, 02:56:54 PM
I would assume that if you buy at 10 dollars, and it goes to 9 dollars, then you buy some more and now your average is 9.5, so you could make a profit with very little up, if it goes to 8 then you buy same amount and now you have 8.75 average, if it goes to 7 then you buy again and you have 7.87 average, and if it goes to 6 then you buy more and have 6.93 and by the time it is 5, you buy the equal amount and you get yourself to 5.96 levels.

It means, now you own a lot more, and as soon as it hits 6 you are in profit, and even more profit than you would have otherwise because you invested more as well. If it ever goes to 12, you are now in 2x profit, instead of your 10 going to 12 with just 20% profit. Isn't that better? Never sell for a loss is not a myth, and DCA is the greatest way to use that to your advantage and make money as well. I have done it for years, it has been working great for me.

It was the same strategy I applied in one of my trades. I kept on doing DCA to a point where I was mostly out of money.
I didn't have much to invest more and do DCA and the biggest mistake was it was a futures trade.
Then the sudden market crash occurred and my trade got liquidated. I know I shouldn't have done DCA in a futures trade.
But I guess I learnt my lesson.
2787  Local / India / Re: indian users will be required to keep their coins in exchange. on: December 06, 2021, 02:50:28 PM
they won't find out as long as you transfer bitcoin from one wallet to another.

but as soon as you do p2p trade and a bank account gets involved, it leaves the door open.

if the trader you're dealing with gets caught, they will trace all the transactions sent/received from their account.

so, like i said, if this rule becomes law, holding/buying/selling bitcoin will only be done through sebi recognized exchanges.

u can keep trading p2p but u risk getting caught sooner or later.

P2P trading doesn't only involve bank accounts but there is also hard cash involved. A P2P trader can opt for a bitcoin for cash deal and nobody will ever find out about it.
Also, P2P trading is not well established yet. If it becomes full fledged then I think there will be people who will operate a network of P2P traders.
So if there are so many people actively doing P2P trading then it will become difficult for banks to find out who is behind bitcoin transactions.
2788  Local / India / Re: indian users will be required to keep their coins in exchange. on: December 05, 2021, 03:06:15 PM
Just chill guys. I would say we should all take this very lightly because government decisions take long time to be finalized.
There will come many rumors like the one mentioned in OP and will create a buzz in the community.
If anything then we should just patiently wait for the "official" announcement from the government and wait for their instructions to be followed.
I personally don't think that the government will ban cryptocurrencies or hard wallets because it just doesn't make any sense in doing so.
The government is better off at regulating cryptocurrencies and allowing it to be used as tradable asset and get tax from the capital gains on trading.
2789  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is cryptocurrency making new millionaires every day? on: December 05, 2021, 02:51:29 PM
I am not sure about the millionaire status. But you can make a good amount of money depending on how intelligently and how dedicatedly you trade or invest in crypto. I have heard that people have gained a lot with the rise of Bitcoin because they invested in it at the right time. So, you need great timing, learning, and strategy to gain profits in cryptocurrency. Maybe one day, the millionaire status will come true for every crypto investor.

I wouldn't say everyday but every year. It's not rocket science though.  The number of millionaires are increasing every year because the amount of money in global economy is increasing every year.
Talking particularly about crypto millionaires I think crypto millionaires are increasing every year too because the number of people investing in crypto are increasing every year.
The crypto marketcap is also increasing every year which means more money is flowing into crypto every year making new crypto millionaires every year.
2790  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons why I prefer Bitcoin over any other assets and dips don't panic me.... on: December 05, 2021, 02:43:40 PM
For the most of us bitcoin was the reason we came to know about cryptocurrencies and became the part of the crypto community.
After all these years and thousands of cryptocurrencies launching every year we can conclude that so far bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency.
Surviving all the dumps and bouncing back stronger has become a thing for bitcoin and has helped all of us secure great profits holding bitcoin.
But as they say we should not put all our eggs in one basket. While bitcoin is the best coin we should also explore other projects and hold some potential altcoins.
Diversification is a good strategy and we cannot really be sure if bitcoin can keep growing like this forever.
At some point it has to fall back and some other coin might give out better returns.

