Calling me a scam after all the responses I've given and the very fact that I came here in the first place to openly discuss all these issues and concerns is extremely unfair and out of order. Slander without evidence is suable in a court of law. Please provide evidence.

Being a new casino with very familiar website template from other known casinos (which ended up bad), can really give bad impression.
However, you can always prove your site is legit only by time. So long you are paying everyone and no complaints, you can build your credibility.
And once you can afford, maybe get the gambling license and also improve the site so it will not be compared to others.
Take those as a challenge to improve your site. In time, you will gain trust if you are sincerely motivated to move forward in this business.
2822  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to spot an investment scam on: October 16, 2021, 07:49:44 PM
I'll go with a simple answer, if it's too good to be true then it's an investment scam. All the exposed investment scams have one thing in common which is the mouth watering offers they use to decieve their victims. Simply overcome greed and you have avoided 90% of the investment scams out there then improve on your knowledge about the industry. Don't stay ignorant as that doesn't help matters, always keep yourself update as some investment scams comes with moderate promises as well. The only advisable way to invest your money is to do it yourself don't trust anyone or platform to do that for you.
I've seen a lot of these scams specially in Telegram when I was just starting in crypto things. Left and right, there has been lots of promises that has been done just to deceived the innocent victims. We should be aware on how they works so we will not become a victim of their scam again.
Contrary, recently, there have been really good investments that I thought are too good to be true, but are actually worth investing in. Like these blockchain games where you can earn by just playing.

The widespread use of social media  gives opportunities for criminals to to do their dirty work because they can hide their true identity. From my experience, I got a lot of offers in telegram to invest in their company and promises higher returns. Some will ask my wallet ID and  they will do the trading and will return my money after 24 hours plus profits. They keep on calling and it is so annoying.  The people who makes promises are scammers so careful on that. Just do your own research and think a million times before investing.

You can always block those persons or report as spammer if you want them to stop bothering you.
Don't be tempted with high returns because more than likely, it is just a bait.
This is the reason why a lot of newcomers are being screwed because they are after for quick gains.
But they ended up losing funds because they are investing either on scam or ponzi scheme project.
Also, make sure to do a quick search because if the project is a scam, there will always feedback (negative) that you can read about them.

Placing your bet using your instinct might work instead of having a hard time analyzing the game.


In preseason games, you don't have to analyze it hard, just play the game like a coin flip as they are just playing for fun so have fun as well. As for me, I would just follow my instinct as bad teams can be good in the preseason, and teams that are losing might also bounce back and win.

TrailBlazers are +6.5 and 3.01 moneyline, I'm taking both.

Checking the discussion here regarding preseason predictions.
Betting in some teams, and let's see how they will perform in the actual season.
Just using small funds to place bet just for the excitement of watching their games.

Still curious when Betnomi token will be on the exchanges, a while ago token was removed on Coingecko. Does it mean you are going to swap it to BSC chain again? Any future plans to list on well known crypto exchanges?

From the posts above, I think, betnomi should resolve first their issues with some players and closed it in fair manner.
In that way, this re-launch will be clear from all past issues. Because this will haunt them if they will not resolve properly.
Looking forward for their re-branding and let us see if they can start fresh in this gambling niche.
Also, seems that their token is put on hold as well as the last transaction from their contract was 131 days ago.
2825  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can BTC hit 70k$ this Christmas? on: October 15, 2021, 11:01:48 PM
We can not say it with 100% accuracy. But what can I say that the upcoming christmas is so far from now. that means we have still enough time to it happen. Now btc is trading around $59k-$60k so Just need a little pump to reach it. First of all Btc should focus on the next ATH and if it can make new Ath in near future I think 70-80k is very possible to reach even more.
The current price of $61k just needs a little more to reach its true ATH point so we can get a Christmas wish of $70k with a pump like this I'm sure bitcoin can make up for it.
I think this year we can hit ATH twice and this in the near future whereas on Christmas most people are sure hope that bitcoin can be pumped again to the point of resistance.
After going through all this it will be easy that bitcoin can be trusted to surpass $100k in the next year.
If these movements would sustain then its likely we would be seeing that 70k in December but im not really that too positive because breaking previous ATH's is something hard or cant be attained easily

but honestly we aren't really that too far off with that price but the timeframe would always be unknown as always but presuming on the sentiments circling around which turns out to be positive

but we cant still assure if we would really be heading there or some nasty corrections instead because market is always been like this on where things do happen unexpectedly.

