I do not get how buyer never puts a guy around it constantly, like if you have a 36 million dollar copper, you hire someone to go check it out constantly, even few people so that there is always someone on that in shifts even when others sleep. I do not really get why people let these type of deals go this risky. However scammers are jailed at least that is a good thing, what did they expected? I mean you send someone and there is an end result, you have done a criminal act, and it is obviously there, how did they assume they would get out of jail time? The second you do this you are basically in jail 100% for sure.
Some people were let go because they had nothing to do with this, but 8 people were jailed from 10+ years to at least 5 years, that should be basically worth it if you ask me, if I get 1 million dollars I may spend 5 years in jail for it as well, depends on the jail of course.

Several sponsored advertisers have admitted it, and it seems to be a well-established fact by now. (Happy to provide hard evidence if you wish)
If you have proofs then just post in the thread you created Fake Bets. I liked that thread because it makes some good points but to accuse roobet, which is one of the best casinos right now, you must have some proofs. My take about the whole of this situation is that the streamer should just mention about the promotion if they are under any such promotion and then it is completely safe to proceed with the stream. There can be a small disclaimer or something which clarifies that the streamer isn't using his own funds. I really like the points you are making but please post any proofs you might have. I play a lot of slots at roobet by the way and started playing them because I saw some streamer playing them (the streamer was not someone who was promoting roobet though).

What you suggest is the best way to follow all prediction competitions sportsbet is making in games 'n rounds? Reason is that I can't spend so much time reading in forum, but I am having a lot of fun participating.
Then go to sportsbet.io 's forum profile and check for their recent posts by clicking on 'Show the last posts of this person.' It is the least you can do to check all their promotions and posts and it will not take you a lot of time as you will need to scroll the page only and the promotions do not end in a day. You should regularly visit their profile if you want to remain updated about everything related to them. I agree that sportsbet forums could be the best place for that, it would allow you to follow up both on regular games but also all the things and promotions that are going in here as well, there is nothing else that could make it work together. There are millions other places about just the games, you could see predictions everywhere, hell odds are in itself are a prediction if you ask me, which is why that is dime a dozen and you can find it everywhere, but when it comes to sportsbet promotions you need sportsbet related place and the forum is the best place for that. One more suggestion could be checking the twitter, all those promotions are shared on twitter most of the time and there are things underneath it and people share their slips and others like and so forth. These type of places work, at least it is both predictions and also sportsbet together.

I've also heard about some news that Juventus would be willing to decrease the selling price, yes. As he is 36-year-old now, of course I don't have an expectation like he would be sold for €100m etc. . But his wage demands will probably be quite high for sure. Anyway, I've heard about it also that there is some possibility for him to go back to Real but I don't think so. It seems to me like there are three options that he will think about: 1. He will decide to stay and Juventus will extend his contract and won't let him go for free. 2. Ronaldo will go to PSG and strengthen the squad even much more with Mbappe-Ronaldo-Neymar trio. 3. Ronaldo will go to Manchester Utd and maybe even end his career there as he has very special memories there. I do not get why would Juventus want to sell him? I didn't understand when Real sold him neither, but I didn't get it when United sold him too, basically I do not get why anyone would have Ronaldo on their team and think about selling him for ANY reason. The reality is that if I was president of Juventus, I would tell Ronaldo to give me an age when he thinks he will retire, and give him a contract until that many years. He thinks he will retire at 40? I would give him contract until he is 40, that is how it should be because it is Ronaldo we are talking about. Not like you could sell him and get a player that is better than Ronaldo for that price, nobody would be willing to pay fair price for him because you buy a player for this season but for next seasons as well and Ronaldo is awesome right now but for how many years? So that is why the team that has him could use him the most.

BSC does not offer everything ETH does, my friend. It has, for example, no decentralization.
BSC sort of have decentralization, as in it has decentralized amounts and tokens are free to do whatever they want, there is no regulations on them and nothing can be changed as long as people do not want to and if they do, people will respond accordingly. But, what BSC has that other opponents of ETH didn't have is a famous chain, you could look at Tron that had a chain for years, or NEO or link or whatever you want to look at, none of them were famous. Call it marketing, call it rich wallets, call it whatever you want but there is over 12 billion dollars locked in BSC right now if you look at defistation. That means that we are in one of the biggest chains all around, others failed to do that, which is why BSC became an opponent to ETH. It is still not there yet, but it is closer than any other chain has ever become which is why I think it is quite valuable.

