The innovation happened for some reason, but now bitcoin isn't used for the same. There are people who are using bitcoin for regular transaction, and for large volume transaction. Apart from this, there are multiple usage for bitcoin.

At present most of its volume comes out of trading, exchange and investment. Certain volume comes out of gambling houses. As the market keeps fluctuating people consider it a way to make money out of it. This makes people prefer it for trading/exchanging rather than a transaction medium.

I haven't encountered any issues with any of the gambling platform. Whenever I loss huge amount, I used to get frustrated and this makes me check for the fair play of the platform. This way everything is good with the gambling houses.

Once myself encountered a delay with the withdrawal and I requested the support team for help. Within few days things got resolved and myself continued using it, because the platform is highly a trusted one.
2883  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc and darkweb and liberty reserve on: December 09, 2021, 04:18:11 AM
Even now the largest percentage of dark web money being demanded is USD. Earlier bitcoin always gets connected with darkweb, just because it is used as a transaction medium. Even by that time USD was much into illegal transaction. Now people have known about about the good of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Even now I don't say bitcoin isn't used on illegal needs and on darkweb. There is, but people now people don't connect it much considering its true value and growth. Nowadays once again the importance of bitcoin on darkweb is increasing due to the rise in the price. Earlier they feared of losing against volatility, now they believe in the growth.

Note : Guys would be better if we move this discussion into test thread.


Since we have a separate thread for test matches, one day and T20, then what is the purpose of this thread.
I can see this thread was created in 2015 and is the oldest cricket thread created 6 years ago but now it's time that we lock it. Any opinion on this?
OP isn't active. The last active session was during the year 2019. This is the thread that has the common discussion about cricket as there are other threads for different formats of cricket. As the discussions were taking place often, let the thread be active.
2885  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin ever get regulated on: December 08, 2021, 02:32:33 PM
Regulation of bitcoin is really a tough task. Different countries have planned and have formed teams to analyse and execute the regulation of cryptocurrencies. The usage of bitcoin around the globe have increased with time. This pressure up the governments around the globe to speed up regulating bitcoin.

Few countries have added bitcoin along with the gold, and has planned to tax bitcoin based on the transactions. For this the government need the database from the cryptocurrency exchanges. If this happens automatically users will move and look for other loop holes to skip taxation. This makes regulation of cryptocurrencies hard to implement.

Good project and price development pleases. At the moment I am doing several bounties for this manager. I hope that they will also develop their activities. Good reviews about the manager.
The manager is indeed very good, but they are also often deceived by the project team who sometimes break their promise with a manager which makes many of the bounties of the manager not paid until now except for Rangers Protocol

Did the Ranger team promise a date for payment?

It always discourages people in the forum when the team has not paid even after the project becomes a success just like this RPG. Price had also gone up to $36. It must be good pay for the participants of the campaign. Happens many times in the past and then the project turns scam. Maybe RPG is also a scam.
The price has reached ath value of around $44. Many bounties have rewarded big amount to its participants, at times considering the market progress there used to be delay in the distribution. As it is conducted by the trusted campaign manager, there is nothing to worry and he will not accept all projects. After a big study only he might've chosen it. It has got around $1m trading volume. Listed on four exchanges with RPG/USDT and RPG/BUSD pairs. I believe the team is delaying to avoid market dumping.
2887  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People claiming themself satoshi on: December 08, 2021, 05:33:02 AM
Nick Szabo
Craig Steven Wright
Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto

These three are more into discussion for the innovation. Among them Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto have denied that he is not Satoshi. One who keeps on claiming himself as Satoshi is Craig Steven Wright.

Craig Steven Wright doesn't have any strong evidence to put forth and prove himself as Satoshi. He is called as fraud for his activities by most popular cryptocurrency enthusiasts/developers like Vitalik Buterin.

Nick Szabo haven't claimed himself as Satoshi. During the days of 2008 he was much into smart contracts development. He also brought in Bit Gold and worked for digicash to bring crypto on digital payments. Based on his historical note he's also among the list who are doubted as Satoshi.
2888  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No one can continue ignoring Bitcoin on: December 07, 2021, 05:05:44 AM
In recent days (since pandemic) people have started to consider all ways of earning. This has made people consider bitcoin even without proper understanding. Even now most people know there happens growth for sure which makes them consider than ignoring.