With how things are progressing, it seems that $70k is very possible now before this holiday.
I believe, one major boost is the approval of SEC with Bitcoin ETF.
As they will launch it next week, we will see the pulse of the market if it can sustain this increase.
When the OP created this thread, btc was in the 50k level, and only after about 10days, the increase is more than 10k.
So another 10k increase from the current price will very well achieve the target of $70k, which is feasible to happen.
2826  Economy / Economics / Re: Two basic things that can give you an advantage on: October 15, 2021, 10:26:37 PM
Remaining calm is always the best thing you can do. The past has told us that most people who haven't sold their coins have made decent profits by just holding onto them.

I'd definitely by bitcoin at a drop, not sure about the top 10 though as they might suffer harder than btc and a few of them (usdc and doge) might be bad for long term holding.
Yes that is true. Because panic selling is mostly the reason of losing better opportunity. But there comes a time that dump took a long time so its difficult to remain calm so I think we also need to have patience. By realizing what happened in the past that holding is better, holding will not be possible if we do not have patience.
I also agree to buy bitcoins as well as eth rather other coins in top 10 because we can't tell some coins in top 10, do not remains in top 10 so its price may be difficult to recover.

And now, if people will look at the price of bitcoin, guess, a lot are regretting that they haven't bought when it declined to 30k.
They are getting more than doubled its profit with the current price. I believe this rise is also owed to the approval of bitcoin ETF by SEC.

https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2021/10/15/sec-approves-bitcoin-etf-opening-crypto-to-wider-investor-base/

After many years of discussion about this, finally SEC approved the first ever bitcoin ETF.

I tried to claim the airdrop for the first snapshot but failed, maybe because I wasn't included in the first snapshot list, then tried to claim for the second snapshot, but it didn't work, is the airdrop claim only for the first snapshot? When can the second snapshot airdrop be claimed?

Based from their announcement, you can only claim for the first snapshot, so yes, it will really fail if you try for the second snapshot.
I believe, they will also post the dates for the claiming date for every snapshot. It is not claimed all at once.
But what I am checking now here is the value of GFN in exchange like stakecube, it seems they are not attracting traders here.
And upon checking in pancakeswap, entering the contract address of their token, it says no results found.
So is this being traded already in pancakeswap?
2828  Economy / Economics / Re: Just because prices are high, doesn't mean that is a good investment. on: October 14, 2021, 11:03:19 PM
I have seen this kind of argument that just because the price of a commodity is high means that it is a great investment.
Personally, I don’t think that having a high price is what makes an asset to be worth investing in. Before you start investing in any asset you have to face the fall understand what it is all about and no everything about it before you can consider it. The price doesn’t really matter that much because the developers can decide to just start from any price for the asset.

An asset can be worth less than $1 maybe due to the supply, and still be much better than an asset that has a price of over $100and even $1000. Take the cryptocurrency market as an example, you will see some coins that has a high price but a lesser market cap than those with a lesser price.
True, however many times that is the only thing many traders are interested in, they see that a coin is going up in value and then they want to invest in it, they do not care what is the vision of the developers or the fundamentals of the coin, they are interested in the fact the coin has gone up in value and they want some of those profits for themselves.

And while I understand their posture as the whole point of a trader is to make money, at the same time that kind of attitude can be very risky as the majority of the times they do not know in what kind of coin they are investing and this can create some problems for them as they invest in coins that are obvious scams for the community and then they lose their money in that way.

This is usually why a lot of traders are getting screwed, if they will only look at the price movement and not the actual development per se.
Because if they are caught in the middle, they can really lose money as they won't know if the price will ever go up again.
So yes, it is important to follow also the updates and progress of the coin you are investing with, because it will give you insights if they have future or not.
Be careful touching pump and dump coins, because you can lose money here and not recover even your initial funds.
2829  Other / Off-topic / Re: Deontay Wilder sustain severe injuries on: October 14, 2021, 10:23:30 PM
Well it should be both, the physical and mental condition of an athlete or boxer.
Boxing is a dangerous sport and it is risky for both mental and physical health. Who knows here the boxer Michael Watson, British boxers who suffer a lifetime of disabled and possible in a long term, they had brain damage that turns to a serious mental illness, it is very risky.
Banning is the right decision to cure injuries and perhaps many boxers know these circumstances.

It is good precautionary measure so the boxer will really focus on healing himself not only physically but mentally.
We have seen the aftermath of boxing to popular names in boxing like Muhammad Ali.
So will the boxer be willing to sacrifice his health over possible earnings if it will be a lifetime damage to his body and mind?
For me, it is better to retire if you know you can still save yourself from lifetime injury. Because there's still life after boxing.
2830  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tron network VS Binance Smart Chain on: October 13, 2021, 11:58:25 PM
Currently the Binance Smart Chain platform is much more popular than the TRX platform. We have all now moved to the Binance Smart Chain platform.The TRX platform is very popular yet people now prefer the Binance smart chain platform.

