Good idea, bet as well. Not with that amount of money, but i feel you are on to something, and if not, it will at least be interesting and exciting to watch with those odds. So i am trying correct score in somewhere with best odds. 1:3 for Marocco.
There are some big that aren't playing for france and i don't think that people have counted that fact in
And this is the way to gamble, at least to me. Not counting probabilities on paper, but feeling and winging it as you go. It makes it so much more entertaining.

Take a look at this crypto company called Bitcoin.com, the name itself have a lot to say but instead these people went and create their coin on Ethereum  Grin Grin Grin

Can we say they don't know what they are doing? How can you name your project Bitcoin dot come and create token on Ethereum? I belief that Bitcoin dot come should have make their own bitcoin coin.
I guess you are talking about this: https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/1506606092847001608

I was sure this would be something at least somewhat innovative product and his way to spread eth adoption, but no.
It's an utility token for Bitcoin.com users and obvious money grab.
I would have understood this if they had token model to begin with but this is so unnecessary and transparent.
I am hoping they get sued for illegal sale of securities. And with their history of messing up, i would say there's a very good change for that.

Many tokens listed on Binance the moment they finished there IDO. So that means that new project can complete all Binance requirements quickly while project like Betfury can’t? They are denying the listing fee on Binance but base on my observation only project with good amount of funding can be listed on Binance. Is they just wanna hide the fact that they are not willing to pay the fee?
It's not only about the money.
CZ has stated this in the past that no amount of money will help get you listed if they don't like the coin/token that should be listed.
(Well not in those exact words). Listing in binance cold bring the price up but as there already is instrict value behind the token, the change in tokenomics should be enough if the money flow to betfury keeps coming. However there's a change that would change after mining period is over. We are going to me uncharted waters then, and because i don't know the specifics of future burning plans, everything i can do is to guess.
2904  Economy / Economics / Re: Tesla’s stock prices dropping fast on: December 14, 2022, 11:59:04 AM
Elon Musk is actually doing really great PR-wise. You just don't expect everyone to like you especially if you're a person with that huge of a following.
In what way are you measuring it? Because i can tell you why i said his pr could be better:

I've never encountered Hate against tesla or elon so much before this. He was doing just fine. He was even written jokes in SNL that made him look very symphatic.

In where i live, there were ton of public people in selling their Teslas in because of Elon's views and actions. Companies in twitter / pr accounts of cities were wondering if they would stay in twitter. So those were individual haters? How many individual haters you need to still have good PR?

Sure, Elon has fanbois, there's no question about that, at some point even i thought he might be just misunderstood before the whole pedo-tweet incident. That day i started to look more closely what kind of man is Elon. And those fanbois are not his advertisers that left the twitter, fanbois are not the ones dumping his stocks either.

So tell me how is his PR great? If you are talking about followers in twitter, then did Trump also have good pr?
And if he was, then what was he complaining in the first place?
End Elon has very much similar follower base to trump, people who love trolling and some mystical "sticking it to elite".
And this clown is richest man in the country that loves draconian work culture... This union is just plain weirdly masochistic.

Rest of people always want to see a dumpster fire, especially when that dumpster is worth $181.3 billion

- What are some current pain points in the crypto gaming/gambling space for players?
Same problems as with other gaming, nothing special specificly about crypto. Some people hate kyc but i wouldn't try to make being non-kyc your main selling point as you might need to implement that later too.

- What would you like to see?
More skill based games, but that skill shouldn't be something bots could just handle better then humans. I would like so much to play games like Civilization or Risk for prize money. Where you could team up and create strategies. Although teaming up, even with unknown people might lead to some sort of scams i haven't thought of yet.

- What makes one game fun to play -- more so than other competitors that have similar games (ex: why you enjoy playing crypto poker on X site rather than site A)?
Smooth/sleek graphical user interface in both phone and in browser. Intuitive design and big passionated community.

- Who are some absolute Degens in the space?
Everyone.

- Aside from BitcoinTalk (this forum) where else do you get your news that you trust (which newsletters, sites, which Youtubers, any twitter accounts)?

We just want to build this game the right way that players actually enjoy playing in addition to potential of winning big....  Grin

It will definitely results to something worse that FTX drama and will lead to people leaving and removing the coins they have on Binance.

I see that Binance has seen a total remove and withdrawals of $1.9 Billion in the last 24 hours, but it would have been so wise and smart of those who did when the FTX drama came up.

Binance makes big profits from when they carry out transaction as transaction fees are one of the major ways if how they make profits, so the pull out of funds has both advantages and disadvantages to them.
According to Forbes it was 3 Billion. But i am skeptical this would end up like FTX, while there are similarities with case ftx. If Binance is solvent, this will make them only stronger. If not. It doesn't matter what altcoin you hold, because sadly in crypto, no coin is an island and everything is connected to everything else. Businesses invest to other businesses and everyone loans to everyone else. So if the biggest CEX would fall, everything would go down as deck of cards.

