Jeeesus Christ, a trip to Japan!! That is the biggest prize I have ever seen in crypto. I don't know if anything bigger ever happened. This prize is so big that I think it requires its own topic, this is going to be hidden from all other people who do not check this topic and I think you should start a new topic about the prize for sure.

Best I have seen was iphone or something, I have never seen a vacation to one of the most expensive places on earth, on an hotel. I think its just hotel booking that is covered right ? Flights are all our own but even with that its incredible that you guys are actually booking hotels for the winners, kyoto is expensive as hell and it is certainly going to cost you guys a lot of money to do something like this. I still can't believe it, this is by far the best prize I have seen and will do everything in my budget to try to get it.

So all of this depends on trust right ? I do not see an automatic thing going on and I think we just trust lupandina and give you our money and hope that you will send us money on the other website as well. Looking at the rates even tough it could be cheaper its still great considering withdrawing from one place and then depositing to other place may cost even more so its still a good deal but I think the business will grow more in the future when reputation is not the only thing we have in our hands to trust but past experience will also play a big role.

The more exchanges people do with you and the higher the amount you exchanged gets the more we will trust to do the same as well. Plus having more places would help as well since there aren't many places so far and more places would get more users and chances.
283  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this a new BIG BTC buy signal??? on: February 08, 2019, 04:17:42 PM
I don't trust the buy signals anymore. Anytime people say we are going up I feel like we might go down as much as we can go up as well.

Like there is no difference anymore between going up and down and anything could happen at any given second. Tomorrow I can wake up to bitcoin being 2 thousand dollars or 10 thousand dollars and neither would be impossible. We all would be surprised that it moved that much but none of us would say how it happened because its bitcoin and we are used to seeing stuff like this from bitcoin.

I think the most logical thing to do right now is to wait and see how the trend will move the price, depending on the trend if it starts to go up you can buy (if it goes up %5 you can start buying because usually if it goes up 5% then it goes up higher as well) and sell when it starts to go low.
284  Economy / Speculation / Re: How much Bitcoin to accumulate now to be financially set after the next boom? on: February 08, 2019, 03:42:15 PM
For all you people doing the smart thing now and accumulating Bitcoin on the bottom, two questions:


What's your goal number of bitcoins to accumulate now (or how much will you be satisfied accumulating)?

How much bitcoin do you think it would take for you to set yourself up for life financially assuming you sold late in the next bitcoin boom (at whatever price you think you would sell at and you think will be hit on the next boom)?
I have calculated that 200 bitcoins allows me to retire right now. Like not retire in a sense that I will be fine or anything but as a 28 year old person I can honestly say if I had 200 bitcoins today, I would be capable of living for another 50+ years straight without any financial burden ever (unless something horrible happens like a health emergency or something) and even the unexpected payments could be covered properly if you do not go out and just spend all of it in one place and just save and invest smartly.

I wouldn't go into risks and just invest into bonds and put it on the bank for saving interest and do as little risk as possible and I still wouldn't be capable of finishing that money. After the prices rises of course depending on how much it rises that 200 bitcoin gets lower. So right now price is 3.5 thousand dollars and I would need 200 bitcoins, so if price is 7 thousand dollars I would need 100 bitcoins, if its 14 thousand I would need 50, goes like that.
285  Economy / Gambling / Re: Blackjack.fun - PROVABLY FAIR Blackjack Accepts Dash/Bitcoin/Litecoin on: February 08, 2019, 12:53:11 PM
The difference between house edge of blackjack and house edge of games like dice is that dice has a clear shown edge because you see it while gambling, like x2 profit is never %50 odds and usually something like 49.5% to make it 1% house edge or something around that number.

Blackjack does have a house edge over the player for sure but usually it is not that much shown and its usually not that clear to all gamblers because its not right on their face. You can still calculate it if you are a good gambler and a good blackjack player but if you are neither of those two then it is just gambling for you and nothing else. Is it still fun ? Sure, so nobody really minds it.

As long as its entertaining and "fun" like the website name suggests the house edge could be anything in blackjack since it always gives a fair chance of winning.
286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Block Chain going to be the only option for the Gaming industry ? on: February 08, 2019, 08:36:30 AM
All the gamers round the world are these days ending up in playing games like Casino,Poker on the centralized platforms because of the manipulation happening around and so the craze of decentralised gaming is incresing day by day,it's been increasing rapidly
If decentralized casinos are the future then crypto may remain as only option to gamble with. Scams or hacking are happening as a common event everywhere hence only due to that reason, I am not seeing decentralized platforms to be more famous. I mean unless otherwise decentralized platforms are having their own attractive features and facilities to provide the maximum comfort and convinces, they cannot be the future way of gambling.

I foresee the co-existing of both types of casinos in coming years as none of them will be fulfilling all the expectations of a gambler and gamblers will choose either of them according to their need. Probably when more popularity and need of decentralized systems will be happening, we may see decline of centralized casinos.

