I guess that by Bitcoin you mean blockchain technology.Bitcoin is built on top of blockchain technology and cannot exist without blockchain technology.I would say that Bitcoin is an addition to blockchain technology.
Anyway,blockchain technology has nothing to do with artificial intelligence so far.I don't believe that blockchain developers are interested into working in the AI field.
I don't know how blockchain technology can help for developing better AI robots.This topic is too complex for uneducated people,who aren't tech savvy.
You are trying to find a connection between technologies(blockchain and AI),but that connection doesn't exist.Crypto and Bitcoin supporters aren't interested in AI technology,they just want to make money out of Bitcoin/altcoins.
2842  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Your thoughts On the crypto trading simulator? on: September 05, 2021, 12:11:19 PM
Even though there is no 100% working trading signal, there are several platforms that offer a crypto trading simulator, e.g. crypto parrot 🦜 which offers such services to enhance crypto traders’ skills and development that guarantees trading profits. I have not tried it out but will like to hear from users who have used such services in crypto trading.

What are your experiences and recommendations?

No service can "guarantee" you profits from trading,even if it's a service that can help you enhance your trading skills.Even the best traders are losing money.Can you provide a link to this crypto parrot service?
I'm sick of advertisements about trading bots that "guarantee" you profits on autopilot.This is ridiculous.
I'm never heard anything about the term 'crypto parrot'.I know that many FOREX trading platform offer Demo accounts,where you can trade without depositing real money.This is a great way to gain experience that enhance your trading skills.I don't know if whether or not this "crypto parrot" is the same as a Demo trading account.
2843  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 77% of Russian investors prefer Bitcoin to Gold and Forex on: September 05, 2021, 11:46:59 AM
History teaches us that it doesn't matter what the people in Russia want.
What the Russian government wants is the most important thing.There's a big gap between the people of Russia and the government.
I consider this good news,since more and more people in Russia have a positive view towards Bitcoin.
The government/central banks might still be hostile against BTC,but rules and regulations can be bypassed and broken.I don't recommend breaking the rules,but sooner or later,the powers that be in Russia will realize that trying to suppress the Bitcoin/cryptocurrency industry can provide only negative results.

Let me add that I am down over 100,000 USD in the last 3 weeks, 20,000 today alone and almost 1.4 million overall. I am a diamond player. I am a very loyal player even though I constantly lose.

WTF?Really?You are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for gambling?
This seems very unprofessional on their side.Crypto casinos and sports bet websites should treat their biggest and most loyal players as royals.After all,you and other gamblers are giving them revenue and paying the salaries of their customer support.

Quote
I know stake won’t do anything , because if their support/sports book managers don’t like you, they won’t help you. It’s all personal, not solely business.

Again,very unprofessional.I would never deposit my money or coins in a crypto casino,where the customer support could be helpful only if the person,who works there likes you.Being good to your customers doesn't mean that we have to be best friends forever.
Unfortunately Stake.com are protected by their Terms of Service,so there's nothing you can do about it,except leaving Stake and choosing another platform.


2845  Economy / Economics / Re: Recent advertisement for Visa - what a joke on: September 05, 2021, 06:39:52 AM
Being a company or corporation is uncool.Being a "network" is cool. Grin
I don't see anything irritating about this ad.It's just an ad.Ads are usually misleading and telling you what you want to hear.No advertisement is going to tell you the truth about a product.
I don't see any 'stolen ideas' from the cryptocurrency world in this VISA ad,so I couldn't care less.

and I'm not even sure why they need to advertise.  It's not like people want to go get a Visa card after seeing a crappy advertisement like this one.

I suspect they're trying to exploit behavioural science.  They want the public to subconsciously associate words like "network", "signature" and the notion that it's supposedly for "everyone" with their brand before Joe Public hears people like us using those words or phrases in connection with Bitcoin.  People will naturally assume it's all the same stuff if we're all using the same terminology.  

They're not hoping people will think "I want a Visa card".  Most of them already have one.  They want people to think "I'm already part of a network that lets me connect with everyone else, so I don't need any other networks that basically sound the same as what I already have".  