More advancement is reaching the market, starting with the blockchain more things have got developed as a part. The latest being NFT, and more to come. People who have got plans of entering the cryptocurrency network has got an opportunity this time with the dip. People will consider it an opportunity than ignoring.
2889  Economy / Economics / Re: New COVID strain may affect crypto valuation on: December 06, 2021, 11:31:53 PM
Today three cases of the new Covid have been detected in my country I believe this is just the beginning cos it looks like we are going into another lockdown very soon in 2022
In my country, the cases of new covid are also found but our society isn't too panicked as before. Even some people predicted these cases will end soon in January 2022. These people believe the cases are just made to make people stay at home during the new year. If the news of new covid already spread out a whole country, people won't be brave to move everywhere. If we consider these people's opinions, maybe lockdown only happen in December 2021 and January 2022.

crypto will crash again cos many will take profits to get set for the lockdown
Crypto crash only happens temporarily. We must realize that crypto market is growing fast during the pandemic. So, Covid won't impact so much for the long term on crypto market. People may sell their coins now, but won't sell all. They know if crypto market will continue improving. So, don't be so worried!

The crypto market has survived from the previous variant of covid, so we may expect that things will not become worst for crypto this time. In fact, this might even cause for the market to surge high again since a lot of people will be staying at home so they will have more time searching jobs or any resources that will provide an income. So there’s no need to panic and decide to sell most of the coins as we all know that this correction phase has temporarily made the market dump, and eventually the coins will recover in time. This new covid variant may be a big threat for the economy of a country but most likely, it will not threaten the crypto market.

We have to understand where the market is coming, or least the investors, this is a new strain and we don't know what will be the effect on us. So every financial market reacts including ours.
This won't be a threat for the cryptospace, but there'll some impact felt. Because during the pandemic when the world market suffered, the cryptomarket kept growing reaching new ATH at some time interval. Those are hard days of life. Now more precautions were taken and governments are acting fast to keep everything under control.
But rest assured that when everything settles down, the market will recover again, it might not be the 6 digits that we are expecting this year, but at least a good bounce to $60k might be a good sign that we are going to be still in the bullish phase.
Myself believe on a market crash in the upcoming days. After market correction there is no big bullish move. It was moving around $58k for few days and suddenly dropped low to $50k. Often reaching $50k and dropping down close to $48500. It hasn't gained good momentum to push itself high above $50k and turn bullish. Somehow we can hope for the previous ATH and not the $100k+ value.
2890  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: December 06, 2021, 10:44:12 PM
You are absolutely right. I do not understand people who believe that the participants of the exhibition fight will try their best to knock out the opponent. Exhibition fights are rather a show which gathers a huge number of spectators, but is quite boring in comparison with a real fight, where boxers put up a good fight.

You can't compare the action between exhibition matches and real fights. The purpose of exhibition matches is to bring entertainment. To get the attention of the public, both boxers should be popular whatever their status or genre.

Since that's not a professional match, why boxers should be serious about the fight. It's only the exposure of both parties why people are willing to watch those fights.

But the difference in this exhibition match between Logan Paul and Mike Tyson, they want to see Logan Paul being KO. It was effective since even a non-fan of him will pay for a ticket that will be added to the total revenue of the fight.


There is no doubt that this fight is mostly about money. However, the question is, if this is exhibition fight, is the result, or even the course of the whole fight, consistent with the already planned scenario? If so, I'm sure those who expect Poul Logan to have KO will be disappointed.
Mostly? I would say its "Definitely"  talks about money because exhibition fights are for entertainment and the more it be hyped the more money or revenue that they could get revenue and this is why i dont really put up much interest on seeing these fights yet most of the time it is scripted or having those bullshit kind of decisions
since its not official so its expected or anticipated that results wouldnt really be justifiable.
Why can't these matches be scheduled and conducted immediately. As said in the above post, it needs hype as well as time to promote the fight. More the hype and promotion, there'll be more money. Such kind of fights at times look like an enjoyable one, but this could also serve to be completely against boxing. The major reason is mentioned, here rather than ability the script decides the winner. Maybe soon the boxing might turn to be the industry similar to WWE.

