2841  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Doge can it go 1$ on: January 28, 2023, 09:25:48 PM
Doge can go 1$ many people waiting that.
At this point with its number one fan Elon Musk not hyping the coin anymore... I honestly don't see this to be possible, and not to mention the huge coin supply that makes it difficult for price to raise to that dollar mark... Its almost mission impossible, maybe if bitcoin hits $100k then it can ride on bitcoins success.

Doge can go 1$ many people waiting that.
I'm not sure whether Dogecoin will be able to touch the value of $1 because I see that there is a lot of supply (currently stands at 132 billion dogecoin) and not everyone actively uses Dogecoin for transactions.
Agreed, the huge supply is obvious but I also think meme coins are no longer the talk of the day which doesn't help build demand for dogecoin.
2842  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hit And Run Gambling - Can The House Be Beaten This way? on: January 28, 2023, 08:09:11 PM
Hi gamblers, it's a simple question I want to ask...

Remember it is said that, in gambling, the house always wins, I Want us to look at this two scenarios and tell if this are not actually a way to win/beat the house..
The house is watching you after cooking up a way to beat the house  Grin

Imagine yourself as a new gambler who just joined a casino, played a few dollars and with luck on your side, you win money running into thousands of dollars, will withdrawing your money plus winnings from that casino, never to return there to play again, mean you have beaten that casino?
If the first time gambler isn't going to be coming back, then technically this is one way to beat the house! But the problem is the house never forgets, and will be patiently waiting to win against you just to even out the odds. And honestly, anybody that has tasted success is always going to comeback for more and gamblers end up fulfilling the prophecy....

Secondly, imagine that on your first day of gambling, you gambled $200 and in the process, won money running into hundreds of thousands of dollars, you withdraw the money and start up your own business, and never returned to gambling again, isn't this one way to beat the house?
This one is certainly going to be classified as beating the house and probably only a handful of people fall into this category.

Paypal, FTX???, how so mate?

Anyway, Paypal have always been like this and some people appreciate these security checks they do as they safe guard their clients funds.

Btw not to sound like am picking sides here, but don't you think if this card were ever used by you, then you should have some kind of record for it somewhere, which should help getting to restore your account access... Otherwise from the look of things this is your best option or get in touch with support at a later date.
2844  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My son, daughter, nephew wants to know about Bitcoin on: January 28, 2023, 02:42:19 PM
Several people in our family work in cryptocurrency. We always work on Bitcoins and cryptocurrencies with computers and mobile phones. This made my family's young children interested in our work and wanting to know about Bitcoin.
The crypto family, adorable! I suppose you have a whale among the family depending on how long you have been working with cryptocurrencies and the kids interest is expected especially that most of you guys are working in this industry which should be easy for you to teach them Smiley

But the problem is that my family's younger children all study in primary label. Should we educate young children about Bitcoin or introduce them to Bitcoin?
You don't want to bore them with things like there are 21 million bitcoin coins to ever exist eblah blah, you can teach them like you would with fiat only difference they won't have btc in its physical form....

Moreover, another important thing is that in my country cryptocurrency i.e. Bitcoin is a completely government banned currency. So should we teach our children about the banned currency?
If it's banned keep this among the older members of the family, you don't want to be answerable for unnecessary questions if the government personnel catch wind of your operations.

Moreover, as time progresses, the interest of children towards Bitcoin is increasing day by day.  Would it be reasonable to keep young children away from Bitcoin in the context of my country?
Distract them with information like these coins are for your video games needed to get upgrades, am sure they would buy it unless they persist to learn... Teach them.. The revolution is already on.

2847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2022/2023 on: January 27, 2023, 10:09:20 PM
I expect City to dominate the game - especially because Arsenal has a smaller team and will certainly prioritize the PL and rotate more.
I didn't think any of the teams were going to hold back and the actually brought their A teams , especially that this was a match to show the world who was more superior and an ego booster,  and as expected Manchester City carried the day with a narrow win... Inspite Arsenal putting up a brave fight playing away from home. Btw such a result is what Arsenal needed to just let them know that they are not invisible, and should motivate them to work harder for upcoming EPL games which they are tipped to win  Roll Eyes

The bookies agree and offer really attractive odds on Arsenal - many will try at odds higher than 4. No matter what I said before, I will probably be one of them Grin

City kind of found their form of late after having a few bad games, and with their hunger for goals it wouldn't be wise betting against them tbh. Bookies know this too  Cool

Let's go citizens, get that Elephant down already  Tongue

I can't think of anything that could propel bitcoin to be come worthless at the point of reaching zero!  
Btw the way, bitcoin runs around the concept of "one man's trash is another man's treasure", so anybody choosing to dump(sell) their coins now, be rest assured that somebody else is ready to be the new owner of the coins which is why the forum is also such a success because this is proof that btc supporters are around to secure the demand bitcoin needs Cool
2850  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Reason why I will never help anyone to invest in crypto on: January 26, 2023, 09:13:10 PM
There are some people like six of them who are troublesome to me, they don't want to learn but they like the success stories surrounding crypto investment, not sure about the risk side, the funny thing is they want me to help them invest and choose coins for them, to me this is like breaking the rules of crypto investment, meaning they have no knowledge about what they are investing money on.
The truth is no one wants to take responsibility for picking out the wrong coin and they would rather delegate this task to someone else who can take the risk and watch from the sidelines.. But tbh to survive in the crypto verse one has to be willing to get the knowledge of this technology and different projects around.