Where I place my bets: stake.com/?c=FootbaII


Wow that's some hefty profits in there. Congratulations on the win. But the screenshot shows that you wagered $4.2 million to win $550k.
Now that's some insane amount of money for gambling. I wonder what was the capital you started gambling with to wager this much.

The reason why people don't post about winnings is because it attracts unwanted attention and messages from scammers.

What's there to panic and spread FUD about ? It's only the FUN/BTC pair that is getting delisted and they have their reasoning for it.
Binance still has the FUN/USDT pair which is still used by many traders.

The launch of XFUN is really a good thing to know. I hope it will benefit the FUN token holders on freebitco.in.
I would even go as far as say USDT pair is more important than BTC pair. Sure btc is great and all and it is by far the biggest crypto in the world, but the volume was at USDT. Look at the futures market, everyone deals with USDT there too, does that make BTC a bad coin? Of course not and it is totally understandable.

So, this is why FUN/USDT is the most important pair and that one staying would be a lot more important than BTC one, it would have been bad if they delisted the stablecoin version. Launch of XFUN will definitely have some benefit, I am not saying that it will suddenly make it an insanely good project overnight, but it will definitely help it a small bit.

Well, I am not trading with FUN, but I follow the price on the site, it's been 32 satoshis for some time, pretty stable in my opinion. I am buying at this level with my winning, I guess it will go up one day...

I got an interesting mail today from DPlay casino, they added some multiplayer games, Football manager and Save the hamster... anyone tried them?!

The current price is at 31 satoshis for a FUN token which is pretty cheap compared to previous months.
I am regularly buying FUN tokens. I spin the wheel and collect sats from free rolls and use that to buy FUN tokens every now and then to DCA the price.
Although it's not much because I am buying just a few tokens every week but it's still better than nothing.
2793  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: December 05, 2021, 01:09:16 PM
To be honest, by the time the fight happens, Mike Tyson will be around 55 years old. Although he was an absolute beast in his prime, he's still just a shadow of what he was. Even at the end of his professional career, when he was in his late 30s, he was getting beaten by men he would have KO'd in 1 round. I think Logan Paul has a slight chance if his defense is on point. Let Mike Tyson get tired and try to KO him, and then turn the tables in the later rounds to win on points or potentially KO Tyson in the later rounds. That said, that would require some serious defense from Paul, I doubt he would be able to take Tyson's attacks for several rounds until he gasses.

Overall, I'd say LOgan Paul has around a 25% chance of success if this is his gameplan. He certainly wont win a firefight with Iron Mike that's for sure, idgaf how old or slow he is now.

That's the only strategy that could save Logan's ass from getting kicked by Mike. Mike is getting old but still has the stamina to go several rounds against Logan.
Even if we assume Logan has a good defense to stand the first few rounds against Mike he will need some good attacking skills to knockdown Mike.
Mike's defense is already good and so it will need some extra efforts from Logan else he would be in the loser's shoes.
Well Tyson is indeed has that power , over the years he still prove that His power punches is still effective .
but the problem here is the stamina , if Logan stands for longer Round then the opportunity of taking the fight is possible.
because Mike might lose his power in the next 4th or up round .
because we cannot deny His age will Hinder Him to stay longer in the fight so he must bring Logan down in the early stage because this young fighter is really thirsty in beating a world champion like Mike Tyson .

That is very true. Age is the curcial factor here and may be that is why they are doing the exhibition fight.
This will prove whether age decreases the stamina and power of Mike or the young blood still loses with the ageing Mike.
2794  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Never sell for a loss - is a Myth !! on: December 04, 2021, 01:11:34 PM
I have heard many people say that never sell for a loss but what does it actually mean ?

Assuming you have bought a coin at $10 and the price goes down to $9 but you don't sell.
You could have placed a stop loss at $9 but you take "Never sell at a loss" so seriously that you decide to not put a stop loss.
The price goes down to $8 but you are too good at HODL. Suddenly the market crashes and the price goes down to $5.

You see, you have created your perfect scenario for your action to make you a profit.
What would have happened if you would have bought at $10, the coin dropped, you sold at 9, then it skyrockets to 20?
The guy who didn't sell has a profit of 100% you have a loss.