I'm stuck at Platinum 3, I'm not forcing myself to play to rank up because I stay with my betting style and limit.
Smart.
It's amazing how often you see players making low variance dice bets because they want to get to the next vip level so bad.
Plat 3 => Plat 4 is 1.5 million wagered and the base bonus is $1600.  Imagine wagering 1.02x dice for the last 20% - you will 100% lose somewhere around $3k without any chance at all of winning all in order to get that $1600 bonus.

That's the way the VIP levels are build on all casinos. As a player you will always want to play more just to achieve the next level. Even as a small gambler, Ihave the same, when I am close to a new level, I will always want to play more or even play a little bit more riskier just to achieve the new level.

dude when i see you guys commenting on your VIP level i look at my level:



and i wonder what century i will be in a big level, thats because i just make a lot of sports bets and i don't play in the casino and i also don't make big bets of more than $200 each game maybe that's why it took me ages to raise my level Grin

patience and hope, maybe next year i'll be at a good level
Slow and steady always wins the race. When we're into gambling we need to have patience. You've got it, and in the race of reaching this level you might've not experienced massive losses. Thats the major thing, because most of the users easily level up with a massive loss and further tries hard to recover which will lead to unwanted frustration and missing opportunities of levelling up. Good luck to reach bronze at the earliest.
2892  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which is the most underrated coin for 2021? on: December 06, 2021, 08:56:11 PM
Waves is not to be underestimated, maybe you didn't follow their project this year there are a few that have taken the market by storm, https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/waves-ducks/ namely Duck Eggs which have rallied almost more than 1000% under the Waves network, the first time it launched the price was only $10 in the end and had a rally to $2400 within 2 months. In fact, many investors are profiting from it. Maybe there's something you don't know about it. But of course the market is more focused on developing cryptos with a top 10 fan base. For me that is enough to pay attention to. I'm personally grateful to have made more than $30,000 more than the Airdrops they hosted.

Precisely. Waves is a smart contract platform, yet it's valued within the "double digits". If BSC, ETH, and Solana are over the hundreds of dollars (USD) in valuation, then why can't Waves do the same? I guess the project's team needs to ramp up marketing/promotion efforts in order to help increase mainstream awareness. It's all about hype these days, so any coin that's able to "add fuel to the hype" will certainly reach new All-time-highs in price. I'd "HODL" this coin for a very long time, as it could be a hidden gem that'll blossom sometime in the future. There are other underrated coins like Dapper Labs' "Flow", and DASH, but Waves seems to be the most underrated coin right now. As long as you pick the right coins, you'll have nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts Grin
Waves one among the potential altcoin. This is an altcoin that is competing with ethereum in the beginning. With time there is no big progress. I remember the days when it was around $3. It has reached its ATH of $42 which is good, but considering similar blockchain platforms growth over years what it has achieved is very minimal. As said we can expect these projects to progress and holding is the right thing to be done by now.
2893  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Any hope for BitcoinCash? on: December 06, 2021, 07:26:16 PM
There is no one to take it into the controversy. Earlier it was headed by leading investors on Bitcoin. Further there is none to support which is the important reason why there is no big push on Bitcoin cash. If I'm not wrong this need to be pushed, or else it'll loss its importance. As the market is full of NFTs and more potential projects, it is hard to move with positive phase within a short time period.
2894  Economy / Speculation / Re: New all time high record | $66,000 on: December 06, 2021, 05:53:10 PM
Certainly a great achievement demonstrated by bitcoin which has broken new ATH records. Even though the price of Bitcoin has been steadily dropping lately, it has had its ups and downs throughout its journey. However, as a long term investment, I'm not easily swayed by Bitcoin's current decline in price because I believe in the long term potential of bitcoin where the price might reach $100k to $150k in the next few years.
From year to year bitcoin continues to break the latest ATH and $68k is the highest price we have seen this year, although now the price of bitcoin is decreasing in price in the market, but I am sure that if conditions improve later it will certainly make the bitcoin price refund and can  will be create a new record high price, now it's better for us to wait and see where the next bitcoin will go.
Re-bounce of the bitcoin price happens for sure, but how long it takes is unknown. During every bull market, bitcoin used to mark a new ATH. Similar to that we've got a new ATH for this year. More price Predictions of reaching $100k was much into discussion. However the market correction seems to make a decline before the breakout to mark the next new ATH.
2895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: December 06, 2021, 05:19:01 PM
A very surprised time we have two leagues around the cricket and no one watching and having any talk about this yesterday BBL2021 started with very good match between SS vs MS with SS done very healthy score in their first inning and give target of 214 to win but sadly Ms all bowled out with just score of 61 within just 11.1 overs and two batsmen reach in double figure.
Today we have second match between BH vs St which won by ST with very easily as 141 targets was never been threat for them. After a few days we have The Ashes, so I have been feeling no one will be serious about this as The Ashes fever will work around the cricket globe.
Ashes is one among the big league played. In cricketing it has got more importance as it is the league that is being played since 1882. The last season of Ashes was played in England. After the 1972 Ashes series 2019 series ended in a draw. This time this will surely increase more expectation among the cricket enthusiasts. Watching a test match is really nice when the two teams are equally strong.
2896  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When is the Bitcoin symbol going to be added to the keyboard? on: December 06, 2021, 04:48:42 PM
I don't think it will actually be added to keyboards anytime soon, maybe in distant future it will be that mainstream. Some sites or applications add a custom emoji or symbol like the one we have here, on the forum, but that are mostly sites which have connection directly to Bitcoin, not with general chats, writing apps social media etc. Maybe some phone company will support Bitcoin in some time and add an emoji or symbol.