I can't believe that everything was going normal in Real Madrid this year, they even came out of 3 year champions league championship just few years ago, so they have been one of the most dominating force in all of europe only like 2 or 3 years ago I think, and a team this good with no problems at all playing this well is third now, whereas Barcelona, which has aging stars, a lot of players unhappy at the club wanting to leave, the biggest superstar team (and the world) has ever seen doesn't want to play here anymore, got their president fired, turns out president was paying trolls to say bad things about the stars on twitter in order to promote himself over the star as the true Barcelona person, and they are second right now. This is proof already that Barcelona is a lot better than Real, if Barca had a decent year with no turmoil like this they would be at the top with 10+ points difference.

What a joke. Like I said, on an other site it took 30 min and I was logged in.
Then just stop using stake man, I don't understand why you cannot stop playing at stake yet always come out complaining with new accounts and problems. If you lose your authenticator device what do you expect from stake, just allow anyone to open your account and withdraw money? Obviously, the 2FA was set to help the user add an additional layer of security and if the user has lost it, at least have the patience to follow the right procedure. Any hacker can find your login and ask for a quick reset and that is most likely the reason they asked you to wait. I agree it must be frustrating as a user to not be able to login into your own account but you should have the decency to put your problem in better words and although show your frustration but stay within your limits.

Trading without knowledge and skill? Well, it is a question by yourself if you can manage to accept the consequences, and I'm sure you know already what mean. Of course, we can still make a trade but the problem is how we do a trade if we don't know anything, maybe we should expect for the worse.
Skill is actually a product of learning which come with experience. Altcoin market is already so unpredictable and if you don't have experience and the right knowledge about it then its almost certain that you will end up being a victim of a pump and dump scam or maybe buy some shit coin. If none of these happens, there might be a situation when you panic and hence lose a big chunk of your capital. It is just you who made the decision, it is also you who will lose. But I would like for you to open up your mind and be guided. Because if you are aiming to succeed in trading, then make first to gain knowledge, do the basic learning, and most important thing is to make yourself ready.
I would say that trading without knowledge and experience might succeed if you are only trading in BTC/fiat pairs otherwise all of the markets are really unpredictable and there is no assurance of long term value in case you hold a bad coin for too long, you are gone.

I wanted to invest a bit of money (£1000 max at the minute until I understand a bit more) in crypto currency - mainly bitcoin.
I am a complete newbie so would appreciate some advice on the following:
1) When is the time to invest? I can see today that Bitcoin is up 2.5%. Is it best to wait for a big drop or just get onboard now? 2) If I wanted to put 80% into bitcoin then 20% into something else - what would you recommend?
I am using coinbase. Thanks for your time.
Bitcoin is a good investment, but the remaining 20%you want to invest, do you want to invest it in another cryptocurrency or an entirely different asset? If it’s cryptocurrency there are other good altcoins that you can buy, there is BNB and there is Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash, Chain link and so many others that are very good. If you’re investing in Bitcoin now just now that we are in a bullish market that we don’t know when it may go down. But, now that it is around $50,000 might be good time to invest since it may go up to $80,000 and above. Not that I am certain of it going up to that price, but there is possibility of that. If it doesn’t, then that’s the risk we are talking about and anyone who is here should always be ready for it.

I just have realized that stop loss order have a significant influence on massive price decrease. If a crypto is currently trading at $2, and someone has a stop price of $1.8, selling at $1.79. See, when the price hit $1.80, you are forcing the price to go lower. And same happens in the stop market option too. As you are selling at market best price. What's your opinion? If there are few stop loss order on certain coins, how does it influence the massive dump? Please share your thoughts.
Stop-loss does only one thing and that’s to stop your losses from going further. You set it up because you don’t want to lose too much, so it helps you prevent that from happening. But starting up the trade again is up to you, you can decide to buy back that coin again if you want. It can as well be the other way round, the price can drop and instead of going up, it can just continue going down from there and having your stop loss feature ready and set will prevent you from that too much loss that you would have encountered during your absence. It’s just how it happens, sometimes you’re so unlucky and prices will go up after dropping to the level of your stop loss.

