2861  Economy / Economics / Re: People over 65 having most of wealth in US on: February 20, 2022, 07:50:55 PM
People over the age of 65 accounts for 76 percent of all wealth in the United States.

Consider where the crypto markets will be when the younger generations that have grown up with cryptocurrency reach the age of this group...

The world revolves around, the peak of the industrial era was their time and they manage to enjoy everything they have worked for. If you checked the last world war II in 1945, subtract it from 2022, that's a 77 years difference. That was the beginning of the journey of old people we have today as to why they control the most wealth in the US. Though there is now a change of civilization from the industrial era to technology, that's why the new richest people are all coming from tech companies, for example, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and other young billionaires.

Industrialization revolutionized the financial system with stocks and bonds but now that bitcoin is here kicking ass, we will soon dominate the system, there are going to be younger crypto billionaires that will soon shake everywhere.
2862  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A thing worst than "don't trade with your emotion" a trader should avoid on: February 20, 2022, 06:35:30 PM
Watching youtube is only good to learn TA and usually channels like that have a small following. Cryptoface has been doing lives with trading tho dunno is his thing he uses good, never tried it.

Stop it! That's not true!
I have watched great bitcoin educational content creators that dish out the best content every week and 2 times weekly, the likes of Coin Bureau, Red Panda mining, Bits Be Trippin, and the list continues. They have plenty of subscribers and I must say they are doing very fine especially Coin Bureau is always more of fundamental details than technical and he has about 1.95M subscribers.

If people used their brains a little more, then they wouldn’t waste time on such nonsense, which is really just a waste of time. These people just use what technology allows them to do and make decent money on it, and I wouldn't spend a second of my time watching something like that, even if it's the only thing that can be watched.

The worst of them are those who promote everything they are paid for, regardless of the fact that they know that it will cause direct damage to their viewers. One only has to go back a few years and see how they lied about how Bitcoin came to an end, and that some bitcoin tr(c)ash becomes a new big thing.

They usually end up with thousands of subscribers because they upload what would get them more subscribers, and they constantly complain when Youtube removes their videos. If it weren't for the fact that the purge occasionally affects those who provide excellent content, I would prefer that shadow be added to their video rather than eliminated. We need to tell people what they need to know, not what they want to hear.

It could also be that administrators are working in the backend trying to fix something.

2864  Economy / Trading Discussion / A thing worst than "don't trade with your emotion" a trader should avoid on: February 20, 2022, 08:33:30 AM
There's a popular trading adage that says you shouldn't trade with emotion since it might lead to wrong decisions about when to buy and sell, but I think there is a worse thing than emotion.
Some YouTube channels are excellent evaluators who will never be biased in their judgments, they will tell you everything, even the fair fundamental and technical aspects of everything you need to hear, but some are so bad that I get irritated when I see their YouTube video thumbnail.
As a trader, you should trade with all of the knowledge you have obtained, your actions and targets should be based on your discoveries, not whether bitcoin will increase by 100x or by a million.



Shillings and hype are good sometimes, they might have their influence on bitcoin/Altcoins growth but I think it's not good to follow their steps because they say it will 100x, they are overdoing it and it doesn't help traders.
Be focused on your own findings and make a clear decision on your trades.

Egypt was lucky to have ended the AFCON in a penalty shoot out and still lost after all. Senegal would defeat Egypt with a clear margin because Egypt lack the squad to hold down senegal not even for a draw Mane would do what didn't have the chance to do against Egypt. Its only Salah i am seeing in Egypt and him alone can't move the team

Being prepared is different from Luck. Go and check the table and history, Egypt is very well known for winning AFCON 7 times, in fact, no country in Africa has done it the way Egypt has won but as I said, in football, as you have said it was luck but saying they lack the squad, it does fit Egypt players because they tried their best that day.
It was a first for Senegal, they can enjoy it for now, who knows by the next Afcon Mane would want to retire.  Tongue
2867  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Signature campaign earnings and monthly income. on: February 19, 2022, 04:54:34 PM
There is no such thing as monthly income in bounties, many months can come and go without you earning a dime from bounties, don't treat bounties as source of income it's unreliable.