I think it is because BSC is backed by top exchange Binance.
But based from my experience, Tron network has actually cheaper transaction fees.
Just compare the USDT-TRC20 and USDT-BSC, the TRC20 network has cheaper fees.
Anyway, it depends on the need of the user. Some platforms will support TRC20 tokens, whereas, others won't.
And now, with the popularity of BSC, a lot are already adding this chain to their options.
2831  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How can Cardano achieve $ 5 ? on: October 13, 2021, 10:29:13 PM

I'm sure if one day the price of ADA can reach $5, but for ADA to replace Ethereum, it will never happen, because there are already many blockchain projects that have very low gas fees than Ethereum, but until now the project still cannot replace Ethereum, therefore I believe that Ethereum will never be replaced and will remain in position 2 on coinmarketcap.

Aiming to replace ethereum is actually a very big challenge for any network out there.
Instead of targeting to replace it, better aim for more projects to be deployed under ADA.
Because the more projects that are successful, the better chance for this network to achieve $5.
Without continuous progress on the network, it would be hard for them to attract developers as well as users.
But if they see large number of projects that are successful using their network, good things will follow thru.
2832  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] The Rematch - JOSHUA vs USYK II (updated thread) on: October 13, 2021, 08:56:41 PM
Joshua has been known for come back after a devastating defeat and that makes this JOSHUA vs USYK II exciting as when he fought against Ruiz for the second time. Their strategy works to beat Ruiz and if they can execute the same working strategy then he can easily regain back and might have the chance to fight Fury in his next match.

I think you can not really compare the fights and also the rematches of Joshua vs Ruiz and now Usyk. Back then it was a huge surprise that ruiz managed to win against Joshua and even managed to knock him down 3 times. Then in the second fight Joshua dominated Ruiz and won his title back in a relatively convincing way. If you look at Joshuas fight vs Usyk then the experts and also the fans were by far not so convinced that Joshua was the big favorite again here. This was mainly because Joshua lost his nimbus of being undefeated against Ruiz and of course also because Usyk is a much better boxer in comparison to Ruiz.
So i don't see Joshua as the big favorite against Usyk in their rematch.

The results of the poll now reverses. People are now rooting for Usyk this time.  Grin
This is no surprise as we have witnessed their first match.
Definitely, the odds will favor on Usyk on this re-match. But curious what will be the gap of odds.
Can Joshua redeem himself? In my opinion, Usyk will still emerge as winner here.
2833  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what are some of the new projects we should keep eyes on it? on: October 12, 2021, 11:34:26 PM
Now NFT are actively used in games, they are available for all the players. They make games more attractive and fun allowing people to earn money by playing.
NFT was built intentionally for Games and content so that game and content lovers will always be happy when they use NFT while playing and when they have created the content, so it is more for its general use and nothing else.

Not only games, i seen many NFT are for collection hobby, like people in the real life collecting stamp collection based on its rarity. But in the end, that collectting hobby would turn into profit if its sold on higher price.
But games is more practical to use and have earn mechanism, it's also more hyped since many influencer post their earning that motivate another to earn with NFT too.

NFT collectibles from your favorite personalities, artists or athletes.
So this is actually a new way for those artists to connect with their fans.
NFT hype is not finding its use case in gaming platform only but also with these collectibles.
However, a buyer should know how to find an authentic item and don't expect that he can sell it immediately when he needs the cash.
2834  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Venezuela Airport accepting Bitcoin on: October 12, 2021, 10:58:37 PM
This is just the easiest way for a transparent transaction and would also serve as a transparent ledger with detailed distributed peer-to-peer temper-proof network which would limit the stress of having bookers presenting manipulated ledgers because I so sure with the well structured data base and secured ledger used at the airport manipulation is still common and Bitcoin could help stop this

This is one advantage if they will deal with bitcoin or any crypto, because it will answer the transparency problem.
This is a long running problem where a lot of governments or government agencies are culprit of being corrupt.
I have the feeling that other international airports will follow such move, which is actually good for bitcoin adoption.
The experience of Venezuela with this implementation can easily be disclosed to others, so we will know if they are getting more positive benefits with this initiative if others will follow thru.
2835  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another attempt at Bitcoin ETF..You knew it was coming once BTC raised above ATH on: October 11, 2021, 09:49:25 PM
i don't think it has anything to do with the current price action because they (among others) have been trying to get SEC to approve their ETF for a very long time. it seems like they try at least once a year if not more. they did it even when price was falling in 2018 and 2019 and haven't given up yet.
it is interesting that US keeps rejecting ETFs while the rest of the world is already celebrating the anniversary of their ETFs.