I am not a technologist, let alone a programmer, just an investor and trader.
What do I need to know about Ethereum's high gas fees? I'm hearing some say that this could sink Ethereum. How exagerrated is that?
Even I cannot say clearly if the problem is going to be solved in the near future or become even more appalling. What I can suggest you is that move to other coins and tokens as per the market need. I remember a time when BTC confirms were very slow and I am talking about years ago, that time I switched to dogecoins because not this many tokens existed back then, now we have a majority of coins to chose from. The basic reason behind the high transaction fees on the ETH blockchain, I think, is actually because of the massive number of DeFi projects being made and all the tokens that are generated have their own transactions which has choked the blockchain and its taking longer than usual to confirm transactions. I don't see it improving anytime soon either.

We should not be surprised to see the increase in BNB which is so fast and become the third largest coin, because Changpeng Zhao was able to make Binance exchange the best. Surely he can do it at BNB too, but to be able to overtake with Ethereum is still possible, even though it takes a long time. Meanwhile, to overtake with Bitcoin, I'm sure there will be no coins that can overtake with it. It is very fortunate for BNB holders today to enjoy large profits.
Also all the BNB earned through fees on the Binance platform, as far as I am aware, are burned and hence the supply is shrinking and the demand is either remaining the same or just increasing every day which ultimate leads to pumping of BNB token. I do not see how being number 3 on the list guarantees BNB will continue to be there forever. The spot changes like water tide. Most of those coins that made top list n 2017 or before that are not on that same spot now. At a time, Dogecoin was a top coin too but where is it today? Where is Bytebal? Where is Bitconnectoin? BNB may also lose that spot tomorrow.
Right but all the names you taken never had a product to support the hype and hence they failed to dominate the market in the extended run. Dogecoin was just a meme which I personally used to save transaction fees. BNB is supported and based on the whole Binance exchange, their latest services like I read somewhere about Binance bridge and on top of all, being the biggest exchange there are lots of BNB being burnt daily which like I mentioned above, leads to the growth of BNB as supply shrinks.

Here's how the market would react. 1. If the price of a coin is lower on other exchanges, traders will buy from them and sell on this, right? That will cause the price on those exchanges to rise.
2. If the price is higher on other exchanges, traders will buy from this exchange to sell on those, right? That will cause the price on those exchanges to fall.
This means the market will keep correcting itself until all prices are closely pegged to the prices on this exchange.
This is called arbitrage trading where you buy a coin which is low in any exchange and sell it on the other exchange where it is high. Normally this opportunity does not happen often as price remains similar among all exchanges but if this happens, you can take advantage of it. This happens a lot more in the local market like I was recently reading somewhere that in Nigeria the price of BTC is being traded at a high premium and up-to 20-30% above the market price which allows this kind of arbitrage opportunity if one can arrange BTC at normal price and just sell it to the ones buying at premium. I have seen sometimes when a bull run is going on, prices on localbitcoins have a huge difference between selling and buying which indicates that more people want to buy right now and similarly when a drop happens there are more sellers and less buyers. A trader smart enough to use these opportunities can arbitrage.

PayPal has adopted cryptocurrencies, there has been widespread opposition to these services. But of fiat currency it is used everywhere its charges are much less and the transaction is favorable but it is under the control of the government bitcoin won't die as long as crypto lasts bitcoin will never stop using many of the best currencies it is being used more than fiat currency. Other services are launching their company by accepting bitcoin as a good currency the use of crypto will continue to increase as time goes on.
Bitpay is one such service which allows people to accept payment in Bitcoins and I believe Bitpay pays them fiat currencies in return. People need to understand that service providers like paypal are charging fees which are going to themselves but the fees taken in bitcoin ecosystem is paid to the miners which ultimately helps get more bitcoins to the market as mining is the only supply source available for bitcoins. Also fees control is in our hands, if you are not in a hurry you can make the payment and wait for 24 hrs and most transactions do get confirmed within that time frame, unless you have sent the transaction with 0 fees. I often send transactions with lower than recommended fees and then use some free services to accelerate my transaction. One such accelerator I can recommend (I use the free one only): https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator?lang=en_USIf it says submissions are beyond limit, just wait for the hour to reset and submit immediately as we enter in the new hour.