The question is openly written as "signature" and not  "bounties." You're making a mockery of yourself if you rely on bounties and leave your work. Signature may even be a source of passive income for certain people, but at the end of the bounty campaigns, you will surely be chasing after the team and managers.

Yes, I totally agree with you. Good financial management is always essential. It doesn't matter what we earn, as long as we're spending it wisely and are able to maintain our standard of living.

I am wondering, do you keep everything that you earn from signature campaigns in some cryptocurrency (one or more) or do you invest in new projects that are more risky? Did you make any calculations to determine which approach would be more profitable?


Do you know how much it's to get a quality top shirt from developed countries? No signature here will maintain your feeding and life expenses no matter how hard you try to maintain your standard of living, your job should be your primary source of living if you don't want to regret any future regrets by quitting your job.
All projects are risky and prices may fall anytime but their damage is more than each other. Pick any and invest wisely.
2868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Snooker Game on: February 19, 2022, 09:47:54 AM
I thought Billiards is quite different from snooker? is it that in Russia, they prefer to call it billiards? The two are fun and entertaining but I prefer the snooker it's more popular here than Billiards. There is a pool too I guess.

Billard is very different from snooker. The one that shares resemblance with snooker is pool. Infact, most people who play pool mistake it to be snooker. I was one of them. It is of recent that I knew what I played as a kid growing up was pool and not snooker. Check this article and it will also shock you what you know https://quedos.com.au/difference-between-billiards-pool-and-snooker/ . We used to bet while playing it and those around also place bets on the players. Pool is a gamblers game, more than tennis or other games for two. A player can lose the overall game but make much money from betting as he plays on. I like it but the balls are expensive to buy and that makes charges collected to play it at local joints in my country high.

I was confused at first because the thread says Snooker game and I know that they have similarities but Billiard doesn't have a pockets like a snooker. I have visited the link you share at the glance of the first man reply I quoted but I was able to understand that we all confuse the names and games when they mean different things, just has some similarities and called Billiards(Billiard, pool, snooker) games in general. Here is a short video[1] I saw that explains everything about Billiards.

2869  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: India's confusing crypto bill on: February 19, 2022, 09:24:02 AM
man, I confess that I'm shocked by this news, I didn't know it was possible to pay tax for something illegal, how could that be possible?

The whole state of India is confused, the country is divided because the stakeholders are having different clique, half want it to be legalized and the other part wants it to be banned, they both are pushing to pass/deny the bill for bitcoin freedom that's why we are seeing different headlines about bitcoin ban and taxes from India.

Quote
they are becoming a joke with these attitudes, why don't they decide right away what they want? if they don't like bitcoin just put laws that guarantee people won't use bitcoin to commit crimes and let people choose whether or not they want to use bitcoin, they look like dictation governments disguised as democratic

Have you read the 2022 report of crypto crime analysis? you can find everything from Chainanalysis[1], You will come to the conclusion that India is just a minor in Bitcoin crimes. The money the government has been printing has its bad side too, they should allow people to do whatever they want it freedom(bitcoin).

Yea, that's it. What about you?

I am struggling to learn every technical part of bitcoin, the reading never ends, and sometimes I blame myself for not coming early. There are plenty of bitcoin proposals that have been implemented and they are just plenty to accommodate on this my small head but thanks to Bitcointalk, it becomes easier to digest.
Virtually, friends are a great way to enjoy place and I must say that I have come across plenty of people from different backgrounds that are highly knowledgeable and blessed with skills, I am hoping that one day I would get to a point on Bitcointalk where my value will be expressed from my knowledge.

like last night I still found members don't know what is bech32 address This.

This reason might not be enough to prove that the user doesn't know the Bech32 address. Maybe the poster was rushing to respond to the page and unintentionally submitted a multi-sig address or maybe the user feels like using it, there are some occasions where the manager accepts multi-sig and P2pkh addresses instead of bech32 when you go through some of the spreadsheets.

Quote
For the next year, that possible your manager doesn't ask for the bech32 address again but will ask you to provide the Taproot address, do you know what it is?
No, I won't explain that you have to search in this forum, you have grown up, there are many tools on this forum to make it easier to find information about taproot

Despite the upgrades, some people are not bothered and wouldn't move their bitcoins from address A to address B, some prefer using their P2PKH address as long as the fees are still affordable and are supported by other wallets.