Insert Bitcoin Sign Shortcuts

Windows Shortcut - Alt + 8383
Word Shortcut - 20BF + Alt + X
Mac Shortcut - Option + 20BF

Link - Webnots

I had no idea that there was an actual built-in symbol for Bitcoin, that's really nice. These shortcuts will come in handy.
Samsung one of the most popular Mobile brand recently came up with its inbuilt wallet. Maybe the Mobile brands can add an emoji or symbol as said in the above quote. These days it is an easy thing to add emoji/symbol. We've got more different formats of keyboard for mobile phones. At present going through the playstore found keyboard with bitcoin background. Possibly soon we can expect keyboard with bitcoin emoji/symbol on playstore.

People and corporate networks are used to the custodial wallet usage for different reasons. For that reason the companies and individuals find it difficult to move to a decentralised usage in a short time. With centralized/third party service, if there arises an issue the support team will be questioned and the issue gets solved. Maybe the better understanding will lead people towards the decentralised network.

Often you can see more such winnings posted from different gambling platforms. Whats the core reason for which you've mentioned this post still remains unknown. If the plan is to suggest users about a good platform, then what you think is wrong.

If you're planning to spend something on the platform then it is upto you. Good, if you take the advice from most of the users here. In this board itself you can see another similar post on winning a big amount, but everyone have congratulated the person. This is because everyone believes on that particular platform as a trusted one.

NZ batsman showed zero respect for 10 Wickets in an innings by Patel. Surely India will come out victorious in the match. Kohli is struggling to regain his form, he need some more time probably. Only rain can save NZ, is there any rain forecast for coming two days of play?
India just need 5 wickets to wrap up the match and two days time to pick those wickets, knowing that New Zealand was able to defend loosing their final wicket in the first Test match when i really thought India would wrap up the match easily, New Zealand showed a fighting spirit but in a situation like this it is impossible.

The previous match was almost in the hands of India, but New Zealand played in a much better way and it ended with a draw as there is no more time. This time two complete days left for five wickets to be taken confirms the winning of India. As said, only rain can help them draw the match. Right now Southern part of India is full of rain, and there is no rain for the particular state in which the match is going on.

As of now we've got more services being offered in exchange for bitcoin. Through the forum one can meet all his needs fulfilled with cryptocurrency. This means living with cryptocurrency is possible. Earlier in an article read about a family spending their life travelling all around only with bitcoin and no fiat. It was years back, and by that time there is no big acceptance as now. But they managed to fulfill the dream, and those kind of persons will get clear picture through our forum.