Your scenario works perfectly if you anticipate a larger drop, this indeed happens and you manage to sell near the top, if it's just a small dip just enough to trigger your stop loss then you lose money. In middle September the price was 44k, it dropped to 40k, enough for your 10% sell, then it went all up and up till $66k.




Thats the catch here. If such a scenario occurs we do make a minor loss and lose the gaining opportunity.
But if we keep repeating this then we could at least gain profits in few of the trades.
Lets say if we keep a stop loss of 5% then we could execute 10 trades out of which at least 2-3 trades would lead in profits.
So eventually we will be in profits compared to one shot loss of 50%.

What do you think ? Am I getting something wrong ?

Always open to learn new stuff.
2795  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My newbie trading experience on: December 04, 2021, 12:34:34 PM
It's quite impressive you made a profit in trading, what coins are you trading, if i may know and how much time do you need to cover your initial loss so that you get back and make a profit of $450.

From your story, I judged that you started trading crypto with a capital of $200 and the coin went down, you lost, after that you got up again and made $450, so do you still trade on the same coin when you lose or you move to another coin, from the rest of your capital, so you make a profit.

The main thing to note here is that OP started trading in January 2021. This year was a rollercoster ride for the crypto market.
The market was pumping in the initial few months followed by the major correction.
This is when OP made profits and it's not a big deal to make profits in a pumping market.
Just holding any potential coin would make good profits. I would say OP needs to learn from various dips in the market and gain experience by practicing to trade regularly.
Only that will help a newbie in the long run.

The price goes down to $8 but you are too good at HODL. Suddenly the market crashes and the price goes down to $5.
You could have limited your losses at $9 but now your portfolio is down by 50%.
Now the price has to go 100% so that you breakeven with no loss no profit whereas you could have bought back at $5 and gained potential profits using a stop loss.

This is why I think "Never sell for a loss" is a myth and we should always use a stop loss and play safe with a good risk to reward strategy.

I have won 480k sats, , from free rolls, but it's only 4 times more than you have while you've made like  8 times less rolls, so you are lucky. Smiley

Well yeah  Grin It makes sense in that way. I guess I am lucky with the free rolls but not with multiply BTC game.

Quote
As of Jackpots, I won them 2 times, 100k and 10k sats, and here's my stats for them:



Also I think you must be missing something regarding Jackpots.



The minimum prize for rolling 8888 has always been 10k sats.

I though jackpot winning is the bigger prizes we win from free rolls but just now got to know it is the 8888 number form multiply BTC game.
Well yeah I never played for the jackpot since it was costly.

~Would also love to hear anything about Thequin what the thinks of the delisting as it is probably also a surprise for him . I would keep holding my tokens for the premium benefits but it's a step back in the development of the token.

It was a surprise to us as well. The reason they gave us is that because they only support 8 decimal places the increased BTC price has made the spread too large on that pair. Our priority will be to get listed on multiple exchanges asap to reduce dependence on Binance moving forward.

The latest update on XFUN is that the XFUN token was launched and the wallet and bridge from FUN to XFUN is also ready. We are trying to talk to Binance to support deposits and withdrawals using XFUN in addition to FUN. We will support it in Freebitco.in, hopefully no later than the end of Q1 2022.

In other news, we have another new Casino launching in January 2022 which will be licensed in the Isle of Man.


@TheQuin while losing Binance definitely hurts, but it would be nice if youll write a email to users explaining your side of the story otherwise each one will assume and spread unnecessary panic. Further these updates look promising for 2022, and Im sure that in 2022 FUN is bound for great things so simply hodl them people.

What's there to panic and spread FUD about ? It's only the FUN/BTC pair that is getting delisted and they have their reasoning for it.

Banks won't disappear anytime soon because people don't like change very much and it takes time to force any kind of lasting change in society.

Some people say that traditional banks will disappear due to the emergence of cryptocurrencies because it gives consumers another option when they need financial assistance; however, I think this is unfounded speculation.

Traditional banks won't disappear so easily. At least not any time soon. It takes decades to convert from one payment method to another.
For example from barter system to gold coins and from gold coins to fiat currencies. It tooks decades to go from one to another.
Even the credit card system took years to become well established. Cryptocurrencies have just started to go mainstream.
We cannot really say if it will disrupt the fiat currencies so that traditional banks disappear.