Regardless of booming of decentralized casinos, I do see cryptos to be future of casinos. Yes, cryptos have already proved its worth for gambling hence cryptos will be the future of gambling and blockchain technology may follow cryptos slowly.
287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My Own Gambling Strategy on: February 08, 2019, 06:58:25 AM
1.) set aside a capital you can lose. Its upto you. If you lose it all of a sudden then youre such an unlucky man, you are helpless. Just Kidding. If its gone then go home. Try again if you have extra.

2.) lets say you win, set aside your capital if possible. If not, take 10% of every win in your pocket. With this you can go home with money even just coins. Not bad.

3.) in every loss, lower your bet so you can have more chances of winning again. If you bet all your money on one single bet and lose, then you know whats next. Go home lonely.
Your strategy is about emotional control and money management and not dealing with exact core things. I mean this strategy is not about how to maximizing the chances of making profits nor how to lengthen the gambling for given amount of money. I still agree this also a strategy and everyone here must need it.

Nothing is proven to be effective against the house. Unless you hack the platform or cheat the real time casinos.
You might have understood that strategies are here only to get you profits but you need to understand that strategies are also helping gamblers to find the maximum entertainment for a given bankroll. Hacking nor cheating are not coming under gambling activities. Never mention them even Sad.
288  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🔥🚀 NanoGames.io - Social Gambling | Play with Nano, Bitcoin and Ethereum 🔥🚀 on: February 08, 2019, 05:48:04 AM
There are three available coins to play on NanoGames.io, Nano, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
I don't know that the Nanogames team have plans to integrate Dogecoin into the list of acceptable coins there?
I saw many gambling sites accept Dogecoin, and Nanogames.io should accept it too.
Why particularly dogecoins ? Due to its lower value ? (I mean dogecoin is valuing less than 60 satoshi right now whereas nano is trading ~23k satoshi). I agree for given amount of money, with low value coins, you may gamble for more time (assuming your luck is not in your favor). But in that case, why not make use of nangame's free cash CUB. You may gamble as long as you prefer to.

If you want to gamble for profit making, I guess you can still try with nano (the cheapest among available). I guess nanogames might be working on providing us more coin options to attract wide range of gamblers.
289  Economy / Services / Re: Listing.Agency services for tokens on: February 05, 2019, 09:46:22 AM
We know how difficult it is to bring your token to the exchange. It is expensive and often long. Our main goal is to help clients get to the exchange in the shortest possible time at a reasonable price.
Listing.Agency has an agreement with many exchanges, which will allow you not to waste time searching for the right contacts, negotiating conditions and so on. All work has been done for you.
I do see all the exchanges are having options to contact them for listing a new coin/token with them. Hence you cannot claim, it is a difficult task but if you are here for quick and cheaper process then it must be another most required services for many people here.

If you got any bundled offers, please do mention them as I remember some devs were looking for more number of exchanges in short period of time for various reasons.

I believe you might need to add "coins" in your subject as your site is dealing for both coins and tokens for exchange listing.
290  Economy / Services / Re: Setup Masternodes Services Pay Specialist on: February 05, 2019, 05:11:38 AM
So, it is a services all about resolving problems while setting up masternodes ? Also, you are providing VPS hosting services ? But I am unable to find fees structures for your VPS services. Please provide URL for for your VPS details if I am missing out in my quick checking with your site.

It is good idea to provide support for setting up masternodes for non-technical people but a business must focus on recurring customers. This is where your business concept is lacking in my view. I mean people may opt for your services at one time and then may take care on their own as google may solve their most of doubts. (I am sorry I am not discouraging but stating out the real fact. You people must work on more innovative things for making this services to be more versatile for attracting repeated customers).

292  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will scarcity ever come into play? on: January 27, 2019, 06:48:33 PM
I think you're misunderstanding the term scarce here. Bitcoin is scarce, which is why there is a price to trade it on exchanges. If it could be obtained infinitely then it wouldn't have a value at all

Scarcity alone won't suffice

If something is scarce, it doesn't mean that it will have a price tag attached. It should also be useful for something. Really, why would you care about something which is of no help to you?

because other people value it

But why do other people value it?

Because it can help them reach their goals. In this respect, even speculative value is technically value which consists in allowing people to earn money (say, the American dollar) via speculation. The problem with it is that it is even less intrinsic than any other value that Bitcoin might have (e.g. transactional utility) as with prices stagnating (which we see now), it won't be very useful for this goal, and thus will start losing its speculative value. Whether it will acquire real value in the process (due to "stable" prices) depends
Speculative value doesn't mean high prices, it means whatever the value is it is speculative since it doesn't have an instinct value. If you buy a bread it has a value because it cost money to make it, if you buy an iphone it has a value just like bitcoin because it costs maybe 20 dollars for apple and its not 25 dollars to sell, hence people value it high enough to give it a high price.