First, you need to know that Telegram is a home for scammers, associating yourself with bitcoin through telegram is like setting trap for yourself, I don't go there except for my bots notification.
If you are open to learning, there are plenty of bitcoin books that will guide you, there are many of them on the bookshelf created by Ratimov, Beginners & Help Encyclopedia [UPD: +Electrum Board] [1]
I also practically learn from Learnmeabitcoin[2] and the famous mastering bitcoin[3] by Andreas M. Antonopoulos, you will love these materials, trust me. Try and also visit Development & Technical Discussion board,[4] the threads are never boring.

2873  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you improve about Bitcoin if you had the chance ? on: February 18, 2022, 07:28:55 PM
In as much as my private key gives me full control of my funds and it grants me access to sign a transaction if it gets misplaced then I'm doom for life. What if there was an improvement on this maybe a way of recovering back ones private key if it gets misplaced even if it would take a proof of work alogrithm or even a more tudious process but having a chance to get back lost wallets in cases of carelessness or maybe hazardous damage since it's not advisable to store private keys online nor would it possible for everyone to memorize this combined alpha-numeric values of SHA256 alogrithm

The best and safest method to retrieve your keys back in the future is to back them up as soon as you open a new wallet, writing down your seed/private keys is not difficult, since you know that you will be responsible for your own security, it should be your first priority before locking bitcoin on its public key hash.

If I have the opportunity to develop bitcoin, I will ensure that transaction blocks are kept to a maximum of kilobytes (if possible) so that other nodes do not suffer from a lack of space to store all data. This will encourage everyone to become a Node.
I will also make sure the speed is increased so that the memory pool can accommodate more transactions and miners will make more money in revenue, more people will want to mine and that will improve the security of the network.
2874  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin really censorship-resistent if they can't reach Canadian truckers on: February 18, 2022, 07:13:00 PM
The canadian truckers are unable to get a hold of the 21 bitcoin that have been donated to them recently because the wallets associated with the fundraising have been tracked and banned from all regulated financial institutions (including banks and exchanges). Two questions for discussion:
1. Is bitcoin really censorship resistent if the government can track and ban addresses? Bitfinex hackers being tracked and caught is another example (though most people would argue that this is an example of "positive" censorship resistence, unlike the canadian truckers example).
2. Can bitcoin be both censorship resistent and transparent at the same time?

I am late to this post, I wanted to continue a thread from the previous donations that were made last two weeks.
I am concerned about the exchanges that gave out the details of contributors to Canada's federal police force, other external wallet could simply mix their bitcoin and moved their sats to another wallet without any worries. Centralized Crypto exchanges are not different from banks, they make trading easier but they are more dangerous than banks, they can snitch on you and stab you in the back when any country bribes them.

Hi guys,

what is the actual status of Blockchain Gambling, is there now Live-Roulette running? I ask this, because i don't like to be scammed anymore  through the middle man Online Casino.

Blockchain or decentralized gambling you mean? there will always be a middle man at a point to review your winnings and process your withdrawals. Live-Roulette running is available on very few gambling platforms.
Most online casinos now run on a blockchain, with full transparency, though some may require you to KYC for some reason.

The last one (fortunejack.com) stole from me 20$ It' s not much money, but under this conditions i can' t gamble with serious money.

You are trolling and I think very soon, you will get fed by DT members. I thought you're are having issues with withdrawal until I see your comment about being restricted with IP address, next time before you bet on any platform, read their policy terms.

2876  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: CrazyTime and Monopoly, should we trust? on: February 18, 2022, 10:08:19 AM
So far on the poll, people here do not trust this game

Yes   - 4 (28.6%)
No   - 10 (71.4%)
Total Voters: 14


I also voted no the house has a big chance to win the game and he can easily manipulate the game by using devices, honestly, I have not played this kind of game because the chances are in favor of the house based on a calculation I prefer playing in a game where I can check the fairness of the game.

Yes   - 5 (26.3%)
No   - 14 (73.7%)
Total Voters: 19

The number of comments is more than the votes and the current result is slightly different from yours. I voted NO, the game looks like a dummy and unserious, I wouldn't trust this kind of game with my money.