I was thinking the same thing.VISA has a gazillion customers.Why would they still advertise their product?
Probably 90% of the population in the world have heard at least once about VISA.
Marketing/advertising is all about exploiting "behavioral science".
All marketers want to turn the people into buying zombies.
2846  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Reserves on Coinbase the Lowest Since December 2017 on: September 05, 2021, 06:03:09 AM
The Coinbase reserves were at a peak back in January 2021 and they started falling down during the entire 2021.I don't think that this has something to do with the Bitcoin market being bulling or bearish.The Coinbase reserves were falling at the bullish market in the first quarter of 2021 and continued falling during the price crash,which occurred in May and the stagnant summer BTC market.The Bitcoin price recovered a little bit recently,but the Coinbase reserves aren't going up.
I guess that the Coinbase reserves pattern can be explain with many people being disappointed by Coinbase and leaving the platform.
2847  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MrBeast now teaming with Coinbase to give away $100,000 in Bitcoin on Twitter! on: September 03, 2021, 12:10:08 PM
Some give away is not even worth doing at all!!!!
How will he make give aways in such a way that only the rich and influential people can participate?
Requirements are almost impossible for a starter to have,
Is that still called give away?
Fuck that !!!

Calm down big boy.
The company that hosts the giveaway creates the rules and requirements.
They can decide who can and who cannot participate.
What do you mean by "rich and influential"?The giveaway is open to people,who are living in Tier 1 countries(US,UK,CA),and currently have a Coinbase account.This doesn't look like a pretty high barrier of entry.
Unfortunately,the people in other parts of the world can't participate,but life isn't fair anyways,so who cares.
I really hope that Mr.Beast will become the number 1 Youtuber in the world.
Pewdiepie became a little bit boring lately(I still like him though). Grin
2848  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to Poker on: September 03, 2021, 11:44:35 AM
NFT games are probably the best thing that fits your bill right now.

Another thing that you could look into is video poker, but of course you'd be playing against the house.

But with video poker you have a chance of getting meaningful edge on your side if you play everything perfectly which might be what you're looking for? That's also solved by algorithms but it's much harder said than done.

Most NFT games look like a "play to win" scam to me.I know that all gambling games require money to be 'invested',but the NFT games,which I know are mostly about buying some weird "asset" and waiting for that "asset" to pay you income or dividends in the form of a token.You could upgrade that asset by spending more crypto.There's no luck or skill here.It looks more like a cloud mining scam or a ponzi scheme to me.
Anyway,I don't know about what kind of game can beat poker in terms of balance between skill and luck.
The guy how creates such game would be considered a genius and will become a millionaire.
2849  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Afghanistan replace afghan currency with Bitcoin? on: September 03, 2021, 11:11:18 AM
It has been said multiple times before that Bitcoin cannot help for recovering the economy of any country.
Bitcoin is just an asset/currency.
Only political and economic decisions made by the government can help for recovering the economy of any country-lowering the taxes,funding infrastructure projects,creating a better environment for doing business.
I don't know what the talibans can do in order to recover Afghanistan.Maybe they will try to negotiate some financial help from the western world,in exchange of something else-reducing the production and export of opiate/heroine and fighting terrorist organizations like ISIS.
2850  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: September 03, 2021, 06:06:29 AM
The draw between Italy and Bulgaria was pretty much expected,because the Italians are just chilling,when they play against Bulgaria.No pursuit of a mandatory win,just walking on the field. Grin
The first half was more like a training,rather than a World Cup qualification.
Italy won't have any problems in this group.Bulgaria has to build a new team of young players,so they are just playing to gain more experience.I'm pretty sure that Bulgaria can't beat Switzerland and the Bulgarians won't get out of this group.
2851  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin mining is not profitable enough! on: September 03, 2021, 05:46:39 AM
The mining difficulty and hashrate can be adjusted,so miners can still make money.
The Bitcoin price might go up tremendously.I'm not the biggest "BTC price to the moon" believer in the world,but logic says that an asset with limited supply and increasing demand will going to cost more in the future.This is just common sense.
If Bitcoin mining wasn't profitable,then why all those BTC miners are still mining BTC?Do you have some conspiracy theory to explain this?Is it because China is controlling Bitcoin?Or the CIA?Or the reptiles? Grin
2852  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto P2P Scam on: September 02, 2021, 11:14:31 AM
This story reminds me of a story to happened to me 2 years ago(the summer of 2019).
I guy from China contacted me and offered to send money to my PayPal and I will send them Bitcoins in exchange.He was selling sports clothing and equipment,which was manufactured in China.
Everything seemed really sketchy,so I refused.The idea of getting paid via a refundable payment method like PayPal and sending him non-refundable Bitcoins seemed really suspicious.
I don't remember what kind of commission he was offering to me.
I'm surprised that such scams still exist.I guess that there will always be naive people around the world.