For one, I like the fact that they haven't given up the fight against the SEC to get Bitcoin ETF approved. I've been hearing of these ETFs from Vaneck so I don't think it's because of the recent market recovery but it's also good timing as there's positivity in the space at the moment. No matter the number of times the SEC will reject these ETF proposals, I'm sure one day they will approve of it. Can't wait for that day.

And that day, maybe they finally realized that bitcoin will survive even without their intervention.
Because right now, we are seeing that bitcoin is already doing great even without their approval of this bitcoin ETF.
I am on the side that we will really see this in the traditional market exchanges in the very near future.
I also believe that it is only a matter of time before we see that day. And once it happens, I guess, the value of bitcoin will further boost its worth in the market.

Also, you can have an idea from their comparison table that you can found here, comparing it with potential competitors, ETH, ADA, DOT.

I strongly recommend that players steer clear of casinos that pirate their game's software such as this one.

Anyone may use bustabit's old v1 source code for free (even commercially!) as long as they comply with its open source license and make their own code available under the same terms. Casinos that don't want to do that have the option of purchasing a paid license from bustabit that doesn't have that requirement. SatoshiHill has neither published its source code nor purchased a license from bustabit, which means they are using our software without permission.

Now, this is interesting if they will respond on this post.
It has been 3 months that they haven't posted anything on their thread.
Maybe, they will slowly abandon this game and won't come back anymore.

But their definition of their site published is really misleading, most popular? This is very questionable?
I don't even understand what they mean by mediumst here.

"SatoshiHill.com is the most popular and mediumst gambling game for Bitcoin."

2838  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: $2.7 billion merger - Bally's Corp and Gamesys - one of the biggest in gambling on: October 11, 2021, 07:54:41 PM
If they do finally decide to bring it online and also start accepting cryptocurrencies as well, I do think this might not work straight away, since there is a lot of competition in that market and they cannot really risk anything at that point.

Bringing it online world mean already having a whole lot of customers returning to the casino and at the same time they can make a lot of money, more money since during the covid it's hard to basically run any business like that, there is always a fear of an outbreak happening.

This idea can go both ways.
Regulations are strict but not in all the states, at some places it might flourish well, therefore it's all dependent on how well they do their research. Cryptos can provide global exposure as well. Let's see how it goes.
They can test it out if this is going to be working for them but if they're more focused on the opposite market physically, then they have to stay where they're strong and branded well. Adopting cryptos is just like adding a payment option to them so it won't really matter that much on their end if they do that. And for the side of their customers, they'll have various options for cash-in/cash-out. But yeah, it's going to rely on how they'll make themselves known through after adopting it.

Exactly! Venturing in crypto is just like an added payment option for their regular patrons.
And in case of exploring their opportunities in online casino, it is just another part of their business.
It doesn't mean that they can't survive if their online venture will not be a success.
And in case, they will get into this online market, definitely, they know what they are doing.
They won't involve themselves and shell out huge money if they know they can't get something from it.
We should not treat them as beginners in this field, because they are not.
2839  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading algos/bots getting better? on: October 11, 2021, 06:47:55 PM

         Sorry for the confusion, I am personally not using algos/bots. I meant the algos the exchanges use, and also the market makers strategies. To me it just seems they have really fine tuned ways to pull you out of your position.. or at least my ositions. But thanks for the feedback. I have managed to keep my trading account level, no major losses but no major gains either. So maybe I am not risking enough. Like I said, it seems everytime I get pulled out of a trade the market almost immediately reverses. My question from this point is this. If I set my stops at another 10% or so, will the market makers or algos find a way to go down 10% more? it just seems like I am constantly getting shaken out of my positions and when I started it wasnt like that.. or, maybe when I started the coins I was betting on were just on such a bullish trend that I avoided these things. It's starting to get sort of intimidating to me that my trades were so predictable, perhaps I should find some new trading plans altogether. Just wondering if anyone else feels this way, or if this is a common thing.

What if try another exchange, and see if that kind of situation will happen to you again?
It is never wrong to try other exchanges out there, you may even find them helpful in your trading journey.
I am not saying that it is about the exchange, because more than likely the system will be the same to others.
But just to test yourself, and see where the possible cause/s of what you are experiencing with your trades.
It may be your strategy or their system, but at least have a lil experiment so you will learn more on this market.