Getting reviews of a casino is a good way to get a basic judgement of casino but we cannot determine if it will remain the same in future.
Things are different if the casino has a long term good reputation, in that case we can have good trust on them.
But if a casino has good reviews only for the short term then it still comes under the risky category.
We have seen cases where scamsters initially build trust by giving good services and then scam their users out of nowhere.

Reviews are mostly not the best approach to lean on a betting platform, I have seen people here get paid for reviews and since money may be involved, they will likely ignore the bad sides of the casino and make a positive review to attract more people, it happens by most YouTubers when they do reviews for these casinos, instead of making it looks neutral, they instead do it with hope to bring more customers.
2877  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Snooker Game on: February 18, 2022, 09:36:45 AM
I got acquainted with this game when I was a student. My friend and I liked to spend our free evenings in the billiard room playing Pyramid, or as we call this game Russian billiards. There we also learned how to play snooker.

I thought Billiards is quite different from snooker? is it that in Russia, they prefer to call it billiards? The two are fun and entertaining but I prefer the snooker it's more popular here than Billiards. There is a pool too I guess.

I'm talking about the sportsbook you are advertising in your avatar and your signature, are odds interesting to bet on snooker there and especially on the events you've quoted above? You are necessarily aware of that since you post so many messages here and you are not a spammer, right?

To say that's comment is coming from a high-ranked member, the mods will soon come for him.

The problem with snooker games is that major companies are not investing enough on the game to make it popular. These snooker tournaments are not well publicized hence many snooker fans tend not to know about these tournaments.

There is no hype in it like we do in other sports, having it included in the Olympics may bring out the beauty of it but that still depends on sponsors, they put money in whatever they like.
2878  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bear vs Bull : The Beauty Of Cryptocurrency on: February 18, 2022, 09:08:37 AM
Feel free to state your thought(s).

Our mind is financially tricky, that's why everyone gets scared in a bear market and sells off everything. That being said, I used to have this question on my mind why do people always sell their bitcoins when the market is dumping? is it that they fear the bear market? but my findings help me to understand that the crypto market is more than just a regular spot trading of BTC?USD, we have margins, futures, and options, they will sell in other to mitigate their loss.
If I have the capacity to gather more wealth one day, I will be a full-time trader, both bear and bull markets should be a win-win if you know how to play around, sometimes holding and waiting for another bear market is never enough to accomplish huge profits.

So far, I've had a lot of bad exchanges, and most of them have been scams. however, most of the exchanges I've forgotten the name of because of poor service, and became scams. one of them may be a latoken, so far I have several coins there, but have never made a withdrawal until now. however, bad exchanges are very easy to forget.

Did I just read what you just type correctly? Bad exchanges are very easy to forgive! I doubt if you your money has ever been stuck on any exchange, you will coarse that exchange and continue to trash them whenever you come across their name.
Latoken is a poor exchange, and it irritates me when new projects list in their exchange as their first listing because of the low volume, they list anything to earn their share, similar to Coinsbit, another tortoise-like exchange. Grin Grin

2880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto stuck in sports betting site, now they want KYC on: February 17, 2022, 10:09:00 PM
Sometimes, we tend to break the TOS just to enjoy gambling despite the restrictions but as we take the risk, we should also keep in mind that our funds aren't in a safe place. 1500 is still a huge amount but to be honest, it would be hard for you to recover it. VPNs aren't that safe these days.

Maybe it's just a penny he was playing around with, you never can tell. He knew the risk of gambling in a non-jurisdiction area but he still went ahead, that's even gambling for taking such a risk.  Grin
VPNs are safe, depending on what type you are using, some VPNs are not strong enough to cover your tracks on some websites.

Did they ask for the KYC when you were depositing funds ? No right most of the times this happens and problem is that you used a VPN ofcourse which will end up against their rules and regulations causing your winnings and everything to go, they won't be allowing you to withdraw anymore as well since this would be against their policies. What you can do is ask some friend of yours from other country where the crypto is legal to do that and this can actually work only if they don't suspect it but then again be would be making the bets on your behalf much like a third party which is again scary to trust regarding so much money.

You forgot the part where OP says he has chosen Hongkong as his location and that's another area where crypto betting is not allowed. He has done a big mistake that he just had to let's go as a loss and win for the casino.