 
2853  Economy / Gambling / Re: BetKing.io Relaunch (uncensored betking-scam thread) on: September 02, 2021, 06:07:03 AM
These are some of the worst terms and conditions I have seen at any casino.

7.3 In the instance that a deposit is unable to be verified by the Blockchain within a reasonable period, it will be considered fraud. All play and winnings associated with that deposit will be null and void. Your account will be temporarily closed and all costs incurred by BetKing Casino, including provider and platform fee retrieval, affiliate commissions, and BetKing administrative costs associated with these transactions will be noted on your account. A KYC is required to reopen a suspended or deactivated account. In the instance your account is reopened, all debts determined by BetKing Casino must be satisfied before you may play Games or make a withdrawal in the future

(source: https://betking.io/terms)

So if by mistake you make a deposit with small transaction fee, you are considered as a scammer.

This is ridiculous.How can a deposit be considered as fraud? Angry
You are giving them coins and they say "We can't verify the transaction,so this is fraud.We are going to keep your coins but your account is going to be banned."
I can't even realize the level of ridiculousness here.
It's funny how the Betking forum thread is dead,but this thread has many replies.
What is the Betking owner trying to achieve by making this relaunch?Betking already has lots of negative reviews and the reviews are visible.Do they think that they will get new customers?
2854  Economy / Economics / Re: Weightlifter received Billion of praise and wealth But rice farmer just nothing on: September 01, 2021, 12:24:41 PM
Comparing farmers with athletes seems kinda wrong to me.
I know that some athletes and sportsmen are paid millions,while many farmers are struggling to keep their farms,but life isn't fair and the capitalist system isn't fair as well.We can't make it fair.
Just because a farmer is producing food,that doesn't mean that he is a hero or a better human being than anyone else.There are people,who aren't farmers,but they are also working hard and helping the society.
Putting people on a pedestal seems wrong.
It doesn't matter,if they are farmers,workers,medics,priests,teachers or athletes.
2855  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase Sponsors New MrBeast YouTube Video! on: September 01, 2021, 11:54:34 AM
Watch it here now: https://youtu.be/zxYjTTXc-J8

That should also serve as some motivation for our soon to be launched Bitcointalk YouTube channel as what sponsors are achievable in the space! Go Coinbase! Great to see my favorite things coming together. This will no doubt spur a little adoption boost for the day.

I tried to make a Coinbase account a few days ago,but I can't verify my address.I don't have a bank statement,that is written in English,so they can't verify my account. Sad
Unfortunately,I've deleted my old Coinbase account 5 years ago,because I was disappointed by Coinbase.
Anyway,Coinbase is a big corporation and it's pretty normal for them to have a big advertising budget.They can definitely afford major social media influencers like Mr.Beast.
I wonder when will Coinbase sponsor a PewDiePie video?I know that Felix isn't that interested in Bitcoin,but what the hell... Grin
2856  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲BetFury.io|🔥NEW game CRYPTOS release 🔥 |⚡️Free BTC+BNB| 📈HotBit listing on: September 01, 2021, 11:30:41 AM
I like the concept of Betfiry.io with all the token staking and stuff.
What I don't like is the awful captcha when claiming coins from the faucet.I've tried more than ten times to complete the captcha and my browser crashed several times.My browser is updated and my internet connection is stable.
Betfury has the worst captcha of all faucets. Grin Doing thru so much effort and frustration to claim a few satoshis is just infuriating. Grin
Anyway,Betfury is a great crypto casino.