However i wish this is not the beginning of the end but just another shakedown fud where weak hands will leave.

Funny enough, if Elon Musk would just shut up he would have better PR but i guess that's not an option for him. He is just too addicted fo a publicity and fans adoring him.

But stock didn't crash only because his twitter saga train crash, which was a huge part of it. It's now winter and clear to everyone that no-one in Europe can't afford to drive electric cars, not until there's cheaper energy around. We were counting too much for pipes coming from russia. And it didn't help Germany to shut down their nuclear reactors.

We need to invent cheaper and eco-friendly ways to produce energy for preventing something like this in the future.
2908  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple is SCREWED! How Ripple is going to fail against competitors on: December 14, 2022, 10:22:23 AM
I don't even like Ripple but can you define how it's a scam. Just because something fails in the markets doesn't make it a scam. What are the fundamental reasons for it being a scam. Being centralized is not a "scam" it's just being centralized. Being a scam needs a proof. How were you betrayed? Did someone promise you money or did someone steal your money? Maybe start by what do you mean by fraud bot marketing.

Right now you sound like someone who was heavily invested to Ripple for a long time and got angry because that rocket never took off.
Most people were very aware and very vocal about the fact that those fundamentals wouldn't justify such a high marketcap and saw it didn't have room to grow.

Then there are ripple investors:

2909  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The reason Dogecoin could fail in the future on: December 14, 2022, 12:00:01 AM
Their outdated technology doesn't scale well isn't their only problem. When it comes to elon hype, at some point he would stop supporting it because of PoW. That's why he suddenly denounced btc.
And like you said community is the key. From what i've seen their old welcoming happy people have turned into toxic place. Meme is only thing they have left and they are not playing it well.

This is somewhat understandable as this tribalism doesn't only concern doge, it has risen on every community. But that's one of the communities that doesn't benefit from it in any way. It should be about fun and being relaxed, but when people lose enough money they turn bitter.
2910  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC or altcoin on: December 13, 2022, 11:53:52 PM
Right now it's really hard to predict altcoin movement. We should be in the bottom but if we are not you can still lose like 50% with altcoins.
I would like to suggest ETH and MATIC but it's hard to predict when fundamentals have changed so much. I mean ETH has a bright future as a platform but that doesn't automatically mean it would be worth a ton. Fees could be cut to be fraction of current costs and with that so would the price.

Maybe he should have hanged out with Do Kwon as he seems to be too slippery for interpol. However i am interested to see what US laws he broke when FTX didn't even serve US citizens. Maybe something to do with market manipulation. But then again Do Kwon runs free.
2913  Economy / Economics / Re: Binance's Alleged Crypto Audit Failed, Its Auditor Refused to Vouch For It on: December 13, 2022, 10:19:36 PM
Binance says an audit shows proof of reserves of customer funds. But its auditor will not vouch for the reserves nor the methodology demanded by Binance.
What do you think ?
1) Is Binance manipulating the crypto industry
Yes, everyone involved in the crypto industry is trying to manipulate it. Not all manipulating is nefarious.

2) Is Binance involved in any sort of money laundering
Most likely they have offered platform for it at some point. They will close accounts if asked to, but i have a feeling that they aren't complying as much they should. Lawsuits against them are troubling to say the least.

3) Is BNB being inflated at the cost of investors/traders money
If you mean that they secretly use investors/traders money to pump the price? That doesn't make any sense to me as a tactic. They would just lose solvency

4) What will be the fate of users if Binance in any case will be scrutinized and found to be a culprit

Similar to FTX. But i wouldn't be worried about users only. It would be an extreme event and i would short everything i could in somewhere else. And after that i would leave crypto for years. Because recovery would take a long time.


That article seemed very biased against Binance, sentences like this are just ignorant:

2914  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can DeFi still be trusted?? on: December 13, 2022, 08:30:41 PM
DEXs have so many limitations which make them look inferior to their centralized counterparts. Why would people use something that's slow, has low liquidity, and requires some level of technical knowledge (especially keeping self-custody of your coins)? We can't think about DEXs replacing CEXs if such limitations exist. While developers have been improving DEXs over time, they still have a load road ahead before they become mature for mainstream use.
-cut-
Right, there indeed is the learning curve for unneccearily complicatez tech when it comed to tech but se can Day this for most things in crypto including wallets. Things have been changing for the better. Before metamask it would have been nearly impossible for adoption, and whole metamask has become better, it's still suspicious and unfamiliar to regular people.


DEX has never been a full-fledged replacement for CEX. DEXs risk becoming fully regulated in the future. If we look at Uniswap and their EIP-1153, these fears are not unfounded. Read the post on Twitter at https://twitter.com/adamscochran/status/1602087890686775296. It says that Uniswap may launch some KYC in its next iteration, its fourth. If that happens, it will completely overturn all the usual ideas about DEX.