Even if they invest what they are ready to lose it still makes no sense, no one can run crypto investment for you while you know nothing about the tech, I told them this but they believe I intentionally do not want help them.  In this case they are the only ones that can help themselves.
Good thing you were frank with them, with time they will need to fish out the best coins to invest in by themselves. And for the sake of your own peace of mind just point them in the write direction and they will get it.. Like riding a bicycle or driving a car.
2851  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC rise described as false bull on: January 26, 2023, 06:54:18 PM
False bull sounds out of place, maybe too clichéd too Roll Eyes
But based on market structure the current trading range of bitcoin could be classified as a pull back trying to create a new lower high before a lower low and down it goes again... but should price keep going up breaking ~$25k price, then it's safe to say bitcoin is back on a bullish trend!
But for now fingers crossed hope the momentum doesn't fade any time soon to allow price break these psychological price barriers.
2852  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 26, 2023, 06:40:11 PM

No, I think Messi can still return to Barcelona to play for his childhood club before retiring there as the club legend.
Players returning to their so called childhood clubs is a bad idea because all those beautiful memories he left could be erased and we saw what happened with Cristiano. Maybe that Saudi Arabia deal is in the pipeline after all because his playing days are almost over and what better way of ending it by getting a fat pay check.

Well as far as i know, Messi did not really had to leave Barcelona at all. It was just the case, that Barcelona could not afford to pay Messi his extremely high salary.
Come on, Are you saying that Messi is still a Barcelona player...  Tongue

Chelsea has win the race with Manchester United to gets Lyon player Malo Gusto and it say Gusto had personal agreement
Looks like this move has not yet happened based on my Google search.. It's all about these tabloids getting more traffic using fake news!
By the way, I don't think united was ever in this race looking at the position that Gusto plays has several other players fighting for this position, but had it been a striker maybe United would have been interested.
2854  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Wallet for Android / Re: Best wallet for Android? on: January 26, 2023, 07:21:41 AM
At the moment too many wallets to choose from and you can not be too sure of the authenticity of them because even scammers (hackers) are able to push cloned apps on some reputable app websites.
Though personally for transactions that move in and out coinomi serves me well thanks to its multi chain features, and different device support, but for long term use an address generated offline should be enough for my btc.
2855  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The one thing I still don't get about crypto and Tax on: January 26, 2023, 07:00:42 AM
The government warned all crypto investors, both new investors and old investors about how fraud cases are increasing in crypto space
These hypocrites, yet corruption and all wrong doings happen with the aid of fiat, and these guys still point at crypto smh.

yet many do not care and they lose money but some made a lot of money and some even made life changing money..
Their money, their rules and I thought these guys said bitcoin isn't real... Wonder what happened for them to have a change of mind Huh

Yet till this day crypto still remain unregulated.
Crypto is very difficult to regulate to be honest , you might have the laws and all but if the people choose not to abide it.. will not happen! Besides people are under financial stress with all these taxes and all, and they get to learn about bitcoin were no one any forcibly get a dime from you unless hacked of course. Bitcoin, real freedom to the people.

But why the hell are the government taxing people on their profits when they aren't ready to take responsibility for their losses to fraud and theft?  Why the hell are they using the word " its unregulated " as an excuse but still take money from people?
It's easier to take than give & I suppose and the government know it to. And btw taking responsibility for people's losses can be a very expensive undertaking hence putting a blind eye to this.
2856  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Big money bad for bitcoin in the long run on: January 25, 2023, 11:36:00 PM
As bitcoin continues on its current bullish path, all kinds of people are trying to ride this wave by buying any cheap coins they can get their hands on as they anticipate the next High to come. But the scary part about this is that Big money is also flowing into the crypto economy that will push price to easily register new highs, but this comes at a price, when these whales decide to take out their money.. markets bleed red which is why Big money is not good if volatility is to be controlled. In the long run Bitcoin is better off without the Big money, otherwise this becomes like a pyramid scheme always leaving the last man standing with empty pockets as the first guy to make a move gets all the accumulated $$$$.

What's the community's take on this?

Is money the real root of all evil in today's society
Quote
I do not think so, it’s like saying we don’t need money, but money sustains life. It will always depend on how you used your money. There are many meaningful things you can use the money for; e.g., building hospitals, feeding the homeless, building schools, a fund to teach people, charity workhelpingelp technologsupportingort the government in enhancing its citizen's way of living, and other many things you can do with worthwhile money.
Money is like a coin with 2 sides, which are the good side and the bad side... And with this kind of setup one side will always be dominant than the other and here the bad will always  be the loudest which is why mostly people quote this saying most of the times. But I do agree, money Hass done great things for people, used to get needed surgeries, helped the homeless etc.

The thing is most of us believe that it's only money that can solve whatever problems we have and this is 85% true, and when someone can't get it the resort to evil ways of getting it like crime and the alike hence the reason for saying that "money is the root of all evils. "

I don't know about bitting the dust because these guys look well invested with their sports sponsorships which could paint a picture that they still have the $$$$.
But reading those tweets shown in the article of the exchange failing to payout a $400 withdraw request really looks bad on their side... because there could be more cases that aren't just reported ! Maybe the exchange is buying time to recover the $10 million that was wrongly sent through fees and all other revenue channels that brings them some money...
2860  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoin investments have become risky this day. on: January 25, 2023, 02:38:54 PM
The problem with altcoins today is the pool of these is wide and deep, and to top it off most are doing similar projects which make them less of value, but if you can find an altcoin that does it differently I can guarantee you that this coin will succeed and market never fails such!

Quote
Altcoin investments have become risky this day.
Risk has always been there, and in times of a bear market, chances are high that the weaker coins will see more red than those that have a strong reputation and decent following. It's all about finding the coin that ticks most of the investment boxes!