It seems like without rain and tips people are not motivated to chat. If they add these features then you will see more people participating but you will also an increase in low-quality comments from people who are just hoping to catch some rain.

It is always like that! Give the people the opportunity to earn some easy or free money and activity will go through the roof. Without moderation or extra requirements, the chat will quickly become a spam fest of beggars.

This feature reminds me of Cointiply.They have the same "get paid to chat" feature and their chat is full with people,but the discussions and conversations in the chat are 90% low quality.
2857  Economy / Economics / Re: El Salvador retirees protest against Bitcoin as legal tender on: September 01, 2021, 06:17:21 AM
Those protesters seem to be manipulated by someone.
I'm sure that the people of El Salvador will have freedom of choice and the government will not force them to use Bitcoin and to receive their salaries and pensions in BTC only.
It is pretty clear that Bitcoin will be the second legal tender in El Salvador,next to the US dollar.
The protest makes sense only if Bitcoin becomes the one and only legal tender in that country.
Receiving your pension or a salary in the form of a highly volatile currency/asset seems pretty scary for people,who aren't tech savvy. 
2858  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Next US president pro-bitcoin? on: September 01, 2021, 05:48:14 AM
What would happen if someone, lets say Bob. Goes out and says "We got a problem. Previous governments have been doing too much QE. Inflation is going wild. We will now adopt Bitcoin as legal tender."

Would Bob get elected? Or would majority of people not like Bob?

The next US president is going to be:
A.Kamala Harris
B.Some republican candidate,maybe Donald Trump or maybe someone else.
I don't think that Kamala Harris is pro-Bitcoin and Donald Trump is definitely anti-Bitcoin.
The republicans aren't pro-Bitcoin as well.
Anyway,it doesn't matter that much,if the future US president is pro-Bitcoin or not.Trump was anti-Bitcoin,but Bitcoin was having a good time,under the Trump administration.
2859  Economy / Speculation / Re: Seriously. How much market cap can Bitcoin absorb from other assets? on: August 31, 2021, 12:07:48 PM
How do you imagine Bitcoin "absorbing" other assets?
The vast majority of the people suddenly deciding to sell stocks,bonds,gold,real estate and buy Bitcoins?
And then what?HODL those Bitcoins waiting for another ATH?This means that Bitcoin will confirm it's role of being "digital gold" rather than becoming a truly functional currency.Is that what we want?
The banks,hedge funds and the major corporations will begin with the FUD,the same moment they realize that the people are selling stocks/bonds and buying BTC.There will be a reaction from the fiat monetary system fro sure and that reaction will be major FUD,combined with lobbying to the governments to regulate the crypto world even more.
2860  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin assets cannot be blocked - is that helping terrorists? on: August 31, 2021, 11:45:55 AM
While most of the illegal activities in the world take place in USD and I am far from saying that bitcoin is actually worse than any other asset on that regard, I have read many news about the American withdrawal from Afghanistan and how the US government froze some billions of USD belonging to the previous government or perhaps (debatable) to the country itself. Obviously, this could not have happened if those assets were held in bitcoin or other crypto. It seems that not everything is good in self-sovereignty?

BTW, this is not a statement saying that Taliban are terrorist, just wondering about some other cases in which states were clearly linked to terror.

Why would a government(even the government of Afghanistan) hold financial assets in the form of cryptocurrencies?No country in the world has cryptocurrency reserves,even El Salvador doesn't have crypto reserves.
The previous regime in Afghanistan was totally financially dependable of the USA.It's pretty normal for the USA to block the bank accounts and the financial streams heading towards Afghanistan,since the old regime doesn't exist anymore.
So far,I have never seen any good evidence that terrorists are using Bitcoin...