The history of the Mt. Gox hack and many crypto institutions falling prey to phishing attacks could leave insurance agencies hesitant to offer coverage. There may not be as much of an industry standard of security measures implemented in crypto finance as there is with banks. There may also have been a few cases where sole holders of crypto private keys to millions in assets were accused of faking their own deaths. Which can only add to the controversy and risk factor of insuring crypto assets.
Account insurance like FDIC for banks is one tangible advantage traditional banks have over cryptocurrencies. One advantage they may be hesitant to lose. There could be political and regulatory pressure imposed against crypto assets being insured for these reasons.
Crypto exchanges, ETFs and brokers not having to pay monthly premiums to insurance companies could also be an advantage in terms of it reducing their overhead. Perhaps this is a gamble some would prefer to take.
I don't remember exchanges like Mt Gox being sued for lack of security measures. Lack of lawsuits and accountability could reduce the pressure on exchanges and holders of crypto assets to provide some form of insurance.
First of all there is definitely a chance to make money by insurance companies for that EXACT reason, why? Because if crypto is such a risky thing to insure, then you could charge premium amount for it, and those people or companies that get insurance would have to pay a lot of money to be insured and if nothing happens the insurance company would be in a huge huge profit. I would do it just for the reason that I would probably make it back way before anything back happens, but also I believe places like Binance or Coinbase would rather continue operating instead of just "exist scam" with insurance money. Secondly just because mt.gox wasn't sued for lack of security doesn't mean that they weren't used, and it also means that if they did had proper security and insurance they could have paid people back right away, or at least eventually when insurance company agrees, which means any other place that has it will not face jail time like Karpeles faced.

BNB already replaced by ADA and ADA hardfork has been making this coin grows a lot today. it seems like the current MCAP of ADA will be quite difficult to be surpassed by binance again soon. I do believe if we will see a very strict competition between ADA and BNB to get the 3rd place on CMC. It's too far to predict if BNB will be surpassing ethereum. It must get the third position.
Yeah, I can't believe that BNB increases this fast, it is really incredible that people are moving to BSC and other famous ones, I feel lucky that I got in a bit before any of this started, and a bit unlucky because I used some percentage of BNB to invest into BSC stuff instead. I had the right idea but used it wrong, I assumed that since ETH was so expensive and it was closing to near impossible levels to trade there, people would move to BSC and trade there, so I moved all my money into BSC instead of keeping it at ETH, that was the good move. But, I assumed the places I invest into would make me a lot more money and invested that BNB into defi projects, which did made some profits but not a whole lot, and now that BNB price is so much more, I could have made 5x more money if I stayed in BNB. In any case, I am quite happy that BNB is getting the attention it deserves, people spend 1 dollar for things ETH charges 100 bucks for.

well, so far, I see the development of polka-dots really amazing. Even now it is still in the 4th position of CMC, so I think it is a coin worth taking into account when it comes to investing. however, the price is still quite cheap, I think that the price will increase in the future along with the development of cryptocurrency. but I'm not sure that polkadot can outperform ethereum or BNB.
Look the price of DOT might never cross or reach as much as ETH because of the simple reason that the total supply of ETH is 114,786,596 while the total supply of DOT is 1,047,480,258 which indicates that the price of DOT should realistically be lower than ETH because the total supply of DOT is like 9-10 times of Ethereum. Seeing the polkadot ecosystem and the improvements that the team has been putting into work, I see that polkadot got a bright future.
No doubt about that and with the current clogged Ethereum network which has caused fees out of control, its almost a guarantee that Polkadot will do good in coming time. I have some DOT with me which I am positive about but I will never consider the value of DOT reaching anything close to Ethereum unless something crazy happens or DOT becomes just too useful.

This is a good idea since crypto users constantly increasing time on time. And you can help them actually to find new way to make a profits through safe gambling sites. But i suggest check very carefully when it comes providing a gambling site on this thread, cause you know not all on this industry are legitimate.. So you must visit the Scam accusation thread on this forum so that you have an information what are the good and bad sites when it comes to gamble.. This forum can tell you the truth men, so you must explore more..
There is a thread about the scam sites here, he keeps adding new sites so worth a visit before playing on a new casino:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5283832.0 There are so many websites which look great but they end up scamming, the most recent such site I can recall is goosebet which as I visit last was allowing users to withdraw funds at least by the looks of it but they stopped gambling operations for some reason. The demand for crypto gambling will continue to grow but it does not apply to fiat's currency is confined to one place and it is very difficult to make a profit here crypto gambling is a kind of addiction and many people play it through entertainment. Crypto gambling sites are improving a lot through blockchain every gambler has a great way of betting crypto gambling protects every gaming site, and its slots no one knows the details of crypto gambling and everyone makes the game great.
What makes crypto-gambling even better is the nature of the games they are offering. Till now the games made were controlled and the results were not verifiable which means we had to trust the casino or the game provider. Now with crypto-gambling games like dice, keno, bustabit and others we get the chance to actually verify our rolls.