Dexes will become regulated there's no question about that. That however doesn't need to take away decentralized tech under it.

What guarantees we have btc not going very low like 100$ ??
Can btc go Even like 50$
Becouse everybody knows that Market Will crash hard soon very bearish out look now for btc
If today btc start falling what price is good to buy ?
It can fall to 1000$ or lower why not ? What's stop btc to fall down like 20$-50$ ?

Only way BTC could drop to $100 would be total ban of pow coins and removing them from CEXes completely. I can't say this wouldn't happen but BTC have ton of lobbyists behind it and there's a possibility that free new clean energy comes along before it comes to that. At that point there would be no sane arguments against PoW. BTC won't ever hit the zero as crypto geeks would trade it between themselves even if it wasn't in any market. But big players would be gone and recovery would be near impossible after that.

ETH or fork of bitcoin or other altcoins would have taken it's place and we would have very different athmosphere in crypto. I mean we are talking in the BITCOINtalk forum.
2916  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why The Goverment try to centralize Crypto Be CDBC? on: December 13, 2022, 10:21:20 AM
-cut-
Yes, with CDBC they can track it, how and where you used it which really defeats the purpose of crypto.

Maybe people don't see the irony that with open blockchains everyone can track you. Which is one of the main reasons bigger companies avoid to use it as payment. They need confidential transactions to prevent front running in the markets for example.

However, I think someday will might be force to used CDBC though, specially if this is going to be mandated by our government. I mean I'm seeing it as the only "currency" we can used if we want to transact to government agencies. And if it is treated as regular fiat then I guess there's nothing wrong with it. Of course, we still be very cautious of it's usage as as I have said, they can simply monitor us with their CDBC's.
It wouldn't be that different from the current banking systems regarding of privacy. I mean it will be more cost efficient, faster and as a standard, it can be easier to implement to everything. And it would make some current third party payment systems irrelevant. Monitoring is only one reason for it. They are already monitoring money transactions and privacy or pseudonymity on those is pretty much gone with physical cash money going next.

Why would anyone pay $17k for one full bitcoin when it doesn't even come with an Image attached to it?

People seem to be pretty unaware that they are using same exact points to point out how ridiculous NFTs are that nocoiners are using to ridicule all crytocurrencies. Those are also just marks in ledger, just like NFTs.

This would also show that there is a chance where it we could potentially have none? I mean there needs to be a clearer explanation to what’s going to happen.

Let’s assume all of them are minted, and let’s assume that they keep on burning it, that means since there are no new ones and the old ones are getting burned, that would result with zero left in the long run? That is not really reasonable to expect, sure it will slow down eventually and try to not make it zero, but it could potentially be something unexpected and we shouldn't really be thinking this is just good, this is either very great, or it is too risky if there is none left after all said and done.
Right now they are burning their own tokens and correct me if i am wrong but they are not buying them from the markets and selling. They are burning gambled tokens and their own. There was a time when they burned auctioned tokens by players but i don't thin that's happening anymore.

But how could it go to zero? I know one other token (unu sed leo) where exchange is buying it from the markets and their technical goal is to buy it all and burn it, so they are buying it slowly from the markets and in theory the price should rise when people refuse to set up low sell orders and set them higher and higher.

In theory, eventually the price would just be too high to aquire even full token from the markets because it would be so expensive.

I am kinda hoping that betfury had this approach as well but that would require them to buy it from the open markets with their casino profits and that they would legally commit to this tokenomics model.

I am only speculating what could be coming, and sort of hoping it too.
2920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there any Live Casino In world that Accept Cryptocurrency and pay in crypto? on: December 12, 2022, 08:10:35 PM
I was wondering today that if there are casino that started accepting crypto as payment and if someone wants to payback in crypto, are there any casinos available.
According to me I have not heard anything yet but in future this might happen cause when crypto adoption will come than we might see these Casino bosses to accept crypto and other alts.
What are your thoughts on this?
I am guessing you are talking about physical casinos where you walk in, because there are ton of live dealers in the internet accepting crypto. However i don't see much significant advance of not having fiat money in the middle of it as it's liquid like no other form of payment.
And you are gambling with casino tokens anyway, it's not like you would be gambling directly with crypto on physical casino.

And you can cash in your casino tokens and buy crypto or sell your crypto, and buy those casino tokens with your fiat money. It's not the same, but if physical casino accepted crypto payments they would most likely sell your deposit instantly and convert it to physcal tokens that represent fiat money and that you could cash out in fiat money.

From the view point of casino just the taxation issues of it all would be nightmare addon of extra work. And just to deal with old timers and explain the liability issues / risks of having their own wallets and what crypto should they choose or not to choose if they don't want to lose everything would be a hard job.

In the internet it works with crypto natives, so maybe it will come to casinos some day when people are demanding it and experienced enough.