There are some stuff in the world that people think that has a value because of the capital required to make it but most stuff do not have that type of value, most has value because of the "hype" around it. Look at Tesla cars, they definitely cost a lot to make but considering they do many things to drop the price and still sell really really high priced cars we can say that the line you need to wait to get a car and pay now but get the car 3 months later type of deals are the reason why Tesla cars worth this much.

Bitcoin is the same it has a speculative value because we all give importance to it, sometimes we don't care about it and the price drops and that is still speculative value, otherwise if it was because price of the resources dropped and less capital required to create a bitcoin that would be instinct value but since its not like that the rises and falls all come under the speculative value term.
293  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ALL Initial Coin Offerings are Trash on: January 26, 2019, 03:41:09 PM
That is exactly the point, when there is 20%+ that was not scam you can not say all of it was scam, yeah most of them were but that is the word for it "most" not "all". If you look at the coins and ICO's that came out of funding in that manner you can see that there are 3 type of ICO's that exists in today's world.

First one is the known by everyone scams, they just get your money and they get away with it, sometimes right away, sometimes they stay along for a while and act like they are not stealing directly but selling their tokens right away and whatever, basically scam you in any way or shape. The second one is the failures, there are coins that came out thinking they were great but than people didn't care about them so they went to nothing, not because they scammed people but because they failed to deliver what they promised. Last of them which is the reason why everyone invests into ICO's is the successful ones.

I have not seen a coin that stayed around the ICO price for too long, if a coin drops it drops but if a coin succeeds like the third option, it usually skyrockets into top 20 of all coins and they make you 100 times the money you invest and everyone dreams of hitting that one big coin.
294  Economy / Economics / Re: Is government the most influential factor that affects Bitcoin price? on: January 25, 2019, 02:28:12 PM
Sorry for the naïve question, but I'm just really curious. What would happen to Bitcoin price if, for example, Trump declared all cryptocurrencies forbidden?

Can Bitcoin survive because of decentralization or some other underlying tech concepts, or will it simply drop down into oblivion if the government decides to fight it for real?
Probably, I guess it is the government branches not directly governments. For example, we have been talking about SEC for a long time (unfortunate about what happened) and SEC is not "the government" but more like a government branch. It means all over the world there are government branches that are connected to bitcoin and crypto currencies and make laws about it or regulates it and so forth.

Usually, stuff about bitcoin and crypto do not pass through the house or senate and what not, its not that big and neither its their problem, so they appoint a branch to take care of it instead. That way we know which branch is responsible in all countries (like sec in USA ) and know where to focus our voice.

They do have the make or break power because even tough bitcoin is decentralized banks you withdraw your money to is not and if you are dealing with just bitcoin that is great but if you want to cash out then it needs to be regulated and when a branch says "its free of tax, we love it, everyone should use it" or whatever it would make the price jump up and when they say "its illegal, nobody can own a single satoshi or will go to jail" or something it will make the price go down.

298  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to give API access for limited withdrawal? on: January 19, 2019, 04:01:19 PM
As far as I know when you give your api access to something you give full on control of what you allow. So, if you give withdrawal access that means you are giving full control over your withdrawals and you should not do that in any case at all, not even for a software you yourself write you should give that access to any api you own.

As soon as your api or generally that exchanges apis get jeopardized you are giving all of your money to someone else. Don't do it in any circumstances. Just focus on trading parts and use those because worst case scenario people can use it to buy a shitty coin and make it pump and make money from it and you will lose a lot of money but not all of it and not go back to zero. It is a risky move that doesn't pay as much as you think it will.
299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The danger is the addiction, not the odds on: January 15, 2019, 09:43:49 PM
Addiction will not happen on your first day as a gambler, it happens when you keep on coming back even if you are losing and it incease more when you gamble day by day. We can get out of that if we want to, but if you choose to keep playing, then leaving the casinos is not your priority anymore.
Addiction is not a problem for the first day gambler and also for the gamblers who are all safeguarding themselves from addictions. It means you will be having some control over the dangers of addiction whereas there will be never able to control the odds and it will remain always against us and we cannot do anything about that except accepting it and keep playing along with it.

But, think about the situation of an addicted gambler. He must be facing the dangers of both. That must be really an unfortunate situation, we gamblers will definitely hate.
300  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How gambling sites can cheat you on: January 15, 2019, 09:01:07 PM
How? Lol basically they have control over whatever's in their site. You balances, your account information, the games that you play, name it they have access to do anything they want as long as you're in their platform.
This is the reason why we should avoid random gambling sites and must stick within highly reputed and long-running gambling houses.

When we are signing up with a gambling site, we are all being in forced to accept all of their terms. It means we cannot do anything about all the possible ways they are having to cheat if anything like that is actually happening. It is like the ball is basically in their court and we are just playing with that by believing the control is fairly distributed. It may be or may not be.

The final thing should be, we must choose the known dangerous one. It means all are dangerous but we may escape for time being with few houses. We must choose them and play with them only. In other words we do call them as "highly reputed houses" Wink.
